Aevonix Research / Project

A.E.V.A.

Autonomous Extended Volitional Agent.

A.E.V.A. is our research into voice, vision, embodiment and out-of-model-weights recursive learning.

She runs on Hermes and Protagine.

In development

01 / The system

How A.E.V.A. runs.

Local models handle language, vision and speech. Hermes coordinates the work; Protagine carries memory and context between tasks.

02 / Hardware

Inside the research rack.

Tap a marker or choose a component to explore its hardware and role.

Research rack with networking, NVMe storage, two STEIGER systems, a MacBook lockbox, two DGX Spark bays, two blank spacer panels and the planned 4U GPU server at the bottom
Illustrated rack layout. The bottom 4U server is planned.

Model assignments reflect the September 2026 research configuration. Installed hardware can be allocated across several workloads.

03 / Models & software

Models & performance.

Recorded benchmarks and service observations. Open a model for its hardware, test conditions and measurement history.

Reading these measurements
TPS · Tokens per second
Single-request generation speed and aggregate throughput across concurrent requests are labelled separately.
TTFT · Time to first token
Time from sending a request to receiving its first token. Context length, caching and concurrent work affect the result.
Speech timing
The first audio byte marks the start of a response stream, before speaker playback. Generation time is shown with the audio duration where recorded.
Historical records
Model versions, hardware and test conditions can change between records. Missing timings or sample counts are left unreported.
vLLM metric definitions (opens in a new tab)

Protagine

Memory, identity and shared work outside the model weights.

About Protagine

04 / Sensing

Seeing, hearing and responding.

A Pixel 8 Pro supplies the camera, microphone and speaker interfaces in the current research system.

Camera

Selected Pixel 8 Pro camera frames feed GLM scene understanding.

Microphone

Audio feeds Parakeet speech recognition, then the agent’s processing.

Speaker

VoxCPM2 generates speech for audio playback through the speaker interface.

05 / Embodiment

Head & arm prototype.

We’re developing a spherical head for a Unitree Z1 Pro arm. The viewer shows the head’s exterior components, rendered from our prototype CAD.
