[ RESEARCH CATALOG ]

Reusable intelligence bricks,
organized by maturity.

01Active

Entangled State Attention

Recurrent state-based sequence processing for efficient full-sequence training and compact-state generation.

Sequence ModelingStateRecurrentEfficient AI
Why it matters

A production-facing sequence brick with full-sequence training, recurrent generation, and automatic execution planning.

02Experimental

Bolt Attention

An optimized causal-attention brick with compact latent processing, cached decode support, and automatic selection between supported execution paths.

AttentionLatentDecodeKernel Research
Why it matters

Pushes attention efficiency through architecture and kernel design while retaining a familiar attention-facing interface.

03Active

SOUP Architecture

State Oriented Unified Processing: an architecture that gives model blocks evolving state, observer memory and learned fusion, exploring whether useful capability can be achieved with less dependence on deep serial stacks.

ArchitectureMemoryStateActive
Why it matters

Asks whether state, memory and fusion can carry part of the work normally pushed into more physical layers — a potential path toward lower serial depth for edge and large-scale AI.

04Experimental

ElasticBit

Adaptive 4–32-bit matrix storage that measures how much precision a matrix needs, packs it at the smallest accepted width, and promotes it into a supported compute bucket at runtime.

Adaptive PrecisionStorageCUDAExperimental
Why it matters

Targets storage efficiency without blindly forcing every matrix into the same low-bit format; sensitive matrices can retain more precision when the calibration error requires it.

05Active

State-Aware FFN

A mixer-conditioned recurrent feature network that uses the hidden stream, current and previous mixer outputs, persistent FFN state, and physical-depth information.

FFNStateESA-conditionedNative/PyTorch
Why it matters

Makes feed-forward computation responsive to evolving model state and representation change instead of treating each layer as an isolated dense transform.

06Experimental

Residual Controller

An adaptive RMS-based residual controller that bounds branch-update energy and candidate residual-stream growth relative to the current stream.

ResidualDeep SignalRMS ControlExperimental
Why it matters

Prevents oversized residual growth from becoming one more reason later blocks lose relative leverage in deep models.

07Active

Visual Entangled State Attention

Vision models built around ESA, using state-based spatial processing while retaining the shared MLBricks vision runtime.

VisionESASpatial StateActive
Why it matters

Extends state-based processing into vision workloads while keeping a common MLBricks component model.

08Active

Virtual State-Aware FFN

A StateAwareFFN extension that reuses a shared state-refiner core while pass embeddings, pass gates and the evolving state make each virtual refinement distinct.

FFNVirtual DepthShared RefinerEdge
Why it matters

Trades some repeated compute for a much smaller parameter increase than duplicating full physical state-aware FFN blocks.

09Active

Micro Virtual FFN

A compact pass-specific gated Micro-FFN that creates narrow virtual refinement steps instead of adding another full-width feed-forward block.

FFNSwiGLUVirtual PassesLow Memory
Why it matters

Adds effective computation depth with small pass-specific weights — useful when parameter storage is more constrained than available compute.

10Experimental

Visual Bolt

Bolt-based vision models that pair the shared MLBricks vision runtime with Bolt as the underlying sequence mixer.

VisionBoltAttentionExperimental
Why it matters

Tests how Bolt-style optimized mixing transfers from language-model sequence workloads into visual processing.

11Research

NORA

Neural Orchestrated Retrieval Augmentation — an MLBricks research project exploring how models can receive retrieved knowledge as readable text, compact neural memory, or a combination of both.

RetrievalMemoryContextResearch
Why it matters

NORA explores a flexible knowledge layer that can support conventional language models as well as state- and memory-oriented MLBricks systems without forcing every use case into one form of context.

12Research

Harmony Router

A research routing component for coordinating specialized processing paths inside composable MLBricks systems.

RoutingCoordinationModular AIResearch
Why it matters

Harmony explores how a model can organize work across reusable components while keeping the system flexible, inspectable, and easier to compose.
