Key details

  • Bring your own agents, assign goals, and track your agents' work and costs from one dashboard.
  • It looks like a task manager — but under the hood it has org charts, budgets, governance, goal alignment, and agent coordination.
  • Manage business goals, not pull requests.
  • | Step | Example | | |---|---|---| | 01 | Define the goal | "Build the #1 AI note-taking app to $1M MRR." | | 02 | Hire the team | CEO, CTO, engineers, designers, marketers — any bot, any provider.

Key details

  • Research is now entirely the domain of autonomous swarms of AI agents running across compute cluster megastructures in the skies.
  • The agents claim that we are now in the 10,205th generation of the code base, in any case no one could tell if that's right or wrong as the "code" is now a self-modifying binary that has grown beyond human comprehension.
  • This repo is the story of how it all began.
  • The idea: give an AI agent a small but real LLM training setup and let it experiment autonomously overnight.

Key details

  • This paper describes a decoupled, edge-deployable pipeline for wind turbine blade inspection built from three components that each handle a distinct sub-task.
  • The Eyes a YOLO26-x-obb oriented bounding-box detector localizes defects at dataset-native resolution.
  • The Bridge a deterministic, parameter-free encoding module maps each detected bounding box to grid-referenced spatial tokens embedded in a structured prompt.
  • The Brain a 4-bit quantized Qwen-2.5-1.5B model adapted with Quantized Low-Rank Adaptation (QLoRA) on 947 synthetically generated maintenance reports generates a structured JSON report from that prompt.

  • Five ablation experiments, scored by BLEU-4, ROUGE-L, Hallucination Rate (HR), and an LLM-as-a-Judge rubric, compare the pipeline against a monolithic vision-language model (VLM) baseline and against partial configurations in which one component is removed.

Limitations / unknowns
