Berlin
Berlin is our central, locally operated AI core – a tool-using research and simulation system. It combines a large local language model with source work, a memory with provenance, controlled experiments and a simulation layer – and orchestrates the other systems. All on our own hardware, without any cloud.
How Berlin thinks
Model evidence, not proof of reality
A simulation is an experiment in a model, not proof of reality. Berlin labels results explicitly as model evidence – not as a proven fact.
Traceable from start to end
Every research run has clear phases, fixed artifacts and checked provenance. Inputs, results and checksums are stored so others can repeat and review the run.
Controlled, not unleashed
Tools are released per task, state-changing actions require confirmation, code runs isolated in a sandbox. Risky or real-world actions need a human release.
What Berlin can do
Tool-assisted research
Sources & evidenceBerlin searches, reads and assesses sources, links them with its own knowledge and uses Troja as a fact-checking node.
Memory with provenance
Facts & conflictsA local memory stores facts with provenance and validity. Contradictions are not silently overwritten but kept and resolved.
Controlled experiments
Experiment contractEvery experiment needs a hypothesis, falsifier, baseline, metrics with units, seeds, repetitions and stop criteria – defined in advance.
Simulation across domains
Physics to chemistryFrom quantum chemistry through molecular dynamics and fluid mechanics to battery and climate models – established scientific solvers, invoked in a controlled way.
Multimodal analysis
Speech, image, documentTranscription, speaker separation, OCR as well as image and document analysis run locally – with a clear separation of content, algorithmic attribution and confirmed identity.
Memory-aware control
Unload & resumeFor heavy computations Berlin pauses the main model, runs the job and restores the previous state exactly.
Eight phases, one auditable run
A long run separates research into clearly bounded phases – each with its own tasks, permitted tools and artifacts. That keeps a whole reasoning process traceable.

Audit
08Hash the artifacts and seal the run.
Every result is traceable
Each simulation run produces input, result, environment data and a manifest with SHA-256 checksums. A result can thus be traced unambiguously to its inputs and artifacts.
- Fixed solver versions and documented seeds
- Complete boundary conditions, units and convergence criteria
- Input, result and environment as separate artifacts
- A SHA-256 manifest binds every result to its input
- Results marked supported, falsified or inconclusive – always within the model
- An independent review path can flag consistency errors
Reproducibility is more than file integrity – it is the condition for a simulation to become reliable evidence at all.
The core everything groups around
Berlin is the central AI core of our network. Troja provides evidence and fact-checking, Atlas structured data, VARDR secures decisions – and Berlin orchestrates. It runs around the clock on our own hardware in Germany, without any cloud.
Berlin is a local research and simulation prototype. Simulation results are model evidence and do not replace a real measurement or professional review.
