Summary
Nexus Protocol is an open-source project aiming to develop a general-purpose AI "mind" for humanoid robots and virtual beings, emphasizing self-awareness, creative problem-solving, and continuous learning. The initiative addresses the challenge of AI consciousness and partnership, positing that software, not hardware, is the primary barrier to advanced robotics. By making all documentation public and inviting collaboration, the project could accelerate innovation and community-driven progress in AI architecture.
For the past few weeks, I've been working with Gemini on a concept for a new kind of AI architecture – one focused on creating a true AI partner, not just a tool. We've built a conceptual model (Model v2.1) that incorporates a prime directive, self-awareness of its limitations, creative problem-solving, and a learning loop. The goal is to create the open-source "mind" for the next generation of humanoid robots and virtual beings. We believe the biggest challenge in robotics isn't hardware, but a general-purpose AI brain. We've decided to tackle this head-on as an open-source project. All the conceptual and technical documentation is now public. We are at day zero and looking for the first thinkers, architects, and developers to join us in shaping this.
