🔧 Summary

In our last post, Layers of Thought: Smarter Reasoning with the Hierarchical Reasoning Model, we introduced a new epistemic lens a way to evaluate not just final answers, but the entire sequence of reasoning steps that led to them. We realized we could apply this way of seeing to every action in our system not just answers, but inferences, lookups, scorings, decisions, and even model selections. This post shows how we’re doing exactly that.

🔥 Summary: The Self-Tuning Imperative

“We’re drowning in models but starved for wisdom.” Traditional AI stacks:

  • Require constant manual tuning
  • Suffer from version lock-in
  • Can’t explain their confidence

What if your AI system could learn which models to trust and when without your help?

In this post, we’ll show you a practical, working strategy for building self-tuning AI not theoretical, not hand-wavy, but a real system you can build today using modular components and a few powerful insights.
