COVENANT LABS · THE KERNEL

You are deep in the lab now.

This is the technical foundation for Covenant's sovereign AI infrastructure. Most of the bench is the operating system stack: a deployment couples the graph interface (where conversation, context, and memory live as one branchable graph) with NOD3, the execution engine, running on the Conduit infrastructure framework. Execution is typed and compiled rather than driven by free-form tool calls, memory is an explicit graph rather than a window that fills and degrades, and every tenant holds the keys to its own environment. The rest is the lab's branching innovations, which feed everything else.

I · CORE

The two components every Alfred deployment couples into one machine.

  • K.01
    The graph interface

    The graph-based interface, memory included. Conversation, context, and memory as one explicit, branchable graph the user owns.

  • K.02
    NOD3

    The execution engine. Typed, signed, composable actions, planned before they run. No free-form tool calls inside the boundary.

II · SECURITY & ENCRYPTION

  • K.03
    Model Encryption Protocol

    Cryptographic inference through structure-preserving transforms. The host computes; the host learns nothing.

    OUTPUT 001
  • K.04
    The security model

    Signed action registration and NOD3-verified invocation. A clean trust boundary between the engine core and the action surface.

III · BRANCHING INNOVATIONS

  • K.05
    Conduit

    Open-source infrastructure framework. The same code runs on any provider; sovereignty stays with the owner.

    OUTPUT 003
  • K.06
    Model Data Language

    Type-safe model programming. Language models become structured, validated interfaces.

  • K.07
    LM Lite

    Multi-model batching engine. More models per GPU, without giving up isolation.
