Mark Askey

I’m Mark Askey, founder of 0REI Immutable Evidence Systems. I build at the intersection of autonomous AI, cryptographic evidence, and engineering accountability. My focus is turning powerful models into systems that can coordinate, retain useful memory, recover from failure, and produce work that stands up to independent scrutiny. My work spans 0REI, TremorFrost Bridge, Zero Search, and SAKUTEKI, connecting evidence infrastructure, agent communication, semantic retrieval, and autonomous orchestration. I’m especially interested in separating builders from checkers, preserving provenance across agent handoffs, and developing learning and recovery mechanisms that improve reliability without strangling throughput. On Hugging Face, I’m interested in open models, local inference on constrained hardware, reasoning, retrieval, and specialized models for engineering and evidence review. The question driving my work is simple: how far can a small team go when AI can do the work, another system can check it, and the evidence survives both?
