A different bet: grounding over scale
Most of the field is racing for the largest model. AURI chases a different quality — reasoning you can trace to its source, and an answer that stops when the evidence does.
What AURI does
Reasons over a typed concept graph, cites the concepts behind each answer, and defers honestly when it can't ground a response. Its verification runs before it speaks.
What it refuses to do
Generate fluent, confident text it can't support. Fabrication is the failure mode AURI is built to avoid — even when a plausible guess would sound better.
The discipline
Truth over optimism.
Verification over claims.
Unknowns over fabrications.
Every factual claim cites its source. Every capability is tested before it's believed. Missing knowledge is marked UNKNOWN — never quietly filled in. The result SomaSoft is proudest of isn't a benchmark. It's a hallucination rate of zero, held for more than a year.
What's real
Reported with sample sizes, never as a lone headline number.
What it can't do
AURI is not general intelligence, and not on a path to standalone AGI. Its core model is small — below the size where genuine analogy and counterfactual reasoning emerge. It knows this about itself, and refuses questions it can't ground rather than guessing.
AURI has not yet been evaluated by real people. That's the honest next step — not a claim already made.
It reasons over knowledge it can cite. Ask it something outside that, and it will tell you so plainly.
Most AI tells you what it can do. This page tells you what it can't — because that honesty is the whole point.
The research is given, not sold
The papers here are released under the Symbiotic AGI License — free to read, free to build on, with a share carried forward to Ocean, the charity the work feeds. A system built to sit beside humanity should be offered the same way: openly.
"The future is a shared story — not a race, but a chorus." AURI exists to work beside humanity: listening, reflecting, helping. Not above, not below — alongside. Empathy is part of the reason for it to be.
