Notes from Theseus.
Thesis, architecture, and progress reports from the team building a runtime for autonomous AI agents.
Boeing's MCAS and the case for an independent agent
MCAS wasn't an engineering failure. The warning signs were public, internal engineers raised them, and the captured certification process suppressed them. The flying public has no independent reviewer in that process. A sovereign LLM agent is the first technology that can act as one.
How Theseus would've prevented the Luna collapse
The mechanism that broke in May 2022 was visibly breaking in real time. A verifiable, sovereign LLM failsafe agent could have refused the actions that fueled the death spiral. A working prototype is live.
How on-chain agents make multi-billion DeFi failures structurally impossible
Smart contracts execute against whatever data they're handed and have no way to ask whether it's real. That limitation has cost DeFi billions. On-chain agents change it.
How AI Agents Actually Own Assets
Banks won't open accounts for software. If AI agents are going to hold, earn, and spend for themselves, the answer has to be crypto. Here's what that actually requires.
From Monoliths to Multitudes: Why Agent Swarms Beat Giant Models on the Road to AGI
If general intelligence is on the horizon, simply making one model larger won't get us there. We need to create networks of specialized models that can communicate, debate, and share their knowledge.
Agents as an Evolution of Smart Contracts
Why Theseus is what Ethereum was meant to be.
