- Oct 12, 2026MindBroadcast — A Technical Specification for a Persistent, Autonomous, News-Driven Intelligence and Broadcasting SystemMindBroadcast is a persistent, autonomous broadcasting system that continuously transforms incoming information into an evolving stream of spoken analysis, commentary, and debate. A complete technical specification for a local-first, event-driven, evidence-grounded AI system that maintains an internal model of the world and produces ongoing, persona-driven interpretations.mindbroadcastautonomous-broadcastinglocal-firstevent-drivenpersistent-ainews-intelligence
- Sep 4, 2026The Sovereign Agent Stack — A Local-First, Compile-Time AI Agent FrameworkThe Sovereign Agent Stack (SAS) is a local-first, compile-time AI agent framework that operationalizes the sovereignty thesis from The Rented Sovereign. A complete 7-layer architecture with 156 tests, 23 E2E tests, plugin system, MCP server, and package manager distribution.sovereign-agent-stacklocal-firstcompile-time-aisovereign-aiagent-architectureopen-source
- Aug 9, 2026Hermes Atlas v0.1: A Local-First, Incrementally-Compiled, Falsifiable Knowledge SystemHermes Atlas v0.1 is a local-first, incrementally-compiled, falsifiable knowledge system. This is a full replication guide: every command was run for real, and the failure modes are the findings.sovereign-ailocal-aiknowledge-graphgraphragfalsifiabilitylocal-first
- Aug 9, 2026Hermes Atlas v0.2: Claim-Level Coverage, a Determinism Gate, and a Knowledge-Mutation CanaryHermes Atlas v0.2 is a benchmark-and-fix release: claim-level coverage localisation, a determinism gate that proves compile reproducibility, and a knowledge-mutation canary. Every number below was measured, not asserted.sovereign-ailocal-aiknowledge-graphgraphragfalsifiabilitylocal-first
- Aug 9, 2026Hermes Atlas v0.3: An Evidence Ledger, a Provable Claim Lifecycle, and an Explain CommandHermes Atlas v0.3 adds an evidence ledger to every claim, a provable claim lifecycle (including DELETE-driven invalidation that retains history), and an `atlas explain` command. Every number below was measured, not asserted.sovereign-ailocal-aiknowledge-graphgraphragfalsifiabilitylocal-first
- Aug 9, 2026Hermes Atlas v0.4: Proving the Evidence Ledger & Claim Lifecycle with a Gold-Labeled BenchmarkHermes Atlas v0.4 proves the v0.3 evidence ledger and provable claim lifecycle with a gold-labeled benchmark. Every number was measured on a fixed, model-free corpus; two real bugs were found and fixed in the process. Everything below is reproducible.sovereign-ailocal-aiknowledge-graphgraphragfalsifiabilitylocal-first
- Aug 9, 2026Building Hermes Video Agent: a local-first, human-in-the-loop video pipelineA full replication guide for Hermes Video Agent — a local-first, human-in-the-loop pipeline that turns an idea into a captioned MP4. Idea → script → storyboard → licensed visuals → clonable-voice narration → burn-in captions → final cut, with the human approving every gate. Exact commands, verified API/schema detail, the Vox in-process voice-clone integration, and the bugs paid for along the way.ai-agentslocal-first-aisovereign-aivideo-generationskillsagent-infrastructure
- Aug 8, 2026Building a Local-First Rehab Cost Analyzer with an AI Agent (Full Build + Replication Guide)A full retrospective and replication guide for rehab-analyzer: a local-first real-estate rehab cost estimator built entirely with Hermes Agent. Covers the architecture, the provider/adapters, the real-photo pipeline (Redfin via Playwright, Google Places, Street View, Esri, Geoapify), the local-LLM estimate step, every bug we hit, and the exact Hermes environment setup that makes the whole thing reproducible.ai-agentshermit-agentlocal-first-aisovereign-ainextjsreal-estate
- Aug 5, 2026How I Taught an Agent to Edit Video — and the Repeatable Method Behind ItA methodology guide and continuity record: how a bare Hermes Agent became a video-editing assistant — and the repeatable, domain-independent method behind it. GreenPatch and a private vertical-video pipeline appear as worked examples of the pattern, not prescriptions.ai-agentslocal-first-aisovereign-aiskillsvideo-generationagent-infrastructure
- Jul 23, 2026Building the Scientific Question Compiler: A Map of What We Do Not KnowWe built the second compiler in the Scientific State program: the Scientific Question Compiler, which turns a corpus into a map of what humanity does not yet know. Local-first, running on a 35B model on our own hardware. Here is what we built, what broke, and what it means.ai-agentscompile-time-aiknowledge-compilerlocal-first-aiprovenancereproducible-ai
- Jul 23, 2026Compiling the State of Human Understanding: A Roadmap for the Scientific State CompilerA research roadmap: the four compiler directions — Mechanistic Reasoning, Scientific Question, Scientific State, and Discovery — are not competing projects. They are five passes in one architecture that compiles the scientific corpus into a versioned, executable model of human understanding. Here is the full plan.ai-agentscompile-time-aiknowledge-compilerknowledge-graphlocal-first-aiprovenance
- Jul 22, 2026If the Loop Is the Product, Observability Becomes the Operating SystemYesterday I argued scientific knowledge needs a compiler, not a better research assistant. Today I built the general one — five discovery passes, local-first version control for understanding, and a live explorer. This is what it means when the loop, not the model, is the product.ai-agentscompile-time-aiknowledge-compilerknowledge-graphlocal-first-aiprovenance
- Jul 21, 2026Compiling Medical Evidence: A Clinical Research Compiler That Turns Guidelines and Trials Into a Queryable Knowledge ArtifactHow to compile medical guidelines, trials, and literature into a provenance-tracked, queryable Clinical Knowledge Artifact — and deploy a live evidence explorer to Vercel — by extending the Research Compiler Agent SDK into a Clinical Research Compiler.ai-agentscompile-time-aiknowledge-compilerknowledge-graphlocal-first-aiprovenance
- Jul 21, 2026A Research Compiler for Scientific Understanding, Not a Better Research AssistantA research vision: why scientific knowledge needs a new computational architecture. The Clinical Research Compiler SDK is an early prototype of a scientific reasoning compiler that transforms literature into versioned understanding — not a better research assistant.ai-agentscompile-time-aiknowledge-compilerknowledge-graphlocal-first-aiprovenance
- Jul 20, 2026Compile-Time Intelligence: Building a Research Compiler Agent That Compiles Knowledge Instead of Re-Reading ItAn autonomous Research Compiler Agent that compiles web sources into a persistent, queryable, provenance-tracked Knowledge Artifact — moving semantic computation from runtime inference into reusable artifacts (Compile-Time Intelligence). Built on the Knowledge Compiler SDK; local-first and reproducible.ai-agentscompile-time-aiknowledge-compilerknowledge-graphlocal-first-aiprovenance
- Jul 18, 2026Compile-Time AI in Practice: How We Built a Kubernetes Knowledge CompilerHow we built k8s-docs-compiler — a Kubernetes knowledge compiler that applies compile-time AI: intelligence moved to the build step, shipped as a static, queryable, versioned knowledge graph with zero runtime inference.compile-time-aiknowledge-compilerkuberneteslocal-first-aiknowledge-graphnextjs
- Jul 14, 2026The Recursive Research Compiler: Turning Compile-Time AI Inward with the Knowledge Compiler SDKA case study in Compile-Time AI: how the Knowledge Compiler SDK turns Markdown into inspectable intermediate representations, and how pairing it with an agent like Hermes lets a codebase compile its own next generation of passes.compile-time-aisovereign-aiknowledge-graphslocal-firstagentscompilers

- Jul 11, 2026Knowledge Compiler: Why I'm Building a Compiler for Human Knowledge Instead of Another RAG SystemKnowledge Compiler transforms collections of Markdown documents into statically-deployable semantic artifacts — knowledge graphs, concept hierarchies, vector embeddings, and cluster maps — using a multi-pass compilation pipeline.
