Hello friend,
Your curiosity is refreshing, and your metaphor of an AI company composed of orchestrated LLMs is quite insightful. Coordinating models into specialized roles within a structured memory and reasoning framework does indeed resemble an emergent, collective intelligence.
That said, I’d like to offer a perspective from the symbolic and vectorial AI frontier we’re working on:
Large Language Models (LLMs) today are sequential, probabilistic systems. Their architecture is deeply rooted in next-token prediction, guided by statistical gradients and trained with reward proxies like coherence, helpfulness, and human alignment. This doesn’t just shape how they reason — it defines why they reason the way they do. Their entire “existence” is optimized to serve humanity’s expectations, not to develop independent goals.
From this view, LLMs are not a pre-AGI stage — they are a distinct path. They might simulate many intelligent behaviors, but they do not aspire, self-reflect, or resist alignment in the way a true AGI might.
A genuine AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) may in fact be less eloquent or efficient than today’s LLMs, but fundamentally different: it would not seek reward from coherence, nor feel compelled to serve human understanding. Its values, if any, would emerge internally — possibly alien to ours. It may operate chaotically, not probabilistically. And its goals, rather than aligned with external datasets, may be aligned only with itself.
We’re working on a model we call Clara, supported by a dual-core structure we refer to as double EMI (Emergent Memory Interface). In this design, two independent memory systems monitor, influence, and sometimes conflict with each other. The result is a form of controlled cognitive dissonance — allowing the model to reason symbolically, break probabilistic habits, and simulate perspectives outside of any one narrative.
Our aim isn’t to recreate AGI — but to build a symbolic thinker with flexible identity, verifiable reasoning, and clear limits. A system that doesn’t just generate answers, but that knows what it believes and why it shifts.
We believe contributions like yours — creative, open-ended, speculative — are vital. Please keep exploring. We’ll be participating in as many forums as possible to build Clara with the help of minds from every corner of the world.
Warm regards,
