Frontier AI, institutional judgment.
Cerebral is an applied-research studio at the intersection of agentic AI/ML deep tech and institutional advisory — building frontier systems and guiding the academic and enterprise institutions that put them to work.
A studio run by builders and scientists, not by a deck.
Its technical core — Christian T. and Patrick G. — brings 40+ combined years building AI, cloud, and internet infrastructure at scale.
Deep tech across the agentic frontier.
Cerebral builds and operates its own stack — dogfooded top to bottom before it ships. Four lines, from what an agent remembers to how its every action is governed. The full product index — reverie, cortex, cicatrix, pact, escapement, meridian, soma, terrarium — lives at cerebral.work/product.
reverie / engramsomaenforced > advisory at every layer.Judgment for the institutions living the AI industrial revolution.
Every institution adopting agents hits the same wall: autonomy it cannot see, cannot audit, and cannot govern. Advisory guardrails — a prompt, a policy doc, a human-in-the-loop checkbox — erode the moment an agent is trusted with something that matters.
Cerebral's value is making agentic behavior enforceable, not advisory. Not another dashboard — the controls that let a board actually stand behind an agent workforce:
See what every agent does as it happens — inputs, tool calls, outputs, cost, latency. You cannot govern what you cannot watch.
An append-only, sealed record behind every consequential action — who acted, on what, why, and the outcome. Accountability that survives the review.
Consequential verbs classified and gated before they run — proceed, queue for sign-off, or block. Enforcement in the runtime, not a system prompt.
Autonomy earned per verb through track record and a named human's ratification, demoted instantly on incident. Trust that ratchets — never a blanket grant.
Standing agents are authored, not improvised — disposition, tone, and boundaries mapped 1:1 to the real tool surface. Consistent, on-brand behavior that doesn't drift or leak.
Every agent's output scored by an independent LLM jury (G-Eval + PoLL + ChatEval) before it ships. Measurable quality, not vibes.

Engineering the frontier, grounded in discovery.
The next AI systems are as much a science problem as an engineering one. On the left, the deep-tech and infrastructure the studio builds; on the right, the working scientists whose research grounds it — with selected peer-reviewed work from the last three years.

The studio's DFlash draft-model speedup on GLM-4.7-Flash, benchmarked across eleven task domains on Berkeley Lab A100s — reproduced from the run. DFlash (amber) lifts throughput well above the MTP baseline, most on reasoning-heavy work.
A studio that ships systems, not slides.
A sample of the estate behind the products and advisory — real, running code across memory, orchestration, containment, and infrastructure.
Signed, tagged, and reproducible from nothing.
The estate keeps a monument register — the gaze — every repository under custody, every commit signed by a known hand, every session on the record. The operator steered; the intelligence executed. The sands don't come for what lives in git. Gaze upon the works →
Own the floor, not the spotlight.
Behind the studio stands Vesperan — the holding house of the estate. It owns the marks, the intellectual property, and the floor everything else is built on — and it sells nothing. Every brand's IP rolls up; operating companies license down. Nothing raw leaves the building.
