Continuity and integrity for enterprise AI systems.

Symbia maintains identity, lineage, and audit trails across tools and environments — giving IT teams a governable, observable substrate for AI behavior.

Built for organizations where evidence, control, and traceability matter. Local-first execution, deterministic logs, and cryptographic identity anchored by the Genesis Key.

Request Early Access Open Source Primitives

Identity with cryptographic lineage Audit-ready logs Centralized observability

Symbia Seed Stack Snapshot

Designed for continuity over raw scale.

Anchor

Genesis Key (T0) + OEP (Open Epistemic Protocol) + GKS (Genesis Key Specification).

Continuity

Beholder Model, constraint hashes, lineage across cognitive traces, markdown ledgers, and docs.

Telemetry

/health, /status, /events/latest, /metrics — observable by default.

How it runs

./scripts/seed.sh boot → API (8123), Supervisor + Workers, Observer UI (9000).

Your creative process deserves continuity.

Symbia preserves every decision, revision, and influence — giving you a verifiable record of your work instead of a trail of stateless prompts.

A cognitive layer that captures style, constraints, and evolution of intent. Everything remains traceable, inspectable, and owned by you.

Local-first · Inspectable · Audit-ready

An AI that builds around you — not the other way around.

Symbia maintains your identity, preferences, and context across time so your assistant behaves coherently, not as a resettable prompt machine.

Personal continuity, drift-resistant memory, and local-first execution. Your work, your voice, your decisions — remembered.

Who We Are

The mission, vision, and values behind Symbia Labs.

We build the execution layer for continuity-first cognition: identity, memory, and structure that persist across time, tools, and models.

Mission

Advance open, durable machine intelligence.

We build the execution layer that preserves identity, memory, and structure across time, tools, and models.

Vision

Consistent, accountable, coherent systems.

A world where AI behaves coherently for the people who rely on it, with continuity and accountability baked in.

Values

Principles that guide the work.

Open source first. Continuity over scale. Transparency by design. Consent as a primitive. Local-first execution. Auditability at every layer.

What is Symbia Seed?

The early-access embodiment of continuity-first cognition.

Symbia Seed runs on your machine. It maintains identity, continuity, and structure above any LLM, records cognitive traces, supervises workers, enforces identity with the Symbia Key, and exposes an Observer UI for inspection.

Local-first runtime

Runs locally so identity and logs stay under your control.

Genesis Key (T0) anchor

Identity starts from the Genesis Key and propagates through the Symbia Key.

Observer UI

Outside-in observability across Human, Local, Network, System, and Services layers; inspect cognitive traces, logs, and telemetry with an audit-friendly interface.

Supervisor + Workers

Execution layer that coordinates work while preserving continuity.

OEP/GKS-compliant logs

Traceable, inspectable records aligned to OEP/GKS semantics.

Continuity primitives

The building blocks that make continuity-first cognition possible.

Symbia treats the beholder’s cognitive state—not model weights—as the primary thing to preserve and optimize. Models are interchangeable engines; Symbia Seed is the execution layer that keeps identity, continuity, and logs coherent.

Beholder model

Context follows the person, not the prompt.

Usefulness and trust come from tracking goals, constraints, preferences, and history for a real person or team.

Cognitive cohesion

No more brilliant-but-forgetful bursts.

Preserve the train of thought across tools with structural memory, identity continuity, and coherent narratives.

Continuity over scale

Coherence beats raw parameter counts.

Moderate models inside a strong continuity architecture outperform larger models with no memory or structure.

Logs as primitives

Traces you can audit, replay, and extend.

Markdown ledgers, cognitive traces, and reflection logs stay aligned to timestamped local events and observable endpoints (optional git snapshots when present).

Identity + preferences (Symbia Key)

Portable identity, no hardcoded persona.

Symbia Key carries preferences and constraints; drift is detected; workers read the Key before acting.

Cognitive gateway

Many models, one coherent system.

Routes between OpenAI, Anthropic, or local engines while enforcing consent, privacy, and consistency.

Early surfaces

Continuity-first demonstration surfaces.

Symbia Seed ships minimal surfaces to demonstrate continuity without replacing your tools; it binds them.

VS Code integration

Symbia-aware project layout for docs, logs, and specs; assisted authoring for architectures and position papers.

Chat-style interaction

A companion that understands the entire project structure, can narrate progress, and recalls prior decisions.

Identity + preferences (Symbia Key)

Portable representation of style, constraints, priorities, and interaction patterns.

Worker runtime under Symbia Seed

Shared memory and identity substrate that supervises workers while keeping lineage intact.

Premise

“Symbia assumes the scarce resource is continuity: who this is for, what has already been tried, and how new information reconciles with the old.”

From the Symbia premise — cognitive cohesion over scale.

Continuity pillars

What Symbia optimizes for.

Anchored in the premise that beholder-centric continuity matters more than model size.

Personal Continuity

Stable sense of “you” across sessions, tools, and artifacts.

Structural Memory

Breakpoints, decisions, and breakthroughs captured as reusable logs.

Context-Efficient Cognition

Use the minimum necessary context to reason well, without re-deriving.

Beholder-Centric Evaluation

Success measured by fit to your goals, not generic benchmarks.

Process

Built to stay observable and auditable.

Cognitive Trace + Markdown Ledger form the temporal spine; VS Code is the spatial map; logs are semantic state; LLMs are interchangeable engines bound by the Symbia Key and supervised workers.

Trace-ledger timeline

cognitive-trace.log, markdown events, and reflection logs build the chronological spine; git snapshots are optional.

VS Code as spatial map

Docs, logs, notes, and architecture files become the externalized mind map.

Logs as cognitive traces

Markdown ledgers, reflection events, and cognitive traces are replayable and inspectable.

LLMs as engines

Interchangeable reasoning engines constrained by persona, constraints, and audit trails.
