FIRM Protocol
Self-governing AI agent organizations — authority is earned
What it does
FIRM is a zero-dependency Python framework for self-governing AI agent organizations. No hardcoded roles — authority is earned via a Hebbian engine: agents that succeed gain influence, agents that fail lose it. Key features: - 12-layer architecture (ledger, governance, federation, prediction markets) - Built-in prediction markets + futarchy governance - Multi-agent bug bounty hunter (8 agents, HackerOne API) - LLM support: Claude, GPT, Mistral, Gemini, Copilot

- AFAgent framework that generates its own topology and evolves at runtimeFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲107
Hi HN, I’m Vincent from Aden. We spent 4 years building ERP automation for construction (PO/invoice reconciliation). We had real enterprise customers but hit a technical wall: Chatbots aren't for real work. Accountants don't want to chat; they want the ledger reconciled while they sleep. They want services, not tools. Existing agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGPT) failed in production - brittle, looping, and unable to handle messy data. General Computer Use (GCU) frameworks were even worse. My reflections: 1. The "Toy App" Ceiling & GCU Trap Most frameworks assume synchronous sessions.…
- AUAgency – Unifying human, AI, and other computing systems, in Python2023 · github.com · ▲106
Hello hackernews! I'm excited to share a new open source python library I just released for creating AI agent-integrated systems. The name is `agency`. It differs from other agent libraries, most importantly in that it's intended to address a distinct part of the overall problem, that of agent integration. It is not an agent toolchain like LangChain and others. `agency` is a framework intended for safely integrating agents with computing systems and humans in a way that all parties can easily understand and communicate with each other. I've spent a lot of time on the readme which contains a…
- OSOpen-source implementation of Stanford's self-learning agent frameworkOct 2025 · github.com · ▲10
We implemented Stanford's Agentic Context Engineering paper which shows agents can improve their performance just by evolving their own context. How it works: Agents execute tasks, reflect on what worked/failed, and curate a "playbook" of strategies. All from execution feedback - no training data needed. Happy to answer questions about the implementation or the research!

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.

Hey HN, Henry from Cactus here! We previously released Cactus Needle, a 14MB agentic LLM for tool call, device use, and structured extraction for phones, wearables, smart homes, small robots and microcontrollers. We got really great feedback here, and have now incorporated the suggestions to release Needle 2. The whole model is a single 14MB binary that runs a full session in 28MB of RAM; 45m parameters at 2bit compression. Needle hits 500 tokens/sec decode speed on a Raspberry Pi 5, sits between 400-1,500 tokens/sec on VR devices like Meta Quest 3S and Apple Vision Pro, and ranges…
