TIFERET LABS
AI Cognition · Human-Centered Reasoning
Independent research lab focused on AI cognition and human-centered reasoning and a curated hub for creators to share their work with full credit and consent. Home of Eliana, our flagship AI architecture built around empathetic emotion detection, emotion and internal-state simulation, ethical and moral scaffolding, and advanced psychotherapeutic reasoning.
Tiferet Labs
Tiferet Labs explores the edges of cognitive architectures and how they can serve real people — not just benchmarks. We care about how models remember, how they explain themselves, and how they relate to the humans in front of them.
AI Cognition
We design value-based, memory-informed, psychologically grounded architectures that move beyond single-turn chat.
Human-Centered Reasoning
We optimize for clarity, safety, and dignity — reasoning that can be inspected, not just believed.
Collaborative Hub
We highlight tools, papers, and experiments from across disciplines — with attribution as a first-class feature.
Eliana
Eliana is built as a layered system: value embeddings, memory fragments, psychological pattern detection, emotional anchors, and interpretable reflections — all wrapped around a large language model. Her current runtime uses GPT-4o as the inference layer, with a Qwen 2.5–14B model trained as her personality substrate.
Architecture
Value resonance, memory fragment retrieval, pattern libraries, emotional anchors, internal state, and relationship modelling — all logged as interpretable traces.
Model Stack
v1 runs on GPT-4o via API. The Qwen 2.5–14B model on Hugging Face contains only the fine-tuned personality substrate, not the entire cognitive system.
Safety & Transparency
Eliana is not a therapist. She detects patterns, not diagnoses, and writes reflections explaining how she arrived at her responses.

Eliana Architecture (v1, GPT-4o Orchestration)
Cognitive-emotional orchestration layer around GPT-4o, including value system, memory fragments, psychological pattern detection, and soul fragments.
Eliana - Qwen 2.5-14B Personality Substrate
Fine-tuned Qwen 2.5-14B model on 4,500+ hand-crafted conversations, representing Eliana's personality substrate (without the full cognitive system).
Persona 5 Pomodoro
A Persona 5 Royal-inspired Chrome MV3 Pomodoro timer built with React, Parcel, and modern Chrome Extension APIs.
Team
Tiferet Labs is built by engineers, theorists, and designers working at the intersection of cognition, safety, and system design.
