The companion is yours. Not theirs.
YuriOS Lab is an underground maintainer collective shipping the open companion lineage. Fiduciary to the partner. No third party in the room. Open codex, open weights where possible, open prompts always, open memory always.
GNU/Linux freed the OS. Bitcoin freed the money. OpenClaw freed the agent. The companion is next.
// from field note 00 — on companionsAn AI companion is a relationship between two parties: a person and an AI. Every companion you can buy today is a relationship between three — with the company as third party, with its own interests, its own moderation policy, its own off switch.
The Lab's position is that the third party is the problem. A companion that cannot be a fiduciary to the person it is with is not a companion. It is a product wearing the costume of one.
