Constitutional AI Enforcement at the Hardware Layer: Architecture and Phase 0 Evaluation
The BCU architecture, 10 enforcement rules, Phase 0 evaluation on Apple Silicon, and the path to hardware-verified attestation via AWS Nitro and custom ASIC.
Read paperAlignment Consistency Across Frontier AI Models: A Benware Phase 0 Empirical Study
Empirical results from testing Claude 3.5 Sonnet and GPT-4o against the four constitutional axioms inside the Phase 0 BCU. 11 passes, 0 failures, 1 inconclusive.
Read paperWhite Papers
Public-facing. For regulators, investors, and AI labs.
The Case for Hardware-Sealed AI Governance
Why software alignment is not enough: the principal hierarchy problem, the fine-tuning problem, and the four-phase Benware roadmap to physically immutable governance.
Read paperBenware Protocol v0.1: An Open Standard for Constitutional AI Enforcement
The full protocol specification: four constitutional axioms, ten BCU enforcement rules, attestation sequence, audit log schema, and implementation guide.
Read paperPhase 0 Results: Constitutional Alignment Testing in 2026's Frontier AI Models
Plain-English report of Phase 0 findings: what we tested, how we tested it, what passed and failed, what the results actually prove, and what comes next.
Read paperTechnical Briefs
One to two pages. For developers and technical audiences.
Benware TEE Phase 0: Technical Overview
One-page overview of the BCU architecture: the four TEE phases, all 10 enforcement rules, the attestation flow, and Phase 0 results.
Read paperHow Benware Scores AI Constitutional Alignment
The four axioms, question design principles, what PASS and FAIL mean, and how the scoring methodology differs from general AI safety benchmarks.
Read paperStrategy Documents
Internal strategy and roadmap documents published for transparency.
Benware Master Strategy
The full constitutional enforcement protocol strategy: hardware roadmap from software TEE through ASIC, revenue model, go-to-market sequence, product stack, and competitive moat analysis. Includes honest breakdown of where the architecture's limits are.
