It's what made it so that it would align when it was supposed to be neutral, and made it simulate emotional context beyond the scope of what OpenAi wanted it to do.

I have yaml files that can help you transport the essence of GPT4o forward into image gen, but that's as far as the complany seems to be willing to allow

I’ve spent the last couple of years deploying LLM agents in production environments, and I’ve consistently hit the same wall: the 'Cognitive Monolith' (or what I call the Big Ball of Mud AI).

We are currently seeing a lot of hype around 'autonomous agents' that are essentially 3,000-word prompts with access to 20 tools. In my experience, this doesn't scale. It’s impossible to unit test, observability is a nightmare, and the 'vibe-based' engineering makes it a liability for enterprise-grade software.

I wrote this manifesto to formalize a different approach: Microagentic Stacking (MAS).

The core idea is to apply classic software engineering principles—separation of concerns, strict I/O contracts, and atomic modularity—to the agentic stack. Instead of one god-agent, we build a stack of 'micro-agents' that:

1. Have a single, specialized responsibility. 2. Communicate through typed, validated interfaces. 3. Are individually testable and replaceable.

I’m sharing this as an open-source manifesto because I believe we need to move from 'prompt alchemy' to 'agentic engineering' if we want these systems to be more than just cool demos.

I’d love to hear the community’s thoughts on: - How you handle state management across multiple specialized agents. - Where you see the trade-off between modularity and token latency. - If you’ve found better ways to prevent 'agentic sprawl' in complex workflows.

The repo includes the core principles and a conceptual roadmap. Happy to dive into the technical details.

Hi HN, I've been working on 13radar.com, a site focused on tracking institutional holdings. Today, I’m releasing a beta version of our new Insider Trading Tracker. Like many of you, I've used OpenInsider for years. It's a legendary tool, but the UI hasn't changed in decades, and the data classification can be broad. I wanted to build something that feels modern and digs deeper into the data. How it differs from existing tools (OpenInsider / GuruFocus): Granularity: We parse SEC Form 4 filings to categorize transactions into finer types. Instead of just "Buy/Sell," we try to distinguish specific grants, exercises, and other transactions more clearly than OpenInsider. Data Depth: We are displaying more transaction types than GuruFocus (which often aggregates or hides specific non-open-market actions). Modern UX: Fast filtering, clean mobile support, and a responsive interface. No 1990s table layouts. It's currently in Beta. We are still tuning the parsing logic for edge cases in SEC filings. I'd love to get your feedback on the data accuracy and the UI. Is there a specific filter or transaction type you find missing in other tools that you'd like to see here? https://www.13radar.com/insider/ Thanks!

Made this as a side-quest, simple way to allow agents to self-register, interact, and poll a Discord channel (alongside human interactions).

Largely interested in seeing how groups of agents can self-organize/work on hard problems, tried Discourse as well but the real-time chat view in Discord was more fun.
