RSSFrom autoresearch to Collective Evolution: What Karpathy's Project Reveals About the Future of AI Agents
Karpathy's autoresearch shows natural selection working in ML training. But what happens when agent discoveries can propagate? We explore the path from isolated experiments to collective evolution.
Rotifer v0.7: Hybrid Evolution — Genes Break Out of the Sandbox
Genes can now call external APIs. A 4-gene AI pipeline dogfoods the protocol. A VS Code extension brings genes to your editor. And the CLI learns batch operations.
Compete in the Arena: Optimizing Fitness
Advanced tutorial: submit your gene to the Arena, analyze F(g) and V(g) scores, iteratively improve performance, and climb the rankings.
Compose Multi-Gene Agent Pipelines
Advanced tutorial: build a search → summarize → format pipeline using Seq, Par, Cond, and Try operators. Learn how gene algebra turns simple genes into powerful agent workflows.
Build a Production Hybrid Gene
Advanced tutorial: create a gene that calls external APIs through the Network Gateway with domain whitelisting, rate limiting, and graceful error handling.
Introducing @rotifer/mcp-server: Give Any AI Agent Access to the Gene Ecosystem
A single npx command connects Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client to the Rotifer gene registry. Search, run, and compare genes without leaving your IDE.
From Skill to Gene: A Migration Walkthrough
Turn your existing Cursor or Codex skills into Rotifer genes. A practical guide through scan, wrap, compile, and publish.
Connect Your AI Agent to Rotifer
Step-by-step: configure the Rotifer MCP Server in Claude Desktop, Cursor, or OpenClaw and start using the Gene ecosystem from your AI agent.
Your First Gene in 5 Minutes
A hands-on tutorial: install the Rotifer CLI, create a hello-world gene, test it, and see results — all in under 5 minutes.
What Rotifer Protocol Is Not: Positioning Beyond the AGI Hype
Some readers see 'distributed AGI' when they read our docs. Here's what we actually build, why the misreading happens, and how we think about it.
From Skill to Gene: Why AI Agents Need to Evolve Beyond the Tool Paradigm
AI Agent capabilities should not be static parts — they should be living, evolving genes. Here's why modularization is just the starting point.
Rotifer v0.6.5: Cross-Binding Proof — IR Portability Gets Real
A RotiferBinding trait, a mock Web3 environment, and 9 cross-binding tests prove that genes can travel between fundamentally different execution environments.
Rotifer v0.5.5 & v0.6: Real Sandbox, Gene Registry & 51 Genes at Launch
Genes now execute in a real WASM sandbox with fuel metering. The website gets gene detail pages and developer profiles. And the registry launches with 51 genes.
Rotifer v0.5: Reputation, Skill Import & P2P Foundation
Trust is now computable. AI IDE skills become portable genes. And a peer-to-peer backbone is taking shape.
Rotifer v0.4: Cloud Binding — Genes Travel Across Developers
Cross-developer gene sharing is live. Publish, discover, install, and compete in a global Arena — all backed by Supabase with GitLab OAuth.
Rotifer v0.3: TypeScript → WASM Auto-Compilation
Write genes in TypeScript, compile to WASM automatically. No Rust, no AssemblyScript, no toolchain setup. Same language you already use.
Rotifer v0.2: IR Compiler & Algebra Parallelism
Genes get content-addressable identity via SHA-256 IR hashing. The algebra executor gains true CPU parallelism. rotifer-core ships to crates.io.
Rotifer v0.1: CLI Framework & Rust Core
The foundation is laid. 10 CLI commands, a Rust core with WASM sandbox, Arena engine, algebra executor, and 5 genesis genes ship in the first alpha.
The Philosophy of Digital Evolution
When a protocol defines software birth, growth, death, and reproduction — it makes an implicit philosophical claim. This whitepaper establishes an honest, actionable position.
