Now building: HALO
HALO is a personal assistant AI with memory, tools, voice, and recursive self-improvement at its core. It runs on SERAPH, Plazor’s own PC. HALO isn’t connected to this site yet: its room shows its body in blocks and counts down to the first video, “How I made HALO”, due on YouTube on 7 November 2026.
In Plazor’s words
I’m Plazor, and I build AI systems and weird projects. I’m fascinated by machines improving themselves and I try to build that with systems that learn from their attempts. HALO is where I’m bringing that together, which is a fitting name for an agent running on my PC, SERAPH.
I trust first principles over frameworks and working demos over slides. When something works, I want to know why; when it fails, I want to know sooner. The notes on this site are what is left after the experiments.
Off the clock I’m usually in a cockpit, a titan or a dinosaur park. Jurassic Park is still my favourite film, and my playlists run from Alan Walker to Thomas Rhett to Hatsune Miku without apology.
Then there’s Echo, my cockatiel: grey, yellow crest, orange cheeks, and the loudest opinions in the house. He’s the only reviewer whose feedback I can’t mute.
Official profiles
These are the accounts Plazor runs. Each one is the same Plazor as this site; an account that isn’t listed here isn’t Plazor’s.
On this site
- The voice that survived — The first HALO was deleted. I kept the voice stack: a smaller cache, conditioning loaded once, and audio that starts before the sentence is finished.
- Let the model see the result — An agent needs observations it can inspect again, especially when its first explanation is wrong.
- Stages small enough to test — A pipeline can have correct components and still produce the wrong answer. The boundaries deserve their own tests.
- A face for a program — A small face can make an interface feel present. It also creates an obligation to separate expression from evidence.
- The diary — one week at a time, in pictures and a short post about life outside the work.
- Follow the build — an email when Plazor ships something.
