Part 2/12:
The creator is developing an open-source project dubbed "Raven"—a prototype for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which he prefers to label "Artificial Global Intelligence" to better reflect its broad ambitions. Unlike conventional AI, Raven is designed to operate independently of continuous external input, capable of thinking and reasoning based on internal data structures built around a cognition-first paradigm.
This approach emphasizes that all knowledge—memories, experiences, knowledge graphs—resides within the system as data. This data-centric architecture underpins Raven's capacity for episodic (personalized, event-specific) and declarative (factual) memories, stored efficiently using vector databases for semantic search.
