In one sentence

NeuroForge is an Australian AI research company building ERAIS and Fracture to make trained intelligence reusable, adaptable and practical on constrained hardware.

Short description

NeuroForge is the research lab; ERAIS is the shared architecture; Fracture is the conversion system. RKC, Sinter and SubjectNest help people find sources, organise community records and use learning resources. ERAIS is being developed for native learning, reusable capability, state and selective execution. Fracture converts supported existing models into capabilities ERAIS can use. Services include defined business workflows, technical consulting and larger deployment or research agreements.

The ambition

Training a model creates valuable capability. NeuroForge is working to make that capability something teams can reuse, combine and extend. The long-term opportunity is to preserve training investment, control operating costs and make ambitious AI development accessible to more researchers and organisations.

The research spans native training, model conversion, multimodal processing and embodied agents. Public results identify the model, test conditions and scope of each measurement. Current engineering records and live experiments are available on the site.

ERAIS in plain English

ERAIS brings specialist components into a shared architecture. The system selects a route for the task, carries relevant state between interactions and accounts for the computation performed. New capabilities can be trained inside ERAIS or imported through a supported Fracture conversion.

ERAIS is an expandable cognitive architecture for language, perception, memory and action.

The current engineering record includes loaded male and female CNS source models, exact-state checks and scoped CPU measurements. The evidence library retains earlier model reconstruction, training and systems experiments. Use the date and conditions attached to a result when reporting it.

Founder biography

Lloyd Handyside is the full-time founder of NeuroForge. His background crosses biology, physics, chemistry, big data, programming, industrial work and academic research exposure. He uses AI throughout research and engineering while setting the direction, designing experiments and evaluating the results.

Founder quote

“I do the impossible because most things called impossible are just incorrectly defined.” — Lloyd Handyside, founder of NeuroForge
