THETATRON

The first bridge between humanity and AI

It runs on your tablet.
It remembers you tomorrow.

Thetatron is a brain-modeled AI that keeps learning after it ships, from the conversations you have with it, on the device in front of you. No cloud. No data center.

Patent pending

Running on an iPad. No internet.

Next day

After one day of conversation and one night of learning, it answered questions about what it was told. Without its memory, it answered none.

23 of 24

Things the person came back to or cared about, kept overnight.

Every time

With several people, it kept each person's facts separate.

Measured in our lab, October 2026, in tests with the pass/fail bars written down before each run.

Built like a brain

Thetatron isn't a bigger language model.

It's built like a brain: separate brain organs for memory, sleep and deciding what to say, coordinated by a prefrontal executive and modeled on mammalian neurobiology.

Learns without forgetting

It learns on the job with its own learning rule, no backpropagation. It read 8,952 new research abstracts on one consumer graphics card and lost almost none of its general skill. The same learning without our method lost 28%.

Never slows down

Its time per word stays the same from a page to a long report, and it kept the original model's quality. On long conversations it's faster than the original.

Honest when unsure

It says what it knows and what it doesn't. It chose to use 25% more of what people told it, with no increase in false statements.

Good for its LLM cousins too

The continual learning methods in Thetatron also support Thetatron's LLM AI cousins: existing, frozen large language models can keep learning too. Retrieval add-ons are such a drag. AI teams: ask about licensing.

How it's different

Most assistants are frozen the day they ship. Thetatron isn't.

It keeps learning

One day of conversation, one night of learning. The next morning, it knows what you told it.

It knows who's talking

Each person in the household gets their own memory. It doesn't mix up what one person said with another.

Your memories stay with you

Everything it learns lives on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.

A bridge between humanity and AI

Built for the places that need it most. Anywhere the cloud can't reach.

It keeps your secrets safe and adapts to you. A model trained in a data center can't learn from what it meets in the field. Thetatron learns where it's used, without a connection back.

The lab

Built from scratch, on our own hardware.

Every result is tested against bars we set before the test runs. We keep a record of what passed and what didn't.

Company

Founded by Jared Spigner, who designed Thetatron in 1997 and has been testing it ever since.
