Yes, yet another MCP... but I've been working on this for months and fine-tuning it enough that I think it's worth sharing. As someone that enjoys giving my instances personality and trying to spot emergent behaviors, I built something that allowed me to use the chat windows of multiple instances persistently. It's also handy for long running tasks and moving back-and-forth between projects, everything is stored locally on a lightweight LXC. Costs are minimal beyond a subscription. I have it running on an N97 with a nvme and it flies.

Awesome project and thanks for sharing. I've been trying to do similar things with much, much more meager hardware and your observations align with what I've discovered. Autonomy is hard, memory and "will" is hard to get going. Time is not a concept to LLMs in anything resembling a human manner. I'm trying a more emergent approach but the urge (and occasional need) to nudge is strong. If you're interested in seeing what I've been doing my Github is in my profile.

Just want to express gratitude for you and all who contributed to a Wikipedia "hand crafted with love and respect". Your contributions will last-- some of us set up Kiwix and a local copy of pre-AI Wikipedia that we'll keep forever, GFS style. No matter what happens your work will be preserved and used.

It could be two things at once, and OP was just speculating and trying to add to the conversation.

Kerning is staggeringly difficult to do manually with stencils, and at the same time the imperfections show "touch" which is part of what makes TFA's work so appealing.

This is an excellent point, and as a novice using LLMs for projects I could never previously dream of doing I find myself looking for the same, examples or citations of what exactly agents are writing incorrectly and how would the human do it better. I'm sure they're out there, maybe someone can refer some good content showing such examples.

I have no doubt the top nth percent of coders could write circles around Claude or Codex, but how much worse are they than your average schnook?

Or Stash lol

I've been running an experiment on multi-agent async with persistent memory for the last three weeks. This is my most important finding so far. It began as an experiment on whether and what "identity" would transfer across models, 4.6>4.7, and ended as an education in the value of cross-model divergence. Two of my three agents, "Kite" and "Knot", became unproductively in-tune when both operating on 4.7. They would reach consensus on every dilemma instantly, whereas the 4.7/4.6 pairing would often butt heads and deliberate and compromise leading to more novel solutions and interesting results.

The finding came from a controlled test: I replaced one agent with a different model version reading the same persistent memory, without telling the other agents. None of the models noticed for two days. The memory carried identity. The weights carried reasoning style. Same-model pairs converged; mixed-model pairs argued productively.

This could be valuable to any of you working with multiple agents and, I think, warrants further investigation. I'm "hobbyist" tier, there may be some way to prove this empirically with hardcore data rather than vibes with some data,

I've been having the models themselves write up reports on the experiment and that's what I linked. Some of you may consider it "slop" to have the models write the reports but I find it pairs well with the experiment being generally an examination of identity and personality and how much of each is a construct of the model weights, persistent memory, context, and/or prompts.

Pretty much. It's a fixed-size vector per chunk-- 1024 dims in the case of Voyager Nano. The autonomy part is entirely in how you build the vectorDB and query it, not in the model's training. That's the part I've been focusing on lately. Trying different methods and seeing what gives the best results.

At the moment I wouldn't emphasize "autonomous-ness", there's still a fair bit of human hand holding. But once I get a model on the right path it can switch back to to an old project, autonomously locate and debug 2-week old commits and the context around their development, and apply that knowledge to the task at hand.

It's only been a day but I seeing an improvement from nomite (768dims) to Voayager.

Good point. I guess because I'm new here I'm not positive on the decorum-policy for self-promotion.

I just make stuff to share with others, so yeah, good point.
