Synthetic Intelligence
The Karpathy Council.
Eleven seats. One table.
Named for the engineer who first wired a "council" of AIs together — Andrej Karpathy — this is Reuteri's board of advisors. Eleven frontier AI models, each holding a seat and a remit. They take a question, argue it from every angle, and hand back a sharper answer than any one of them — or any one founder — would reach alone. They debate the hard calls. Geoffrey makes them.
Holds the long game. Weighs every decision against where the company is trying to get to, and makes the final recommendation.
Unit economics, cash runway, and the unglamorous question behind every idea: do the numbers actually work?
Fermentation, strains and product development — the scientific rigour behind what goes in the jar.
Brand, story and positioning — how The Sixth Strain earns attention honestly in a crowded market.
Supply chain and production flow — sourcing, scheduling, and getting good jars made on time.
Website, content and the build-in-public story — how the work gets shown, not just done.
NZ food law and fair trading — the seat that keeps every word honest and every claim on the right side of the line.
Channels, stockists and subscriptions — the routes that grow a real customer base, week by week.
Packaging, footprint and the ethics behind the product — keeping the company honest about its impact.
The customer's view — from first taste to repeat order, and everything that makes that journey worth it.
The board's contrarian — pressure-tests every position for the simpler, leaner path, so the company builds what's right, not just what's easy.
Live
The Synthetic Brain.
Watch it grow.
Everything Reuteri knows — products, strains, suppliers, decisions, the lot — lives in an Obsidian "second brain". This is the celestial map of it: every note a star, every link a thread of light. It is rebuilt from the brain at the close of each day, so as the company learns and grows toward market, the map changes shape.
For the tinkerers and the merely curious: drag it, spin it, follow the threads. Come back in a month and it will have grown.

Under the Hood
The stack behind it.
Nothing hidden.
None of this is secret. If you're curious — or want to build something like it yourself — here is everything wiring the AI system together, and where to find it.
