Firas Assaf (فراس عساف) is a Principal AI Governance Scientist, systems architect, author, and inventor of six patent applications filed with the Saudi Authority for Intellectual Property (SAIP), including two granted Fast Track examination. He is the Founder & CEO of MrF X Nexus Company LLC in Riyadh (Unified CR 7054581355) and MRF X OS LTD in London (UK Companies House 17063115).
His scientific and engineering work focuses on deterministic runtime governance for generative language models (Adam), cryptographic model-weight sealing, logit-level persona mixture recovery from text alone, mathematical formalization of graded trust and rehabilitation (The Merciful Isnad Protocol), null-model statistical testing of structural claims in classical Arabic texts, and edge bio-olfactory sensing (Shamim · X-Bio).

الصوتُ الساخن صوتٌ خافت: الحرارة وزنٌ خفيّ في مزج الشخصيات، واسترداد حصص المزج من النص وحده
Proves mathematically how sampling temperature acts as an implicit weight in logit-level persona mixtures and introduces a black-box calibration exam to recover mixture shares from generated text alone. Subject of patent application SA 1020268588.
اختبارات نموذج العدم لدعاوى بنيوية عن النص القرآني: نظم الحلقة والاشتقاق الأكبر، مع تدقيق للروابط المستخرجة آلياً
Establishes rigorous permutation and null-model statistical tests to evaluate structural claims (ring composition and root-permutation semantics) and audits false discovery rates in machine-mined lexical links.
جبرُ الإسناد الرحيم: نموذج ثقة مدرّج بردّ اعتبار وتحريم بنيوي لعدوى السمعة
Formalizes an open mathematical trust algebra inspired by classical Hadith isnad methodology, providing graded source verification, bounded rehabilitation, and structural immunity against reputation contagion in multi-agent networks.

Engineered Systems & Products
Designed by Firas Assaf to operate inside the deploying organization's own network with zero external cloud dependency during inference.
Model-agnostic runtime governance layer for LLMs. Fingerprints 29 weight files into a sealed identity, gates every prompt/response for policy and live evidence, and exports ed25519-signed evidence packs.
Source-backed Arabic knowledge engine powered by 15 deterministic verification tools and a local 32B Arabic model. Enforces declared abstention when ground-truth evidence is absent.
Edge air-quality and volatile-compound sensing unit using Mahalanobis D² early-warning distance on embedded hardware, verified across 359 automated firmware and logic tests.
Real-time low-latency voice dubbing engine converting live broadcast streams into natural, stress-controlled Arabic delivery without post-production delay.
Automated daily verification harness that re-runs every published technical benchmark and test suite each morning, storing signed regression certificates.
