PureTensor Sentinel — Autonomic SRE

Infrastructure that diagnoses, heals, and remembers.

Sentinel is an autonomic triage and remediation layer for production systems. It watches every signal, reasons about failures, applies fixes — and commits each fix as a permanent immunity. Your engineers stop being paged for problems the system already knows how to solve.

The gap in production ops

Observability told you something broke. It didn't tell you what to do.

Modern infrastructure generates more signal than humans can triage. Auto-remediation tools react to known patterns. Neither remembers. The cost compounds every quarter.

Engineers are paged at 03:00 to apply a fix the system already knew about the last three times it happened. Every fix lives in chat scrollback, a closed ticket, an engineer's head. Tribal memory does not survive turnover.

System architecture

Three tiers. One closed loop. Persistent memory.

Sentinel separates the work by tempo: continuous low-cost triage scans every signal, escalates to a reasoning core only when the pattern is novel, and commits each successful remediation as an antibody — a permanent immunity recalled by the triage tier next time.

Tier 1 · Triage

Always on

Sub-second scan of every signal in the production telemetry stream. Recalls antibodies, applies known remediations. Escalates only when the pattern is genuinely novel.

Tier 2 · Reasoning

Invoked on novelty

Multi-source diagnosis across logs, metrics, configs, and code. Proposes a remediation plan, verifies it in a sandbox, applies it — and commits the resulting antibody.

Tier 3 · Antibody DB

The persistent corpus

Every successful remediation becomes an immunity recalled by Tier 1 on the next occurrence. The system gets faster and cheaper every quarter.

Universal by design

One system. Any infrastructure.

Point Sentinel at a complex legacy environment nobody fully understands anymore, and within hours it is diagnosing, remediating, and learning the local terrain.

It ships with an operational corpus distilled from years of production infrastructure work — generic antibodies for the failures that recur across most environments. Once deployed, it specialises: your config patterns, your failure modes, the knowledge that lives in your senior engineers' heads. The generic baseline becomes a local immunity, custom to your stack.

Ships with a corpus

Arrives pre-loaded with a substantial antibody database covering the failure classes that recur across most production environments. It does not start from zero and does not require months of supervised learning before producing value.

Specialises on contact

Within the first weeks of deployment, Sentinel learns your specific stack: your config patterns, your failure modes, your tribal knowledge. The generic baseline becomes a specialised local corpus.

Works on what you have

No need to migrate, modernise, or rewrite anything before deployment. Legacy systems, undocumented services, post-acquisition estates nobody owns anymore — Sentinel learns them as they are.

The differentiator

Every fix becomes a permanent immunity.

Observability vendors show you what broke. Auto-remediation vendors react to a fixed playbook. Sentinel's antibody database is the moat — a growing corpus of fingerprinted failures, verified remediations, and recall triggers that compounds with every incident.

Stale RBD lock blocking pod startup

Triggered when a pod fails to mount a Ceph RBD volume because the previous mounter died without releasing the lock. Sentinel verifies no live mounter, releases the lock, retries the mount.

Frontier models for reasoning. Sovereign compute for control.

Sentinel runs against any production stack — Kubernetes, bare metal, hybrid. The reasoning core is hyperscaler-portable. The triage tier runs on commodity inference, including local vLLM for air-gapped deployments.

Sovereign-capable. Sentinel can run entirely on customer-owned compute. The reasoning core can be swapped to a local model for regulated, air-gapped, or data-residency-constrained environments. No mandatory egress to a hyperscaler.

Continuous operation since 2026-05-18. Tier 1 scans 4.2M signals a day. Median escalation rate to Tier 2: 0.018%. Median antibody recall hit-rate on familiar patterns: 91.3%.

What's next

Internal validation first. Design partners next.

A managed offering follows once the antibody corpus is portable across customer infrastructures.

Now · in production

V2 internal — PureTensor fleet

Sentinel runs autonomically across the Trinity cluster: Kubernetes, Ceph, bare-metal compute, monitoring tier. The antibody corpus accrues from real operational incidents.

Q3 2026

Design-partner pilot

Selective onboarding of three operational design partners running Kubernetes at meaningful scale. Co-engineered antibody portability, shared corpus modes, customer-specific safety policies, and a tight feedback loop on the human-in-the-loop boundary.

2027

Managed Sentinel

Generally available as a managed control plane. Bring-your-own-cloud or fully managed. Antibody corpus federation with cryptographic provenance. Per-incident pricing.
