ALSoftworks — Independent research & software

AI research and products that find the weak spots first

AI is changing how systems are attacked and defended. ALSoftworks is an independent company building the tools to stay ahead of it, and to check the AI you rely on.

Every answer leaves a trace.

Headers and model names can say anything. Token counts, timing and behaviour are much harder to fake, and they're what Unmask.AI reads.

Tokenizer fingerprint

Calibrated probes, counted against the claimed model's tokenizer.

Hidden instructions

Tokens billed ahead of your first message.

+0

On the wire

First token after 0 ms, then bursts of about nine.

Doesn't match model-a-large. The token counts fit another model family, about 212 tokens of instructions sit in front of every request, and the stream looks relayed.

Illustration. The endpoint and the numbers are examples.

Small team. Careful work.

We started ALSoftworks because the tools people rely on to understand AI systems were lagging behind the systems themselves.

More about us

What we work on

Model verification

Methods for checking that an AI system is the one it claims to be, and that it behaves the way it was described.

Transparent infrastructure

Tools that show what happens between a request and the answer: gateways, routing and instructions you can't see.

Reproducible results

Tests anyone can rerun and get the same answer, so findings can be checked instead of taken on trust.
