Aletheia Core, Heinrich, FieldLine PDF, FieldLine Planner, RightNow, HAVEN, PRISM, and Shield — one connected EMPHOS ecosystem.
EMPHOS is developing the model, the software, and the physical devices that bring intelligence into daily life. Our research also reaches into the buildings that will support that work: a proposed headquarters and compute campus designed around energy, water, and the landscape.
Independent research and product development · Chilliwack, British Columbia
Aletheia Core is EMPHOS Group’s language model. Its architecture carries context forward through an evolving field of oscillators, with GPU training and CPU inference as distinct parts of the development process.
The research connects model behaviour to the realities of a working product: useful answers, continuity, response time, memory use, and the energy required to complete a task.
Heinrich brings that intelligence into a workspace for projects, conversations, local tools, and ongoing work. The model and the application have different jobs, and both are part of the EMPHOS development programme.
Explore Aletheia CoreA local-first workspace that organizes projects, carries project memory between sessions, plans work, and uses tools with user approval. Research focuses on reliable execution, useful continuity, and clear records of what happened.
Explore HeinrichA practical PDF workspace for drawing review, markups, calibrated measurements, document preparation, and printing. Development follows complete workflows, from opening a project drawing to delivering a usable review package.
Explore FieldLine PDFLearning support built around explanation, practice, and an approachable pace. Development explores how guided steps, accessible interaction, and opportunities to revisit a concept can help learners keep moving.
Explore PRISMThe mobile direction extends Heinrich into the moments between desktop sessions: reviewing progress, continuing a conversation, and responding to an approval. Continuity and a clear mobile interface guide the concept.
Explore Heinrich mobileThe roadmap explores Aletheia Core and Heinrich in an organization’s own environment and within partner software or hardware. Pilot work begins with the workflow, data boundaries, hardware, and integration requirements.
Longer-term research includes interpreting signals from connected environments through Shield, alongside sector-specific tools for knowledge access, document preparation, and professional review.
EMPHOS research spans model architecture, context, speech, information packaging, and communication. These threads connect a language model on a computer to the longer-term ambition of intelligence in a wearable, a field instrument, or a private organizational system.
Aletheia Core research examines how information enters the model, how context evolves, and how inference runs on a CPU. Evaluation connects answer quality with memory, latency, and complete-task energy use.
VOXIS voice research explores speech generation, intelligibility, and control over delivery. The application questions include conversation pacing, listening conditions, and the audio experience of a device such as HAVEN EAR.
The KATZ research direction concerns packaging knowledge for delivery and local use. Work in this area connects storage, update integrity, and relevant information with the memory and power limits of a target device.
FTIP, PSIP, and AICL form part of the earlier EMPHOS protocol research into context and response control. Cypher adds a secure-communication research direction. Together, these topics inform questions about information exchange and system boundaries.
Our wider research programme brings these questions back to a practical test: does the complete system help someone finish useful work, with an interface and operating cost suited to the setting?
Ten device concepts explore how intelligence can fit the person, the task, and the surroundings. Aletheia Core is the proposed intelligence foundation; HAVEN research brings together industrial design, sensors, local processing, and the ways people interact with a physical product.
Spoken interaction, information at a glance, and visual context. Research into comfort, acoustic clarity, readable displays, and everyday use.
Clinical reference, industrial procedures, vehicle information, and wearable access to role-specific knowledge. Each setting shapes the controls and intended use.
A local base for personal profiles, storage, charging, and synchronization. HOME explores how separate devices can work together within a household.
Field observations, sensor readings, reference material, and location-linked records. Research connects the original measurement with the context needed to interpret it.
Hardware development connects the enclosure and interface to battery use, thermal behaviour, electronics, calibration, and service access. Prototype evaluation studies how the product feels and behaves during the task it is designed to support.
For HAVEN, that includes acoustic and optical performance, sensor accuracy, mounting, sealing, charging, and the complete device’s energy use.
The architecture explores a local relationship between a wearable or instrument and HOME, a dock, or an organizational base. Profiles, reference updates, charging, and synchronization are part of the same product experience.
Research defines which work belongs on the device, which belongs at the base, and how the owner controls retained information and access.
EMPHOS A1 is the proposed home for a staged CPU inference fleet in British Columbia’s Fraser Valley. The concept brings server design, cooling, power, water, and building performance into the same engineering brief.
A1 is planned as a companion to the headquarters: earth-integrated, planted, and connected through a glazed breezeway. Its environmental strategy combines seasonal cooling, useful heat recovery, on-site renewables, and detailed operational measurement.
Study outdoor-air cooling in suitable weather, groundwater heat exchange as a primary source, and surface water as a secondary option. Controls select the operating mode around conditions and system performance.
Connect compute heat with a nearby demand. The campus concept studies recovery for the headquarters and hot-water preheating, alongside geo-exchange for heating and cooling support.
Integrate solar into roofs and evaluate ground-mounted arrays and carports. Wind is a site-feasibility research path; grid service provides the balance, with space planned for future battery storage.
The brief proposes groundwater supply and reinjection through heat exchangers, with a separate surface-water option. The cooling objective is to avoid routine evaporative water loss.
The design work examines sustainable flow, source and return temperatures, water chemistry, aquifer thermal balance, and habitat protection. Water withdrawal, return, and consumption are tracked separately so the full water picture remains visible.
Roof, ground, and carport solar are evaluated against the parcel and annual demand. Wind studies examine the actual site resource and possible supply arrangements.
The electrical concept combines grid supply, uninterruptible power, standby generation, and provision for battery storage. Generation, backup operation, and purchased electricity each remain visible in operating records.
Earth-contact walls, thermal mass, insulation, and controlled glazing support the low-profile building form. Planted roofs and native landscape support stormwater management and connect A1 visually with the headquarters.
Waterproofing, drainage, air quality, fire access, maintenance, and moisture control are built into the design work alongside energy performance.
Submetering is planned for the compute hall, cooling, water systems, and support spaces. The operating view connects facility energy with IT energy, useful heat recovered, water flows, and on-site generation.
Workload evaluation adds answer quality, latency, capacity, and energy per completed task. These measures connect building performance to the actual service being delivered.
The procurement concept begins with a pilot cluster for architecture, workload, and operating-cost evaluation.
The initial facility brief uses 1,500 CPU servers as its planning basis, with capacity introduced in stages.
Provision the site and services for growth, then size later phases around measured workloads, demand, and site capacity.
The proposed EMPHOS headquarters brings software development, electronics work, prototype review, and product demonstrations into a shared research environment. The architectural concept follows a terraced hillside form with planted roofs, an open atrium, and daylight throughout the working areas.
R&D sits close to the arrival space, visible behind glass. Collaboration and focused work occupy the upper levels. The connection to A1 joins research and operating infrastructure while keeping the buildings’ functions distinct.
