Most orchestration frameworks today still behave like fragile chains — they break when faced with contradictions, long-term memory, or dynamic routing. Neuron is a cognitive multi-agent architecture that thinks in circuits instead of chains. Multiple agents collaborate in parallel, adapt their pathways in real time, and keep persistent context across extended interactions. Key components Agents: Intake, Reasoning, Response, Memory Circuits: Dynamic routing instead of linear chaining Memory: Episodic + contextual persistence Monitoring: Full reasoning traces for observability Why it matters…

Hey HN, I've been working on an open-source framework for creating AI agents that evolve, communicate, and collaborate to solve complex tasks. The Evolving Agents Framework allows agents to: Reuse, evolve, or create new agents dynamically based on semantic similarity Communicate and delegate tasks to other specialized agents Continuously improve by learning from past executions Define workflows in YAML, making it easy to orchestrate agent interactions Search for relevant tools and agents using OpenAI embeddings Support multiple AI frameworks (BeeAI, etc.) Current Status & Roadmap This is…

Yesterday I built something that probably shouldn’t exist yet. In 9 hours, I created a cognitive architecture demonstrating emergent reasoning. It follows a 5-step loop: Plan → Reason → Act → Reflect → Respond. Adding a WebSearchTool to test extensibility, the agent initially failed its first search, reflected on poor results, adapted its query, and then succeeded. This behavior wasn’t programmed; it emerged naturally from the architecture. Five hours later, I integrated a FileManagerTool — it worked on the first try. Like code compiling first time, except this was intelligence composing…
