To be conscious is not to be in time

Only through time, time is conquered.

CES 2026 has been an exciting moment for the global AI community. We warmly congratulate NVIDIA on its keynote and the introduction of the Vera Rubin NVL72 platform and its latest autonomous mobility software, which together open new conversations around large-scale, agentic, and physical AI.

As a recently founded research institute, it has been both inspiring and humbling to follow these developments closely. At a high architectural level, several of the directions presented — rack-scale unification, collective orchestration, and layered safety — felt strikingly familiar to us. These themes closely reflect ideas we have been independently formalizing through our own research and patent work on multi-agent control planes, including our TTCA framework and related filings.

Seeing these same questions surface across the industry gives us confidence that the directions we have been pursuing with deep focus were not peripheral, but central – aligned with what leading technologists around the world now recognize as essential to the future of artificial intelligence.

For now, we pause to acknowledge this moment. We continue to follow these developments with care and curiosity, attentively observing how these architectural ideas take shape across the broader ecosystem. When the time is right, we look forward to returning to these themes and engaging with them in greater depth.
