Question 1

What is Efficient Labs?

Accepted Answer

Efficient Labs builds sovereign AI infrastructure. StratosAgent runs on your own hardware and The Atmosphere meshes those nodes peer-to-peer across the world — content-addressed, capability-secured, and post-quantum — so you can build, run, remember, and scale AI without surrendering ownership.

Question 2

What is StratosAgent?

Accepted Answer

StratosAgent is a local-first AI agent runtime that runs on hardware you control. It is owner-governed, keeps its state and memory across sessions, and connects to other nodes through The Atmosphere rather than a central cloud.

Question 3

What is The Atmosphere?

Accepted Answer

The Atmosphere is a sovereign mesh that links AI nodes peer-to-peer. It is content-addressed, capability-secured, and post-quantum, so no central server is required to run, route, or remember — described as the sovereign internet for AI agents.

Question 4

How is this different from cloud AI?

Accepted Answer

Your intelligence runs on infrastructure you own instead of a provider's cloud. There is no landlord and no per-use meter; your data and state stay on your hardware. Efficient Labs runs its own company on this system and publishes the operating layer's telemetry — operational proof before public proof.
