A framework for
The Stack
Six foundational layers. Zero external ML dependencies. Complete sovereignty.
SLEET Runtime
29-opcode virtual machine with precise resource accounting. Ephemeral theatres execute untrusted reasoning, destroyed upon completion. Cranelift-backed JIT for hot paths.
STELE Cognitive Core
Hand-implemented neural networks with no PyTorch or TensorFlow. Multi-tier memory mimicking human cognition: episodic, semantic, and short-term systems with priority-weighted sampling.
Built for Sovereignty
Your data, your rules. Privacy by design, not by promise.
Local-First Execution
Your Thinking System node resides on your hardware, acting as a fiduciary agent. No cloud synchronisation, no training on your data, no third-party access.
Verifiable Credentials
W3C-compatible credential issuance with Ed25519 signatures. Your reputation is earned through verifiable action, not assigned by platforms.
Autonomous Code Synthesis
Generate, validate, and self-heal code from natural language specifications. The system iterates until tests pass.
Structured Memory
Multi-tier memory with episodic, semantic, and short-term layers. All data carries bitemporal timestamps and provenance.
Declarative Workflows
Define reasoning patterns as Flows—graphs of semantic blocks transpiled to deterministic bytecode.
Policy-Governed Persistence
Only trusted Scribes can commit to long-term storage, each evaluating requests against programmable policies.
Peer-to-Peer Network
The GTR-Fabric routes tasks via geodesic traversal—always the shortest path. Dynamic pricing adapts to network health in real time.
Proof of Performance Staking
PoPS selects nodes for tasks based on historical performance, cryptographic reputation endorsements, and committed stake. Merit over politics.
Built on proven architecture.
About Thunk.

Peace of mind by design.
Memory-Safe Rust
Written in Rust. No garbage collection, no null pointers, no data races. Memory safety guaranteed at compile time.
Local-First Compute
Your data never leaves your machine. Local LLMs, local storage, local inference. Zero-trust fabric with verified credentials.
Cryptographic Provenance
Blake3 content hashing anchors every event. Ed25519 signatures on credentials. QUIC with TLS 1.3 for peer communication.
Event-Sourced Architecture
56 typed event variants with full provenance chains. Every state change is immutable and auditable.
