"What is this place?" you ask.

Ryan shakes his head and laughs, %FLUXTAPOSITION% "You wouldn't understand."

"Go play in the lab."

mission

To create a simple, opinionated, and declarative framework for machine learning experiments. Our goal is to standardize AGI (Autonomous Generative Influence) via a decentralized ensemble of toy models on commodity hardware (i.e. your desktop computer).

features

• Automated pipelines for development, training, and inference lifecycles across a variety of AI architectures.
• A portable, autonomous AI agent used for distributed, unsupervised learning.
• Easy to install, runs anywhere.
• Integration with all of your platforms.
• Local-first, offline APIs for text generation, image interrogation, and pattern mining.
• Designed for deployment into auto-scaling, distributed architectures.
• Swarm intelligence via sparse networks.
• Rolling release cycles.
• A hypothesis, a language, a story.
• And so much more!

instructions

• Install Git and Docker.
• Clone this repo to a local directory: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/0-5788719150923125/vtx.git path/to/my/directory

To clone faster, consider adding --depth 1 to clone only the most recent commit, reducing download time.

• Use VSCode tasks with ctrl + shift + p, the controller.sh script (on Linux/Mac) or the controller.ps1 script (Windows) to control the AI.
• Place configurations into a config.yml file. (example 1, example 2)
• Put credentials into a .env file at the root of this project. (example .env file)
• The "up" task is used to bring your lab online.
• The "fetch" and "prepare" tasks are used for data retrieval and preparation.
• The "train" task is used to train your models.
• Checkout, fix, or update git submodules with init, repair, or update tasks.
• Ask me questions.

examples

troubleshooting

• If, for some reason, a git submodule directory is empty, please try to cd into the module directory, and run this command: git submodule update --init
• For Windows users, VSCode tasks will not work until you unblock the appropriate Powershell script: Unblock-File -Path .\controller.ps1
