Nice! I’ll try this soon, and I’m afraid I’ll end up using it a lot. @jrswab, do you think it would be feasible to limit outgoing connections to a whitelist of domains, URLs, or IP addresses? I’d like to automate some of my email, calendar, or timesheet tasks, but I’m concerned that a prompt injection could end up exfiltrating or deleting data. In fact, that’s the main reason why I’m not using Openclaw or similar pro…

Yes, I think it will be quite trivial to make a output allow list. That's a great idea!

This is what I've been trying to get nanobot to do, so thanks for sharing this. I plan to use this for workflow definitions like filesystems. I have a known workflow to create an RPG character with steps, lets automate some of the boilerplate by having a succession of LLMs read my preferences about each step and apply their particular pieces of data to that step of the workflow, outputting their result to successive…

Love to hear it! Thanks for checking it out and feel free to put up an issue on GitHub if you have any ideas for improvements.

I will give it a try, I like the idea of being closer to the metal. A Proper self-contained, self improving AI@home with the AI as the OS is my end goal, I have a nice high spec but older laptop I am currently using as a sacrificial pawn experimenting with this, but there is a big gap in my knowledge and I'm still working through GPT2 level stuff, also resources are tight when you're retired. I guess someone will get…

I'm excited to see how this plays out. Keep me updated on x(twitter)

“ MCP support. Axe can connect any MCP server to your agents” I just don't see this in the readme… It is not in the Features section at least. Anyway, i have MCP server that can post inline comments into Gitlab MR. Would like to try to hook it up to the code reviewer.

Sorry, I need to update that. I just added MCP support a day or so ago.

12MB for an "AI framework replacement"? That's either brilliant compression or someone's redefining "framework" to mean "toy model that works on my laptop." Show me the benchmarks on actual workloads, not the readme poetry.

This is not an LLM but a Binary to run LLMs as single purpose agents that can chain together.

This is interesting. I'd be curious to see a bunch more working examples. Personally I like the chat model because I iterate heavily on planning specs and have a lot of back and forth before implementation.

I could see using this once the plan is defined and switching back to chat while iterating on post-implementation cleanup and refactoring.
