Company at a glance

​
One-liner

SINT Labs is an AI research and engineering lab building the open-source governance protocol for autonomous systems — and the products and services that run on it.

​
One paragraph

SINT Labs builds the authorization layer for AI agents that act in the physical or economic world. Our SINT Protocol is an open-source capability-based governance standard with twelve transport bridges, four approval tiers, a SHA-256 hash-chained evidence ledger, and compliance mappings to IEC 62443, the EU AI Act, and the NIST AI RMF. We ship products on the protocol (Console, Avatars, Operators, CMO Operator — unified as SINT OS), and we deploy the full stack for enterprise clients through our Studio practice. Founded in 2024 by Illia Pashkov, headquartered in Los Angeles.

​
Topics we can speak on

  • Physical-AI safety and governance
  • Capability-based authorization for AI agents
  • Why model-level alignment isn’t a safety invariant (cross-model behavioral spread, ROSClaw findings)
  • EU AI Act compliance for autonomous systems
  • The evidence-ledger pattern for agent audit trails
  • Open protocol development and standards-body engagement
  • The gap between “the model decided” and “the action happened”

​
Topics we decline

  • Cryptocurrency price speculation
  • Generic “is AI dangerous” punditry
  • Other companies’ products (we don’t comment on competitors)

​
Key numbers

See facts for the canonical, up-to-date numbers:
  • 41 packages in the protocol monorepo
  • 1,772 tests passing
  • 12 transport bridges
  • 157-test conformance suite
  • v0.2 (April 2026)
  • Apache-2.0 code, CC BY 4.0 specification
  • p99 gateway latency under 3ms

Media assets

Logo files, architecture diagrams, and product screenshots: github.com/sint-ai/sint-brand-assets (repo under construction as of April 2026). Until the brand-assets repo is live, email [email protected] for high-resolution logos and assets.

​
Brand usage

“SINT Labs” should be written as two words, both capitalized. Do not use:
  • “Sint Labs” (lowercase “int”)
  • “SINT-Labs” (hyphen)
  • “SINTLabs” (no space)
Correct: SINT Labs. Product names:
  • SINT Protocol — the governance protocol
  • SINT OS — the runtime (note: “OS” is uppercase, no period)
  • SINT Console — the operator UI
  • SINT Avatars — the avatar product (plural, even when referring to single instance)
  • SINT Operators — the automation product
  • CMO Operator — the content product (no “SINT” prefix by convention)
  • SINT Studio — the services arm
