Research and Engineering Proposals
Index of research and engineering proposals that I believe have potential to create significant value for our species, even if disproven.
These proposals primarily focus on ideas at a high-level, and how they might best be approached. They are not completed research or engineering plans, although some proposals will go into more technical depth than others. I do not strictly adhere to any academic format or standard for these proposals, I do not want bloat.
They are proposals because they are difficult to research or execute, and I don't have limitless parallel capacity and infinite resources. However, I do hope to implement (a form) of these proposals through my company Auric in the future.

Hardware-Aware Additive Quantization for LLM Inference on AMD Zen 5
Many quantization methods prioritize reconstruction quality and adapt the resulting representation to available hardware. This proposal instead begins with a specific hardware primitive and derives the quantization format and kernel around it. Permaq is my...
An Agent-First Compiled Programming Language
Elon Musk recently said, “The next step is getting rid of “source code” entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI.” I largely experimented with this idea through my Athena project a few years ago, in which fine-tuned large language...
Internationally Deployable Public Emergency Medical Infrastructure
This proposal succinctly explores the possibility of research and engineering work focusing on a form of internationally deployable public medical infrastructure designed to provide immediate, rapid, safe support when a person experiences a life-threatening...
