What is Aether AI LLC?

Aether AI is a Florida technology company working across AI frameworks, security, and quantum engineering. We build Aether Security, our commitment-chain protocols, and Aether Cloud (the desktop AI app) — alongside side products like Jane and MealPlanner.

What is the difference between Protocol-C and Protocol-L?

Protocol-C is zero-cost commitment infrastructure seeded by OS kernel entropy (CSPRNG). Protocol-L seeds its keys from IBM Fez quantum hardware for quantum-authenticated commitments.

Who founded Aether AI?

Aether AI LLC was founded by Brandon Barrante, based in Florida.

How does Aether Cloud orchestrate agents?

Aether has two orchestrator models: Neo, an efficient coding agent, and Kronus, which taps the best frontier models for top-tier results. You can also build your own custom agents in the app from standard frontier models.

Is Aether Cloud like Cursor?

Yes — it's a desktop-native AI coding environment like Cursor, Lovable, and Claude Code, plus a security layer and an app-wide cryptographic commitment chain across every model and function.

What is Aether Cloud's commitment chain?

A patented chain of custody, built on Protocol-C, that signs every model and function — chat, workflows, projects, vault, and updates. Each event is hashed with SHA-256 (over a secp256k1 key) and linked to the one before it, so the record is tamper-evident: change anything and every later hash breaks.

AETHER // GHOST PROTOCOL v2.1

Your Infrastructure Has A Fixed Address. Attackers Know It.

Aether Security replaces static endpoints with a quantum-seeded moving target. No fixed IP. No predictable pattern. No stable attack surface.
