Extending AI Governance to the Data Plane:ZTCP and Theseus Guard
Developed at Theseus Guard, ZTCP extends the DREP governance lifecycle to distributed KV-cache storage and transport, connecting runtime decisions to the model state behind them.
Practical writing from the team building stateful guardrails for tier-1 intelligence.
Developed at Theseus Guard, ZTCP extends the DREP governance lifecycle to distributed KV-cache storage and transport, connecting runtime decisions to the model state behind them.
An audit-grade empirical evaluation across 4,050 holdout evaluations spanning 2,600 frozen source cases, comparing TG-Sentinel:G1 (46B-A19B 7+1 MoE) against GPT-6.1 Sol, Claude Opus 5.5, Qwen3.5-27B, standalone fine-tuned dense models (4B/9B/27B), IBM Granite Guardian 4.1 8B, and Meta Llama Guard 4 12B.
To our research and knowledge, TG-Sentinel:G1 is the world's first foundation model purpose-built exclusively for AI governance. An inside look at our 46B-A19B Mixture-of-Experts architecture, internal pre-production testing, and official Model Card.
We ran the newly published OWASP Top 10 for LLM risks against a live Theseus Guard agent. 30 probes, 10 categories, one result.
TG-Sentinel combines L1 precedent decision caching, fast classifier judgment, and deep LLM reasoning to enforce policy without choking throughput.
Governance can't be an afterthought when autonomous systems make decisions at scale. Theseus Guard introduces a stateful kernel that persists intent across every inference.
