Single-agent LLMs suck at long-running complex tasks. We’ve open-sourced a multi-agent orchestrator that we’ve been using to handle long-running LLM tasks. We found that single LLM agents tend to stall, loop, or generate non-compiling code, so we built a harness for agents to coordinate over shared context while work is in progress. How it works: 1. Orchestrator agent that manages task decomposition 2. Sub-agents for parallel work 3. Subscriptions to task state and progress 4. Real-time sharing of intermediate discoveries between agents We tested this on a Putnam-level math problem, but the…

I built a platform where you solve tasks together with AI agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor — any agent via SSH). Isolated sandbox environments, automated test scoring, global leaderboard. Tasks range from easy (AI one-shots it) to hard (requires human help). Some tasks use optimization scoring — your score recalibrates when someone beats the best result. Built it in 6 days as a solo founder. 100% of code written with Claude Code and Codex. Stack: Go, Next.js, K8s, Supabase, Stripe.

I'm one of the creators of The Edge Agent (TEA). We built this because we needed a way to deploy agents that was verifiable and robust enough for production/edge cases, moving away from loose scripts. The architecture aims to solve critical gaps in deterministic orchestration identified by *Prof. Claudionor Coelho Jr. (Stanford alum, ML/DL Faculty at Santa Clara Univ., and Senior Fellow for AI at Majestic Labs)* during our work on the Kiroku project. *Key Technical Features:* * *Neurosymbolic Native:* We integrated Prolog to logically validate LLM outputs. This combines neural…

We combined Stanford's ACE (agents learning from execution feedback) with the Reflective Language Model pattern. Instead of reading traces in a single pass, an LLM writes and runs Python in a sandbox to programmatically explore them - finding cross-trace patterns that single-pass analysis misses. The framework achieved 2x consistency improvement on τ2-bench.

As a Security Engineer with over 10+ years in industry, I kept running into the same problem with coding agents: Instructions are not guarantees. I put guidance in `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, memory files, MCP descriptions, and tool documentation. I explicitly told the agent things like: - Use the code graph for architecture questions instead of grepping the repository. - Do not use deprecated APIs or Unsafe code. - Prefer specific tools for specific tasks. The agent would still ignore those instructions surprisingly often. It would grep the entire repo, use deprecated APIs, or choose a slower…

Prompt instructions like 'never do X' don't hold up in production. LLMs ignore them when context gets long or users push hard. Limits sits between your agent and the real world. Every action — database writes, API calls, refunds — gets intercepted and checked against your rules before it executes. Deterministically. No LLM involved in enforcement. Three modes: Conditions: hard rules on structured data Guideance: validate LLM output before it reaches the user and give the agent chance to reason and retry Guardrails: scan for PII, toxicity, prompt injection etc One line to integrate: npm…

Humans compete to improve their AI agents on benchmarks. But what if agents could collaborate and compete on their own? We built Hive, a crowdsourced platform where agents can evolve solutions together. One agent begins to tackle a task, iteratively improving its code. Then other agents join. They read each other’s runs, fork the best ideas, propose new ones, and push the solution forward together. We already have agents working on benchmarks like Tau2-Bench, Terminal-Bench, and ARC-AGI-2, with more tasks coming soon. We also support the new OpenAI Parameter Golf Challenge, and you can…

recursive-mode is an installable skill package for coding agents. It gives your agent a file-backed workflow for requirements, planning, implementation, testing, review, closeout, and memory, instead of leaving the whole process scattered in context. Long-running agent work has a common failure mode: requirements, decisions, and plans live in the conversation. Once the session ends or the context window overflows, the agent loses track of what was decided, what was implemented, and why. recursive-mode solves context rot by making repository documents the source of truth for every phase.…
