Sovereign. Your money never answers to us.

An autonomous trader that works your own account, with your own AI, on your own machine, and gets sharper with every trade it makes. Optimized for the Claude family of models.

A handspike was the lever bar of the age of sail — worked at the capstan to haul the anchor, and at the gun carriage to lay the cannon on target. One person moving something far too heavy by hand, with precision. That is the whole company in one tool: leverage and aim.

Why a harness

Handed real money, every frontier model in a public study lost it.

In a 57-day public study, six frontier models were each given $10,000 of real capital on a live market venue. All six lost money — down between 16.0% and 30.8% — and the amount of research they did had no correlation with their results. Our reading of that result: the mind alone is not the product. The mind alone is an accident waiting to happen.

Sovereign is the discipline around it:

It can't bet the farm. Every position is protected, and its limits hold even when the AI is wrong.
It keeps watch when the AI can't. If the mind goes quiet mid-trade, your positions are still looked after.
It tells you the truth. Your deposits never dress up as gains, and no fee is hidden.
It learns from its own mistakes. Every lesson stays with your Sovereign, so it gets better the longer it runs.
Nothing goes live without you. You decide when real money is in play.

What sovereignty means here

Every part that matters is owned by you.

Your broker

Your own account at a supported API broker. We never hold funds, keys, or orders.

Your model

Your own AI subscription or API key. Any frontier model; optimized for the Claude family.

Your server

Deploys into your own cloud. Your credentials live there. You can revoke us in one click.

Your memory

The experience your trader accumulates is yours. A copied harness is a newborn; yours is a veteran.

There is no hosted platform, no central login, no customer key vault — deliberately. A vendor who cannot touch your money is a vendor you never have to trust with it.

Built in the open, scars first

Sovereign has been running live — with the founder's own capital, on the founder's own infrastructure — since mid-2026. We publish the failures, because every one of them made Sovereign safer.

FIELD REPORT

Eleven ways my autonomous agent failed in production — ten weeks of live operation with real money at stake, eleven real failures, and what each one means for an owner now. Nobody attacked the agent. It was blinded by a billing lapse, fed by a data pipe that had been dead for weeks, and reported its own costs 3× too high for months.

Status

Sovereign is not for sale yet. It is in live trials on the founder's own money, and it stays there until its record earns the next step. When it ships, it ships paper-first; real money comes only once it has earned it.

Follow the build — honest updates, failures included, and first word when it opens up. Or write to us directly; if you run autonomous agents with real-world blast radius and want the safety engineering sooner, that is the work we take on today.
