A brain that grows through
architecture, not scale.
ByNimer is an AI research company building a memory that reasons — and grounds itself in the real world. We build in the open and publish our results honestly, including the ones that failed.

What we believe
Today's AI gets smarter by getting bigger — more parameters, more data, more compute. We're making the opposite bet: intelligence is a design problem, not a size problem. A system that composes what it already knows, reasons at inference time, and grows new capability without retraining.
The idea
A brain, not an engine.
gets more powerful by getting bigger — more cylinders, more fuel, more heat. Scale is the only lever it has.
gets more capable by getting better organized — new connections, new structure, memory grounded in the world. It grows.
Nimer Cortex
Research · Patent-pendingA memory-and-reasoning core that learns without gradients.
Cortex stores knowledge in a relational memory, reasons over it at inference time, and can prove to itself which of its own beliefs are grounded in the real world — and which are only self-consistent.
New capability by combining what it already knows — not by retraining from scratch.
A real think-time loop: plan, draft, verify, revise, remember.
It can tell which of its beliefs are anchored to the world, and which are merely consistent.
Specialized parts composed like the regions of a brain — not one monolith.
How we work
Credibility is the one asset a research lab can't rebuild.
every number recomputes from a committed script and a git commit, across 20 random seeds, with control arms.
we publish our null results on purpose — two of our sharpest findings are NULLs.
an independent Rust reimplementation agrees with the original research code to golden parity.
most experiments run at $0 on CPU; the whole research line ran on a single 6 GB GPU.
