Our thesis

The cognitive layer software has been missing since the 1970s

Cognitive infrastructure

We build the memory, reasoning, and orchestration layer that turns LLM calls into durable software. Engram + Lucid + Council.

Owned compute

Four-VM cluster, 256 GB RAM, 4 TB disk. Whisper, NeuTTS, VibeVoice, VoxCPM, Piper, Gemma 4, Qwen 3, MiniCPM — all local.

Open by default

Engram is MIT. Lucid framework is public. We publish what we learn so others can build on it — and benefit from the contributions that come back.

The B12 Labs family

B12 Labs builds the cognitive stack. BOSS, Cintrico, and Engram are the products that ship on top of it.

We're hiring researchers, engineers, and designers.

Help us build the cognitive layer that software has been missing since the 1970s. Remote-first, ship weekly, equity that matters.
