This project is an experiment in large-scale engineering with language model (LM) agents. It serves two purposes.

• The first is as an experiment, testing the hypothesis that agents can be coerced to write high-performance software. Coercion here roughly means with disciplined context management through tools, including programming languages and systems.
• The second is as a source of high-performance programmable software, for usage more generally (beyond the purview of seeing if agents can write this stuff: we want it to be useful! To laypeople, to scientists, etc)

In any case, it should be abundantly clear ahead of time that agents are being used to write this software. This project does not seek to hide that, it is the entire point of the project.

We dream of a world where users can quickly spin up customized high-performance software for their open access computing devices, without having to reinvent the universe (indeed, this project might serve as such a universe).

All work, unless otherwise specified, is licensed under AGPL v3.0 (which, as is abundantly clear, is mostly symbolic these days -- but we hope it warms the hearts of a few)

We like to have a bit of fun with our software: we hope you find a bit of playful chaos in some of our releases. In the words of The Little Schemer, bon appetit!
