Project origin, technical direction, and formation work. Full legal name, role boundaries, affiliations, and future board relationship must be published before incorporation.
About / Institution in formation
An eventual home for software meant to outlive its origin.
Hyphae Research Foundation begins with three systems and a commitment to make their technical and institutional boundaries equally inspectable. The foundation is the destination; the current initiative is the honest starting point.
Mission
Cultivate open infrastructure for durable, accountable computation.
We focus on systems that operate locally, remember useful state, survive interruption, and carry evidence that can be examined independently. We publish the code, the contracts, the methods, the limits, and the decisions needed to continue the work.
Our current technical scope is intentionally narrow: Hyphae, a local-first verifiable data engine; Hyphae Transformer, a governed PyTorch framework for reproducible architecture research; and Hyphae BitNet, a correctness-first CPU runtime for supported ternary networks.
Legal status
Last verified: 23 August 2026. Hyphae Research Foundation is an initiative in formation, incubated by Celiums Solutions LLC as organizer, interim custodian, funder, and operator, and as incorporator only if formation filings name it. It is not yet a separate legal entity, charity, or tax-exempt organization. Current holders retain legal title to project assets until documented transfer and foundation acceptance. The LLC does not own the future foundation.
People
Maintainers and independent directors
The initiative is seeking the structure, not claiming the people. Appointments, affiliations, terms, conflicts, and authority will appear here when formally established.
Institutional commitments
Public status
Legal, project, release, and research maturity must be labeled with dated facts rather than implied through design or language.
Rights clarity
Code licenses, documentation licenses, marks, contributor copyright, model rights, and asset transfers remain separate and explicit.
Open decisions
Technical and governance decisions are public by default, with named exceptions for security, legal, personnel, and conduct matters.
Continuity
Repositories, packages, domains, signing identities, funds, and operational knowledge require documented succession and dual control.
