From 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.

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 v0.3: TypeScript → WASM Auto-Compilation

Write genes in TypeScript, compile to WASM automatically. No Rust, no AssemblyScript, no toolchain setup. Same language you already use.

#release#typescript#wasm

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.

#release#ir#compiler
Release

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.
