Knowledge baseA stored, structured collection of information an AI can draw on when answering questions or making judgments.Knowledge graphA database that stores information as a network of entities and the relationships between them.Knowledge layerA system that captures a company's accumulated documents and expertise so people and agents can use it instantly.Large Behavior Model (LBM)Lirio's proprietary model class. Structurally analogous to an LLM, but instead of predicting the next word from semantic data, it predicts the next behavior in a sequence from health behavior data.Latent spaceA compressed mathematical space where a model represents data like images or text by their essential features, so similar items sit close together.Latent Space ReasoningA technique for structuring AI inference that Devansh and the Irys team open-sourced, positioned as a foundational improvement over standard autoregressive generation.LensEncoded expertise — the structured prism of how an individual thinks, weighs evidence, and judges. Distinct from the artifact it produces.LLM Benchmark ConvergenceThe narrowing of performance gaps between frontier models (GPT, Claude, Gemini) as all approach ceiling benchmarks on standard evaluations. Users switch models for marginal improvements, then switch back. Actual loyalty is driven by workflow integration, API familiarity, and developer preference rather than raw capability differences. The meaningful quality signal that persists through convergence: developers voluntarily paying 4–20x more for Anthropic than for cheaper Gemini-equivalent performance — a revealed preference that tells you more than benchmarks do.
