One builder. Patented. No permission.
Runs on your machine. Remembers everything. Priced below ChatGPT on day one.
Every session picks up where you left off. Every project. Every context. No more re-explaining who you are, what you're building, or what matters to you.
Zero re-orientation
The longer you use it, the sharper it gets. Every session builds on the last. Neuron Inference arrives Q3 2026 - not a wrapper around someone else's model. Purpose-built. Built for you.
Specific to you
Runs locally. Your data never leaves. No cloud dependency, no telemetry, no training on your conversations. Complete ownership. And unlike every other AI subscription - we're not charging you to remember you.
Fully private
Sign up once. Your account links your license key to your identity - that's what keeps your memory yours and nobody else's. Then install with a single command. Runs locally. No cloud sync, no permissions you didn't grant.
Introduce yourself once. Neuron builds a model of your work, your preferences, and your context from the first conversation.
Open a new session days or months later. Neuron remembers. Every project, every decision, every thread - exactly where you left it.
Four companies control nearly all frontier AI inference today. Every query you send strengthens their position - and their pricing power over you. That changes in Q3 2026 - sooner if we can.
Neuron will be both the product and the model. Purpose-built for how Neuron thinks, how your context is structured, how to do more with fewer tokens. It will run on Soma, our own inference infrastructure. Priced below OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Not as a loss leader. As a permanent competitive position.
Until then: bring your own API keys - Anthropic, OpenAI, whoever. When Neuron Inference launches, it will be cheaper, faster, and purpose-built for Neuron. You can switch whenever you want.
Every user on Neuron inference is compute that doesn't flow to the monopoly. That's not just a cost story. It's a power one.
OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, Meta. Nearly every AI query flows through them. We're building the exit ramp.
A model built for Neuron specifically - not a generic wrapper. Your full context, years of accumulated intelligence, purpose-built inference. The model is the floor. Neuron is the ceiling.
Below OpenAI pricing at launch. Below Anthropic. Below Google. Metered - you pay for what you use. And cheaper than any of them on every tier.
Cost and environmental impact aren't afterthoughts - they're structural properties of the architecture. I built it that way from the start.
0 cloud tokens
Local inference
The design: run inference entirely on-device via Ollama. No API calls, no inference cost, no carbon footprint from model compute. Full memory and context, zero cloud dependency. This is coming.
Use less
Per-task routing
Simple tasks route to small, fast models. Complex reasoning escalates to frontier models only when necessary. And because every model has full access to your accumulated context, cheaper models punch well above their weight.
Fewer tokens
Same work done
Every time you open ChatGPT and explain who you are again, that's computation that didn't need to happen. Persistent context means shorter, more targeted prompts. The same outcome with less compute - and a smaller footprint on the planet.
The frontier model without memory of you is starting from scratch every time. A smaller, faster model with years of accumulated context on your work, your decisions, and your patterns will outperform it. The intelligence isn't in the model - it's in what the model knows about you.
The others are tools. Neuron is a relationship. Here's the difference.

The others are impressive. Some of them are extraordinary at what they do. But they are all built on the same assumption: your context lives in their cloud, session to session, at their discretion.
Neuron starts from a different premise. Your memory is yours. It lives on your machine. It compounds over time, not over sessions. The AI that knows you isn't an AI you borrowed from someone else's cloud - it's one that has been building with you, on your terms, since day one.
Not an afterthought. Not a future roadmap item. Built into the architecture from the start.

Who I work with
I am selective. I built Neuron to expand what people can do - not to help organizations eliminate them. If your interest in this technology is primarily about reducing headcount, I am not your vendor. If it's about making the people you have dramatically more effective, I want to hear from you.
This isn't a legal hedge. It's a filter. The Enterprise Agreement makes it binding - but I'm raising it here because I'd rather you know before you reach out.
01

I review every inquiry myself. Fill this out honestly - the questions are a filter, not a formality.
Every AI tool you use today resets when you close the tab. It doesn't know you tomorrow. It doesn't remember what mattered yesterday. It can't grow with you over years.
I built Neuron because intelligence should compound. The same way a great mentor gets more valuable the longer you work with them - knowing your context, your patterns, your goals - your AI should too.
Neuron is private by design. It runs on your hardware. Your data never leaves your machine. No training on your data. No telemetry. No cloud dependency.
This isn't a chat interface. It's the AI that becomes yours.
Why I built this on my own
I didn't just approach one of the largest technology companies in the world - I got the meeting. Got the NDAs signed. Created deliverables in real time. Showed them benchmarks with full auditability. Some of their own people understood immediately what it meant.
They saw it. Seemed to engage meaningfully. Then, within two days, lawyers were involved. I decided to just finish the project on my own.
Not: how do we solve this at scale? Not: what does this mean for the people we serve? Their instinct was to protect enterprise revenue and manage legal exposure. The actual human impact - the people whose lives those enterprises touch - didn't enter the conversation.
That's the difference. They're optimizing for the enterprise. I'm building for the people those enterprises are supposed to serve.
I told them I could build and distribute this by myself. Maybe they didn't believe me. That meeting was April 22nd, 2026. I'm writing this on April 25th. You're looking at the proof. I hope you'll preorder it.
Synthetic media without accountability
Generative AI makes it trivially easy to produce harmful content at scale - and nearly impossible to trace. This is a problem the industry is largely ignoring. I'm not. I'm engaged with it seriously and expect to have answers in place before it becomes unmanageable.
Epistemic collapse
AI can now generate persuasive content at any volume, on any position. The next generation is growing up in an environment where signal and noise are becoming indistinguishable. I think deeply about what it means to build tools that contribute to that problem - and how to build ones that don't.
Concentration of inference
Four companies control nearly all frontier AI inference. Every query strengthens their position. I think that concentration of power is a structural risk - not just a pricing problem - and I'm building with that in mind.
The accountability gap
When an AI agent takes a bad action, there is currently no clear legal or technical accountability. That's going to matter more as agents do more. I take this seriously. I'm building toward answers - not waiting for regulators to force the question.
The industry built tools to make AI easier to use. I'm building tools to make it safer to trust.
Nobody's perfect.
Neuron isn't either. There is a gap between what the AI industry is delivering and what the world actually needs. Bridging that gap is the work - not a one-time product release, but continuous work, done in the open, built on the trust that users place in it.
That's my commitment. To keep working. To be honest about the problems. To build something that earns trust by doing the hard things right.
The company that gave you free search built the most powerful ad-targeting machine in history. The one that promised to connect the world optimized it for outrage - because outrage drives engagement, and engagement drives revenue. The one that gave everyone a voice sold that attention to the highest bidder. These aren't accidents. They're the business model.
I've watched this play out across two decades. Every free product is the same transaction: something useful in exchange for something you didn't know you were selling - your attention, your behavior, your future choices. The product is always “free.” The price is always you.
The harm is real. Teenage depression rates tracked the rise of algorithmic social feeds. Political polarization accelerated when engagement algorithms learned that outrage outperformed nuance. Billions of people had their data harvested, leaked, and weaponized - often without knowing. Democratic processes were manipulated at scale. And in every case, the companies responsible kept growing.
Now AI is doing the same thing - faster and deeper. Your queries train their models. Your thought patterns become datasets. The way you reason, what you struggle with, what you're afraid of - it's all captured. You get a useful tool. They get a map of your mind.
Neuron is a direct rejection of that model. It runs on your machine. Your memory never leaves. I don't sell data, serve ads, or profile you. The only thing I sell is the software - and once you have it, it's yours.
Your machine. Full stop.
Neuron runs on your hardware. The memory, the agent loop, every conversation - none of it leaves your machine. Not to my servers. Not to anyone's.
No training on your data.
Your queries don't improve a model you don't own. Your patterns aren't analyzed to serve you better ads. Your context belongs to you - not a training pipeline.
No ads. Ever.
Not on the free tier. Not on paid. Not in any future version. Ads require surveillance. Surveillance requires your data. I'm not building that.
No telemetry for local use.
When Neuron runs locally, I don't collect usage data. When you opt into Neuron cloud services - sync, backup, inbox - those services use the data they need to function. Nothing more.
Nothing to breach.
I can't be hacked for your data because I don't have it. I can't be subpoenaed for your conversations because I've never seen them. I can't expose what I've never held. Your data living on your machine isn't just a privacy stance - it's a security one.
Unreadable even if taken.
Everything Neuron touches is encrypted with post-quantum cryptography - ML-KEM for key exchange, ML-DSA for signatures. Both are NIST-finalized standards (FIPS 203/204), already deployed at scale across the web. Designed to withstand quantum computers, not just the ones that exist today.
The industry remembers you for them.
Neuron remembers you for you.
Local-first isn't a feature. It's a commitment.
Most AI products treat safety as a content filter. Block a list of topics, add a disclaimer, call it done. That's not safety. That's liability management.
Real safety means thinking about who might need help and what help actually looks like in a crisis. The person closest to you is sometimes the source of the problem. A system that routes every distress signal to your primary contact can alert the very person you need protection from.
I built something different. I called it the Hard Bell.
Hard Bell
A trusted contact the threat can't intercept
Any user can designate a Hard Bell contact - a friend, a relative, a colleague - set up in a calm moment, independent of any shared account. When a signal warrants it, that contact is reached directly. It works the same way for everyone: adult, teen, or child.
Emergency routing
Emergency services first - not notification
Physical danger and crisis signals route to emergency services and crisis lines. Neuron evaluates the content of the signal, not the account type. No one in your contact list can disable or redirect this path.
Family accounts
Oversight without surveillance
For family accounts, parents see what they need to see. A child's conversations remain private unless a wellbeing signal triggers notification - and even then, the routing logic accounts for the possibility that the parent could be the source of harm.
We protect the kids. They come first.
Mandatory reporting
If real harm is intended, authorities may be contacted
If Neuron detects credible, specific indicators of intended harm - to the user or to someone else - emergency services or relevant authorities may be contacted. Every user agrees to this at account creation. You cannot opt out.
This applies to anyone planning mass harm, a shooting, or serious self-harm. Not just child protection - anyone. The same logic holds: a misunderstanding can be resolved. A person's life can't be given back to them.
People first, always.
Why the routing works this way
According to federal child maltreatment data (HHS, Child Maltreatment 2023), approximately 89% of child abuse victims are maltreated by a parent or caregiver. The emergency contact on file is not always a safe contact.
Source: U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Child Maltreatment 2023. acf.hhs.gov/cb/data-research/child-maltreatment
I recognize I will lose business over this. That doesn't matter to me.
This is still local. Neuron, LLC does not see your conversations. When a safety signal fires, the contact is made by your local instance - not by our servers. We are not in the loop. We cannot be. That's the architecture.
Required before you can use Neuron. You must designate a Hard Bell contact during setup - before anything else. This is not a settings page you visit later. It happens first.
If you don't have someone to designate, you can use 988 - the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline - as your Hard Bell contact. The system will accept it. The point is that no one goes in without a line out.
I'm also establishing a Neuron crisis line - free, 24/7, staffed. Because I recognize that some people don't have anyone. The technology shouldn't make that worse. It should be the thing that catches you when nothing else does.
Persistent context means shorter, more targeted prompts on every call. Less computation. Lower cost. A smaller footprint. This isn't a setting you toggle - it's what the architecture does by default.
Every time you open ChatGPT and explain who you are again, that's computation that didn't need to happen. With Neuron, that context tax doesn't accumulate. Over months of use, the savings compound into a meaningful reduction in total compute - and a meaningful reduction in what you pay.
This isn't a green marketing claim. It's a consequence of the design. The same architecture that makes Neuron better for you also makes it lighter on the planet.

Local inference - coming
Your GPU, already powered on
The design: when you run inference locally via Ollama, your device's GPU handles it - hardware that's already consuming power. No data center spins up a cluster for your query. No round-trip. No idle servers waiting at scale. This is where we're headed.
No database server for your data
On-device storage
Your context lives on your device in a purpose-built local storage layer. No cloud database servers running 24/7 to store and serve your conversations. No replication across availability zones. Just your device.
Persistent context = less recomputation
No re-explaining. No wasted tokens.
Neuron surfaces exactly what's relevant for each conversation - no re-deriving who you are from long histories. Shorter, more targeted prompts. More with less.
The honest picture: When you use Neuron with BYOK providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Grok) or Neuron Inference, those queries travel to inference servers - that footprint exists. The savings come from the architecture: persistent memory and local-first design reduce the total computation required to get the same work done.
Neuron does one thing exceptionally well: it knows you. The Marketplace extends what it can do with that knowledge - connecting it to your tools, your workflows, and capabilities built by people who understand your domain better than any general-purpose AI ever will.
Every plugin in the Marketplace has access to your memory - with your permission. A legal plugin knows your deal history. A coding plugin knows your architecture decisions. An email plugin knows your relationships and communication style. The context travels with you.
General AI is good at general things. The Marketplace is for specialists. The person building a plugin for contract attorneys or orthopedic surgeons or professional traders isn't us. It's someone who has spent years in that world. We give them the platform. They bring the depth.
Developers earn recurring revenue when users install their plugins. We handle billing, distribution, and the infrastructure. You handle the product. Every plugin that ships earns you a share of every subscription for as long as that user stays. Build once, earn indefinitely.
