A brain, not a model.
AsterMind AI is a cybernetic organism. Watch how it senses, remembers, thinks and answers.
Every neuron is a nerve membrane
In AsterMind AI, every neuron computes the physics of a real nerve membrane: the current that flows when a channel opens, I = g·(Erev − V). There are no weights, no tokens and no sampler.
Every connection is a real receptor
Acetylcholine excites. GABA inhibits. NMDA holds. Dopamine teaches.
Three lineages, one organism
Her song system comes from a songbird. Her memory and cortex come from a mammal. Her senses and her learning come from an insect.
She learns what normal feels like
She is surprised by what isn't. Habituation and surprise are physical events in her tissue, not a threshold in a script.
She types her own answer
Ask her "what is the journey" and she answers with her own motor neurons, pressing the keys: castleroad. The words and their order were taught; the answer comes from her tissue, with no language model on the path.
3.4 MB, no GPU, no cloud
Her whole brain is a 3.4 MB program that runs on an ordinary CPU.
Four kinds of AI, and where each one works
AsterMind builds more than one kind of AI. Here is what each one is, and which product it powers.
AsterMind AI, the brain
A cybernetic organism: every neuron is a simulated nerve membrane, with songbird, mammal and insect anatomy. Not machine learning.
Powers: Our research, and the physics inside the Detective
The Detective
Her sister in a cyber-security body: the same physics, working cases. Neuro-symbolic, where the neuro part is real biology.
Radial Starfish
A bio-inspired network of spiking neurons, arranged as arms around a central ring, that learns continuously from time-ordered signals and builds an internal state used to spot patterns, drift and new behavior.
Powers: The AsterMind Virtual Assistant: it tracks the conversation in self-hosted installs, and helps read your documents in the hosted service
Extreme Learning Machines
A small neural network whose only learned layer is solved in a single calculation, with no backpropagation and no GPU. This is machine learning, and we say so.
Powers: Classification and language detection in AsterMind MCP
