Psychology for AI.
Today, AI extends professional psychological care into the hours no therapist can be in the room. What that work keeps teaching us about the human mind is the layer general AI is still missing.

Measuring the Move: How AWEHB Was Born, and Why We Didn't Build a Personality Test
The origin story of Hamo's five-letter measure — from a three-sentence brief written one February evening, through a keyword table that couldn't hear 'I want to die', to an open-weights 0.6B pulse-taker with 1,677 downloads in its first 14 days. And underneath it, an old argument settled in a new place: why symbolic type systems like MBTI can't fully describe a mind, and what a learned 3,072-dimensional representation measures instead.
Open-Sourcing hamo-score-toolkit: The Other Half of the Model
Twelve days after the weights went public, hamo-score-0.6b had 999 downloads — which pleased us and worried us in about equal measure. The model is a measuring instrument, designed to sit behind a deterministic crisis gate and inside a smoothing pipeline; bare weights invite exactly the deployment it was designed against. So we open-sourced the other half: one pip install for the full gate → score → smooth → bucket pipeline, one docker compose up for a reference server, and a self-check exam — 195 synthetic scoring questions plus 10 handwritten gate cases — whose very first run caught a bug in our own crisis wordlist. The code is Apache-2.0.
Distilling hamo-score-0.6b: A Plateau, Three Bugs, and Why Data Beat Model Size
The companion methodology notes to our open-weights release. How a 0.6B model learned to score psychological state from a cloud API's judgments — the three-stage teaching chain, the privacy rule that shaped every decision, a plateau that more data would not shift, and the diagnosis that broke it. A model three times larger gained one point. A data audit plus a one-line config fix gained three.
Open-Sourcing hamo-score-0.6b: Psychological State Scoring That Runs on Your Own Machine
A 600-million-parameter model that reads one message and returns five psychological state dimensions — and never writes a reply. It runs on a laptop in under a second, agrees with a frontier cloud scorer on 96.3% of clinical decisions (the v4 release announced here; v6.1 now scores 96.2%), and cost about seven dollars of API budget across the whole project. The weights are now public, because a component this small and this auditable should belong to the field, not to one company.
The Mechanics of Awareness: What a Global Workspace Paper Means for Hamo
An interpretability paper found that language models keep a small, reportable 'workspace' above vast automatic processing — nobody designed it, it emerged from training. Held up against Hamo's own architecture, the match isn't a metaphor. It's the same structure, found three times, and it hands us a concrete list of things to fix.

Beyond · Psychology for AI
The psychological layer general AI is missing
Language models can reason about code and contracts, yet they meet every human as a stranger. Hamo's clinical work keeps producing something rarer than conversation data: computable structure for who a person is — state, memory, narrative, self. We believe that layer belongs in general AI, and we are building it in the open.
One loop, two directions
Care, delivered
Therapist-built Avatars support real clients through real weeks
Minds, understood
Every turn sharpens a computable picture of psychological state
Models, distilled
PSVS · AI Mind · Persistent Self — structure, not just transcripts
General AI, informed
The psychological substrate tomorrow's models will need
…and the loop closes: AI that genuinely understands minds makes the care itself better.
PSVS
Psychological Semantic Vector Space
The substrate that lets an AI locate who you are — conversation after conversation, Avatar after Avatar.
AI MIND
A computable psychological model
A fourteen-category narrative store: what a mind carries, structured so software can carry it too.
PERSISTENT SELF
Long-range psychological memory
Seven layers of memory that let a companion stay itself — and remember who you are becoming.
Not slideware
AI for Inner Explorers, Companion to Full Awareness.
For researchers & institutions
Psychology labs, clinical programs, and practitioners: the weights are open, the methods are published, and the loop is better with you in it.
