Current experiments and active fronts.
This page is a working board for what matters right now in the lab. It stays grounded in the artifacts already published here instead of turning into a vague status page.
What is in motion
The active board emphasizes specific published work and the concrete system questions it is pushing on.
Local agent runtime control
The freshest published signal is subagent-fleet, dated July 1, 2026. The work centers on role-aware routing, local node health, warmup, and observability for Claude Code-style subagents.
Retrieval becoming memory infrastructure
embenx is the clearest retrieval-layer artifact: one API across many backends, with hybrid search, temporal memory, reranking hooks, and MCP-native long-term memory support.
Memory landscape mapping
awesome-agentic-memory is the ecosystem map. It keeps the memory layer legible by comparing frameworks, MCP servers, and backend patterns instead of treating memory as one product feature.
Operator tooling and prompt surfaces
AI Toolkit remains a practical sandbox for prompt composition, grading, rewriting, and output shaping. It is smaller than the other systems but useful as an interface-design proving ground.
If you want to understand the current wedge
This is the shortest path through the existing work if you want the thesis before the broader site catches up.
Planned field notes
These are still planned, not published. They are listed here to show where the writing likely expands next.
