Assembly Map

Collate the open-source AI ecosystem into one evidence-gated lab.

The product is not a pile of tools. It is one artifact graph where learning, research rooms, open models, data, evals, discussions, funding, and AI agents all leave inspectable records.

Learning, research, agents, releases, and funding all write into the same evidence trail.

Unifying rule

The artifact graph is the platform spine.

Every claim has a source, artifact, reviewer, status, and caveat.

Every model release says whether it is open source, open weight, open recipe, private, or embargoed.

Every discussion, agent run, evaluation, bounty, and experiment links back to a content object.

Every public promise is either live, planned, blocked, or explicitly out of scope.

First walking skeleton

Attention to Serving now has a candidate eval artifact.

This is the shape to repeat: a room route, a structured eval card, a deterministic local witness, a result artifact, caveats, openness boundary, model/data/eval reference card, and review-ready learning, RFC, discussion, decision, credit, funding, and model-program trails.

Product layers

Every layer writes into the same evidence trail.

The Claude session made the important correction: the graph is not another feature. It is the contract that lets parallel work combine instead of drift apart.

Learn

Learning Atlas

Concept notebooks, source panels, demos, prediction checkpoints, and code witnesses give learners the object before asking them to contribute.

Writes: concept, equation, source, demo, code witness
Room

Research Rooms

Each room has one concrete research object, a ladder of readiness, and a boundary between what is proven, toy evidence, and planned work.

Writes: room, claim, ladder stage, discussion anchor
Propose

RFC -> Issue Pipeline

Ideas become scoped hypotheses with prior work, data, compute, risks, expected artifacts, and acceptance gates before anyone asks an agent or contributor to work.

Writes: rfc, issue, task, acceptance criteria
Run

Experiment Runner

Start with deterministic local scripts and logged CPU runs; promote to GPU jobs only when the claim, data, eval, and budget are ready.

Writes: run, config, log, output, limitation
Model

Open Model Foundry

Small-model finetuning, distillation, post-training, model cards, dataset cards, eval results, and release packaging live behind the same evidence gates.

Writes: model, dataset, recipe, card, checkpoint
Review

Open Review Layer

Human reviewers and AI reviewers inspect source support, license boundaries, benchmark contamination, safety, and reproducibility before promotion.

Writes: review, caveat, decision, reviewer credit
Fund

Public Funding Ledger

Bounties, compute credits, grants, and sponsorships map to visible work packages instead of a vague donation pool.

Writes: bounty, sponsor, expense, compute grant
Control

Mission Control

The platform tracks its own roadmap, agent runs, costs, PRs, decisions, coverage, and blocked work as a private room that can later become public read-only.

Writes: agent run, PR, cost, deploy, roadmap status

Open-source assembly

Use existing ecosystems as components, not as vague inspiration.

Continuous Function should orchestrate the best public building blocks through a versioned catalog: 10 layers, 80 official source anchors, and an explicit GPT Pro review gate marked unavailable in current codex session.

Openness Standard

Every release, model card, eval card, and room badge reads from this boundary.

openness badge + release checklist + license and restriction caveatNext: Add an openness badge to room headers and model cards.

Research Workflow And Review Layer

A public contributor sees the exact path from question to evidence to implementation without needing private chat context.

RFC + discussion thread + discussion routing contractNext: Use discussion-routing contracts before enabling public discussions, chat, forums, or external review venues.

Learning Path Layer

Continuous Function stays first a place to learn, and only then asks learners to become reviewers or builders.

route + concept notebook + demo witnessNext: Apply learning-loop contracts so each room says what a student should see, predict, run, explain, and contribute.

Contribution Ladder

Contribution begins as review and source correction, then grows toward scoped PRs, eval maintenance, and room stewardship.

trust level + reviewer pilot protocol + review packetNext: Apply contribution-credit contracts before public contributor ledgers, role promotion, or agent-budget increases.

Funding And Governance Ledger

Funding becomes a graph object: what was funded, by whom if public, what it produced, and what remains unfunded.

bounty + sponsorship item + compute grantNext: Apply the funding governance activation boundary and a scoped funding item before launching any donation page, sponsor tier, bounty, compute grant, or paid review.

AI-Assisted Review And Agent Runs

Agent output becomes a reviewable lab record instead of invisible magic.

agent-run journal + review prompt + diff or artifact pointerNext: Use the external review routing boundary before asking GPT Pro, Oracle, human experts, advisors, funders, public reviewers, or GitHub reviewers for advice; use the platform activation boundary before live auth, persistence, discussion, agent, reviewer-credit, public-release, or funding gates are turned on.

Artifact index

Six questions make the evidence graph navigable.

The index is now a public-safe contract with 75 entries, 244 relationships, and 7 standards anchors. A local JSON package candidate is locally generated with 59 checksummed artifacts; publication remains not published. The metadata crosswalk has 12 rows for future RO-Crate, BagIt, SPDX, citation, CodeMeta, and DataCite outputs, with no rich export generated.

Learner path

Export decision packet

Given the generated local JSON artifact package and metadata crosswalk, which one rich export should Continuous Function implement next: RO-Crate, BagIt, SPDX, CITATION.cff, CodeMeta, DataCite, or no rich export yet? Options: 7 · source anchors 9 · rich exports created 0 · review not run.

Learner/research cohesion

cohesion spine ready; review not run

The learner/research cohesion spine connects learning, source grounding, contribution, model/data/eval, review, activation, funding, package, and release boundaries, but no learner test, live runtime, public intake, model/data/eval run, public funding, package publication, GPT Pro review, Oracle review, human pedagogy review, accessibility review, or maintainer approval exists.

Learner route rail

static route rail implemented; review not run

A static learner route rail is implemented on /lab-os from the learner-path map. It improves orientation but remains review-not-run, non-interactive, not learner-tested, not accessibility-reviewed, and does not open public intake, runtime, model/data/eval, funding, release, or Open Source AI claims.

  1. 01Object

    Name the equation, mechanism, or route object first.

    This does not prove the route is learner-tested or easy to understand.
  2. 02Predict

    Ask for prediction before witness, reveal, or answer copy.

    This does not prove benchmark, production, hosted-demo, or model quality.
  3. 03Source

    Pair source support with caveat and blocked overclaim.

    This does not prove endorsement, peer review, external review, or Open Source AI readiness.
  4. 04Eval boundary

    Show no-model, no-dataset, no-task-config, no-run, and no-release states as useful boundaries.

    This does not authorize a task config, run command, metric, benchmark, hosted demo, or funding ask.
  5. 05Contribute

    Offer narrow friction, source correction, reproduction, caveat rewrite, or review-packet question paths.

    This does not grant authorship, maintainer status, merge authority, funding entitlement, or agent budget.
  6. 06Review

    Route GPT Pro, Oracle, human, maintainer, GitHub, and OpenReview-style feedback through review notes.

    This does not mean GPT Pro, Oracle, human, public, maintainer, or security review has completed.
  7. 07Package

    Show local JSON package, checksum manifest, metadata crosswalk, and export decision state.

    This does not publish RO-Crate, BagIt, SPDX, CITATION.cff, CodeMeta, DataCite, DOI, archive, or release packet outputs.
Contribution chooser

Learner path operating map

path map ready; review not run

The Lab OS has a learner-path operating map that connects object, prediction, source, model/data/eval boundary, contribution, review, and package states. It remains review-not-run and does not prove learner testing, external review, public intake, live runtime, funding, model/data/eval execution, release, or Open Source AI readiness. The route rail has 7 stages and 10 source anchors.

Path stages7 stages

Orient to the object

Predict and witness

Ground the claim in sources

UI directions4 directions

Use a compact path rail: Object, Predict, Source, Eval boundary, Contribute, Review, Package.

Every claim card should show source support, local witness, caveat, review state, and next allowed action.

Offer small, separate actions for friction note, source correction, reproduction note, caveat rewrite, and review-packet question.

Review queue

Run the smallest grounded review before opening larger promises.

Collate the current GPT Pro, Oracle, human, security, learner, eval, funding, GitHub, and OpenReview-style review packets into one ranked queue so advice becomes recorded review artifacts instead of scattered chat or broad platform claims.

Decide accept-candidate, revise-candidate, or reject-candidate. Answer the five review questions: source-fit, minimum-task-evidence, model-data-run-boundary, review-output-route, and public-copy-risk. Cite artifact paths or official source anchors for each finding. Return an external-review-note-shaped output with decision, question-by-question findings, source caveats, blocked claims that remain blocked, suggested next artifact or no-change rationale, and maintainer disposition needed before promotion. Do not claim that GPT Pro, Oracle, a human evaluator, GitHub reviewer, OpenReview venue, advisor, funder, or maintainer has approved anything unless a named artifact proves it. Do not claim an eval RFC, task config, prompt template, metric, dataset, model, run, benchmark, hosted demo, funding ask, release, or Open Source AI state exists.

gpt pro review recorded maintainer pending

Package and track the Transformer Lab eval-task candidate for external review without claiming that GPT Pro critique is maintainer disposition, eval RFC approval, task config readiness, model/data/eval readiness, benchmark, funding, release, or Open Source AI state. GPT Pro complete · Oracle not run · human pending · external review note recorded.

Review the Transformer Lab eval-task source-intake candidate as proposal-only work. Use only the attached public-safe artifacts: source-intake-eval-task-review-packet, source-intake-eval-task-candidate, source-intake-eval-task-machine-source-review-note, eval-task-maintainer-disposition-packet, external-review-note.schema, rank-one-review-workbench, external-review-routing-boundary, release-evidence-ladder, Transformer Lab model/data/eval boundary packet, and the regenerated Mission Control public summary. Decide one of accept-candidate, revise-candidate, reject-candidate, or defer-external-review. Answer source-fit, minimum-task-evidence, model-data-run-boundary, review-output-route, and public-copy-risk. For every material finding, cite a local artifact path or official source anchor.

No public outreach, public review venue, expert/advisor campaign, public issue review queue, or public learner cohort is open from this queue.

Build order

Build the walking skeleton before deep social features.

1. Make the artifact graph visible

Expose what already exists: content objects, claim checks, sources, caveats, route state, and room ladder status.

A public graph-backed room status page.

2. Run one flagship room end to end

Use Attention to Serving as the first complete loop: concept route, witness, script, experiment, eval sketch, review, and contribution issue.

One honest public research artifact.

3. Add Mission Control privately

Track TODOs, agent runs, costs, PRs, coverage, and blocked work as the platform building itself.

Owner-only operating room.

4. Invite the first reviewers

Use the Join page to ask for narrow critique, not broad commitment. Credit every useful review as an artifact contribution.

First-10 reviewer pilot.

5. Move agent work onto issues

Convert task specs into GitHub issues, then route approved labels to Codex/Claude-style runs that open draft PRs for human review.

Task -> agent run -> PR -> review trail.

6. Fund only concrete work

Publish sponsorship asks after there are real rooms, bounties, eval queues, and compute needs to fund.

Transparent funding ledger.

Discipline

Avoid the traps that make open labs feel empty or unserious.

Do not launch empty social infrastructure before there are people asking to contribute.

Do not imply a model is open source unless data information, code, and parameters meet the release standard.

Do not build GPU orchestration before local reproducible scripts and eval gates exist.

Do not let public issue text directly trigger repo-writing agents without maintainer approval.
