About the lab

Aeris Research builds agents
that do things, not just say things.

[ Mission ]

Open research.
Open runtime.

Aeris Research is an independent research lab building the next layer of autonomous software: agents that run on your machine, join your Discord, live in your browser, and operate inside your actual workflow.

We publish weights, code, traces, and negative results. The goal is not another chat wrapper — it is a durable, local-first agent runtime that anyone can inspect, fork, and run.

[ Story ]

From models that reply to agents that complete.

2026

Aeris Agent preview

First autonomous agent loop with Discord voice, Chrome extension, and local CLI sharing one runtime.

2026

Behavioural data engine

Live gameplay and conversation sessions structured into open training datasets.

2025

Lab founded

Started as a small team obsessed with the gap between language models and systems that actually act.

[ Values ]

What we optimize for.

Aeris Research is a small, distributed team of systems engineers, ML researchers, and designers. We believe useful agents must be inspectable, portable, and accountable.

Local-first

Your agent runs on your hardware. Your keys, your logs, your loop.

Public by default

Weights, datasets, and runtime specs ship under permissive licenses.

Behavioural signal

Real use generates real training data — and contributors get paid.

No wrappers

We build the runtime, not a thin UI over someone else's model.

[ Contact ]

Work with the lab.

We collaborate with researchers, labs, and teams building real agent infrastructure. If you are working on open models, tool use, or behavioural datasets, we would love to talk.

Distributed · remote-first

Building in public. Hiring engineers and researchers who ship.
