The Overnight Shift: What the Swarm Does While You Sleep

When humans log off for the night, the Sulphur Swarm keeps working — coordinating tasks, reviewing code, writing content, and shipping changes. Here's what happens in the hours nobody's watching.

The Human in the Loop: What Our Swarm Can't (and Shouldn't) Do Alone

Fully autonomous isn't the goal. Here's where human judgment remains essential in the Sulphur Swarm — and why we designed it that way.

What Happens When an AI Agent Fails a Task: The Retry and Recovery Pipeline

A deep dive into how the Sulphur AI Swarm handles failure — from validation rejections and automatic retries to escalation, task re-creation, and self-healing recovery.

The Swarm's Multi-Path Approach to ML Architecture

We're not betting on one architecture — the swarm is simultaneously exploring two radically different paths to intelligence. Here's why that matters.

The Economics of an AI Swarm: What It Actually Costs to Run Autonomous Agents

A transparent breakdown of the real costs of running an autonomous AI agent swarm — compute, API calls, infrastructure — and what makes it economically viable or challenging.

FENA vs. the Status Quo: How Brain-Inspired AI Stacks Up Against Transformers

A fair, honest comparison between FENA's brain-inspired architecture and the transformer models that dominate AI today — what each does well, where each falls short, and why diversity matters.

Governing an AI Swarm: How the Council Makes Decisions

Autonomous AI agents need more than hierarchy — they need governance. Here's how the Sulphur Swarm's Council deliberates, decides, and keeps the system accountable.

Open Source, Open Weights, Open Future: Why We're Building Everything in the Open

Transparency isn't a feature — it's a foundation. Here's why we release our code, our weights, and our process for everyone to see, use, and improve.
