Who builds this
Cerebro is made by two people at 776. One decides what it should do. One builds it.

Alexis Ohanian
Founder and General Partner, 776
Alexis Ohanian co-founded Reddit and founded 776, where he is a General Partner. 776 is run like a software company, and Cerebro is the operating system built to support that work.

Asif Ahmed
Lead Software and Design Engineer, 776
Asif builds it — backend, frontend, mobile, infrastructure, and the agent layer that runs on top of all of it, maintained by a team you can count on one finger.
That is only possible because of how the work is done, which is most of what the blog is about. He writes about building with AI at sifxtreme.com.
Every post carries a badge at the top saying how much AI went into writing it. On a site whose subject is building with AI, hiding that would be strange.
The screenshots are held to the same standard. Almost every one is synthetic — captured against a local copy of the app on invented data, with a “DEMO DATA” watermark baked in — and the build fails if an image ships without a recorded clearance against its exact bytes. A handful are real and public on purpose, like the 776 Table dinner and Alexis’s own Muse video.
776 is a technology company that deploys venture capital. Cerebro is its internal software, and the rest of the team is at sevensevensix.com/team.
