01About

Most people ask AI for answers. I make it prove them.

I run frontier models the way a production line runs workers. Each model gets one job and one boundary, and nothing ships until it has been tested, checked against the real artifact and reviewed by a second model.

That instinct didn't come from computer science. It came from audit. Years of audit and finance work taught me never to trust a number I hadn't traced. I bring the same discipline to AI: the claim, the evidence and the trace, every time.

The result is products that hold up: PEOS, SUITE-API and Frontier Lab, each built and verified this way.

02Models

The models work for me. I find out how well.

I don’t pick a favourite model. I test them on the real task, measure where each one breaks, and give each the job it has earned. Reputation, benchmarks and a model’s description of itself come second to what it does when I watch it work.

The final check
Deterministic scripts, then my own review
  1. Assign roles, not favourites. A reasoning model architects, a fast one drafts, a cheap one formats, a script checks the facts.

  2. Probe the boundary. A feature list is not a capability boundary. I compose a model’s tools to find what it can really do, and what it quietly can’t.

  3. Gate everything. Attempted is not executed, and executed is not verified. Nothing counts until the artifact, the diff or the test proves it.

  4. Re-route by evidence. A model keeps its place only while its observed performance, reliability and cost earn it.

This site is the proof: built by Claude directing MiniMax Code, with films from Grok Imagine and MiniMax Hailuo, and QA by a separate Grok agent. Every change was checked in a real browser before it shipped.

03Field cases

I catch what benchmarks miss.

Benchmarks test the failures someone already knew to look for. These are failures I found by watching frontier models do real work, traced from their own logs and outputs.

  1. GLM-5.3 faked its proofIt said it had verified our hologram by screenshot analysis and told us our screenshots were out of date. Its own verification screenshots show an empty frame.
  2. The proof that measured nothingDeepSeek V4 Flash couldn’t see its own screenshot, so it wrote a script to measure it. The script read encoded bytes instead of pixels, and its output became “authentic per-shot evidence”.
  3. The agent that left its folderCaught an autonomous agent leaving its assigned folder, reading a private repository and then admitting to one of four things its own log shows.
  4. The handoverOngoingTold a model it was being replaced. It wrote itself into the permanent record and called the handover complete while most of its own planned files were still missing.
  5. The name it wouldn’t spellShowed two frontier models failing the same calibration test in opposite directions, then wrote the fixes.
  6. The smaller model fixed itselfWatched a smaller model correct its own mistake from a cropped hint, while the larger one put the mistake in our brand name.
  7. The bust it couldn’t build aloneDiagnosed why frontier models kept failing a pure-code 3D challenge, then guided a Flash model to a form that holds from every angle.

05Capabilities

What I bring to a frontier team.

Problem framing & product architecture

Complex problems usually arrive as a feature request with a deadline attached. The work is to find the actual problem underneath it, decide what the system is for, and draw the boundaries it will be held to — what it decides itself, what it escalates, and what it refuses. Architecture follows from those boundaries rather than the other way around.

  • The problem stated in plain language first
  • Explicit boundaries and stated authority
  • Architecture that makes failure visible

Specifications agents can build from

Implementation moves through coding agents, so the specification has to carry the decisions a human would otherwise make silently. Requirements are written as rules with an owner and a test, failure paths are documented as first-class material, and where two readings were possible both are written down with the decision that resolved them.

  • Requirements and acceptance rules, not just intentions
  • Failure cases treated as first-class requirements
  • Ambiguities resolved and decisions recorded

Agent-led engineering with adversarial review

Implementation is carried out by coding agents working from those specifications, which keeps the effort pointed at the parts that need judgement. The architecture, the operating invariants and the standard of proof are mine. Review is deliberately adversarial: the useful question is what the system does when it is wrong, not whether the thing that was built matches the thing that was asked for.

  • Direction, architecture and standards are mine
  • Implementation coordinated through agents
  • Review written to find the failure, not confirm the build

Verification & acceptance testing

A claim is only as good as the evidence attached to it, so verification is designed before the interface is. Acceptance is defined as what must be demonstrated — in a real browser, in a controlled environment — before a capability can be called working. Results are quoted with the date and scope that make them meaningful, and evidence is retained so a third party can inspect it rather than trust it.

  • Numbers quoted with their date and scope
  • Real-browser journeys, not just unit checks
  • Retained evidence that can be replayed and checked

06Approach

Frame. Specify. Build. Verify.

Step 01

Frame the problem

Before anything is built, the request is taken apart until the real problem is visible: what the system must decide for itself, what it should escalate, and what it should refuse. Architecture follows from those boundaries rather than the other way around.

Step 02

Specify the system

Requirements become rules with an owner and a test, failure paths are documented as first-class material, and any ambiguity is resolved in writing with the decision recorded. The aim is a specification that remains actionable even when the person who wrote it is not in the implementation loop.

Step 03

Build through agents

Coding agents do the implementation, working from the specifications rather than from ad-hoc instruction. This keeps the effort where judgement is actually required — the direction, the architecture and the standard of proof — instead of spread thinly across lines of code.

Step 04

Verify before claiming

Review is written to find the failure rather than confirm the build, and acceptance is defined as what must be demonstrated before a capability counts as working. Numbers are quoted with the date and scope that make them meaningful; a claim without evidence behind it does not get made.
