Limiting Factor Ships as an Installable App with Push
Limiting Factor now installs to the home screen on Android and iOS as a progressive web app, with a shareable install landing page at app.projectaesir.com/get-app. Daily check-in reminders are delivered by consent-gated web push — no app store, no separate download.
Limiting Factor Opens to Individual Athletes
The platform no longer requires a unit. Individual athletes preparing on their own get an adaptive plan that resolves against a stated goal and date, with progress projection, injury- and equipment-aware programming, safety screening before load is prescribed, and scheduling keyed to the athlete's own timezone. Unit-managed athletes and solo athletes now run on the same engine.
Limiting Factor Completes the Staff Operating Layer
A twelve-phase build closed out the coaching side: structured test standards with an automated scorer, score-versus-gate status surfaced everywhere, cohort readiness boards keyed to a selection date, an explicit caseload model with coach triage, purpose-built Assistant Coach and Military Training Leader roles, and a selection-outcome ledger that closes the loop between what an athlete was programmed and how they actually fared at selection.
MIMIR Moves to an Open-Weights Foundation
MIMIR's training plan moved from a from-scratch architecture to a permissively-licensed open-weights base (Apache-2.0 Qwen3) that AESIR downloads, adapts and holds rather than rents from a vendor API, which keeps air-gapped deployment on the table. A 0.6B proof-of-concept merge validated the pipeline; a larger continued-pretraining run is planned but not yet scheduled.
Limiting Factor Adds Delta Selection Pipeline
The Limiting Factor platform now serves a 24-week Delta selection preparation program built from MTI methodology and USARIEM research. Includes progressive ruck volume to 50 mi/week, a six-day simulation block, and integrated GTG calisthenics protocol.
SINDRI Submits First Bug-Bounty Reports Across Five Programs
In April–May 2026 SINDRI's autonomous orchestrator submitted six vulnerability reports across five enterprise programs (GitLab, Ring, Marriott, 8x8, New Relic). No bounties have been awarded. Engagement activity has since paused while the deep-engagement pipeline is reworked.
MIMIR Prototype Crosses 200M Tokens
A from-scratch 100M-parameter MIMIR prototype passed 200M training tokens on an AESIR-assembled corpus covering SOF selection science, combat swimming, cybersecurity TTPs, and underwater engineering, trained on a single laptop GPU.
BIFROST Bench Prototype Procurement
BIFROST architecture is complete and the bench prototype has entered procurement. Targeting AFRL / AFWERX SBIR Phase II for hardware development funding. Export-control classification pending.
Limiting Factor Reaches Active-Duty Users
The Limiting Factor platform is live and serving active-duty military personnel preparing for SOF selection across 13+ pipelines including BUD/S, SFAS, MARSOC A&S, RASP, PJ/CCT, and Delta. Accessible at app.projectaesir.com.
AESIR Founded
AESIR is founded as a defense-technology and AI company. Five interconnected systems planned: BIFROST, HEIMDALL, SINDRI, MIMIR, and LIMITING FACTOR. Each named for a figure in Norse mythology corresponding to its operational function.
