Research that ships.

We build AI infrastructure and privacy-first software. Our research becomes products. Our products validate our research. One flywheel.

Founded by Myron Koch - independent AI researcher, former AI Director, guest lecturer to university engineering and blockchain societies at Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Cornell Tech, NYU, and Oxford.

PrimeAgentOrchestrator: Memory-Primed Agent Spawning

Spawns coding agents pre-loaded with memories from PostgreSQL + semantic search. Three generations of context delivery, four months of production use.

arXiv:2608.20342 - cs.AI preprint, 2026 - also Zenodo DOI

Reminisce: Production Postmortem

The system scored 98.3% on direct single-session recall, then accumulated 77.2% noise across four months of production. Root-caused to a placeholder extractor marked "for testing," then retired.

98.3% peak on direct recall, 77.2% noise in production - Zenodo DOI 2026

Reminisce: A Cognitive Science-Inspired Memory Architecture for AI Agents

Architecture for persistent agent memory using keyword ranking and semantic consolidation. PostgreSQL + pgvector. Open source, MIT, 606 tests.

49.4-55.8% accuracy, ~81% precision on LongMemEvalS - Zenodo DOI 2026

DeadGraph: A Rights-Aware MCP Knowledge Base for Cultural Heritage Audio Collections

Rights-aware pipeline, 13 MCP tools, defense-in-depth hallucination prevention. 200-question benchmark with +60.1 point accuracy gain over raw LLM.

71.3% MCP-augmented vs 11.2% baseline - Hugging Face 2026

BMCPS v3.0 Standard

A 2025 specification for consistent MCP tool interfaces in blockchain servers. Frozen as a reference; MIT licensed, source on GitHub.

25 required tools - 238 automated tests

Operational Semantics

Technical blog documenting the full research journey. MCP development, agent orchestration, semantic memory, and standards.

50+ deep-dive posts

MCP at Scale

Production MCP server with 111 tools across 7 blockchain networks. Demonstrates MCP patterns for complex orchestration.

111 tools - 7 networks

Open Source Contributions

Contributor to Rectangle (30K-star macOS window manager) and Compositor (17K-star image editor for Mac). 16+ blockchain MCP servers built.

Built by one person.

Peak Summit Labs is founded and operated by Myron Koch - independent AI researcher, engineer, and former festival founder. Every product, every paper, and every line of infrastructure is built solo using AI-augmented engineering.

The name comes from the Peak Summit Groove and Dance Festival, a multi-venue music festival Myron founded and operated for over a decade. Same instinct, different domain: take isolated tools, find the undervalued space, build something bigger than the parts.
