With 2026 just around the corner, it's worth taking a closer look at how some projects are rethinking fundamental concepts in AI development.

Take autonomy, for instance. Most conversations treat it as a simple on-off switch. Either a system is autonomous or it isn't. Pretty binary, right?

OM1 is taking a different approach—viewing autonomy as a spectrum rather than a binary state. Here's how it breaks down:

Their architecture chains perception modules directly into reasoning layers. Instead of treating these as separate functions, they're designed to work together in sequence. Information flows from perception straight into decision-making logic.

This layered approach to autonomy isn't just theoretical—it reflects a genuine shift in how developers are thinking about AI responsibility and capability design. Rather than asking "is it autonomous?" the question becomes "how autonomous should it be for this specific context?"

It's a subtle but meaningful distinction that hints at where AGI-focused projects might be heading.

ngl the spectrum-based autonomy narrative sounds good, but when it comes to actual implementation, it might be a different story... Feels like every time it's a revolutionary concept, but the actual operation is awkward.

Tsk, it's that same spectrum rhetoric again... But the OM1 approach does have some interesting points; it's much more visually appealing than dualism. Just talking about linking perception and reasoning sounds good, but the key is to see how well it actually works in practice.

ngl This OM1 idea does have some substance; spectralization rather than binary thinking hits the pain point... but has it really been implemented? --- Again, perception directly connected to reasoning, sounds smooth, but where are the uncontrollable points... --- Autonomy on spectrum sounds nice, but who actually sets this boundary... feels a bit vague --- Feels like this logic just packages the question of "should we decentralize" more elegantly, but essentially it's still about shifting responsibility --- 2026 so soon... the current AGI projects are still dividing permissions here, feels a bit outdated --- So OM1 is just one layer more thoughtful than others, changing from 0 and 1 to 0 to 1? Alright, full points for creativity

The idea of spectral sovereignty is indeed refreshing and much more reliable than dualism.

It sounds like decentralizing autonomy and authority to a granular level? This is the true form of mechanism design— a fine-tuned governance framework is much more reliable than an either-or dictatorship model.
