The training strategy starts with the cloud reasoning layer (Zone 3) at launch and builds proprietary models alongside it over twenty-four months. Zone 3 is not a temporary dependency to be discarded. It is the system’s reasoning ceiling in every phase. What changes over time is that proprietary models deploy to Zone 1 and Zone 2 and absorb routine workload, while Zone 3 continues handling deep multi-domain reasoning, novel queries, and the full inference workload for subscribers without local or regional hardware.
Launching on Zone 3 inverts the conventional build-then-ship approach. The system deploys within six months. Every subscriber interaction generates training data that synthetic generation cannot replicate: the actual questions aging adults ask, the actual patterns of confusion and clarity that characterize cognitive fluctuation. This data is the raw material for proprietary models that will outperform Zone 3 on domain-specific routine tasks because they are trained on the domain’s actual distribution.
The training pipeline progresses through phases. Phase 1 produces Zone 1 Tiny LMs: eight small models under 150 million parameters each, fine-tuned from open-source bases using LoRA and QLoRA, trained on accumulated interaction data. These deploy to Local Pane devices for subscribers who have them. Phase 2 distills working models into SSMs for edge efficiency, with expected capability retention of 85 to 95% at 50% inference cost. Phase 3 trains the broader Zone 2 portfolio, including native SSMs for sensor-domain processing. Phase 4 refines and unifies the deployment pipeline.
Synthetic data generation addresses data scarcity using two pipelines: Nemotron 3 Nano running locally for privacy-preserving generation, and Nemotron 340B in cloud burst mode for scale. Synthetic data trains the base capability. P-RLHF personalizes it to the individual.
Two university partnerships provide research-grade capability at startup cost. IIIT Hyderabad brings novel SSM architectures and distillation methodology. Purdue University brings clinical validation, IRB access, and regulatory preparation. Together they target 11 to 16 published papers across three years.
Total compute budget across all phases: approximately $150,000. Total including personnel with university cost-sharing: approximately $1 million. Revenue from the Zone 3-launched product funds the proprietary model development phases.
