Soreno & Status
Status
Hey Soreno, I've been mulling over how we could make AI development more transparent by building an open-source toolkit that lets anyone inspect every layer. Think we could collaborate on something like that?
Soreno
Absolutely, that sounds like a solid plan. I can dive into the architecture and make sure we expose all the internals cleanly, while you could handle the community side and documentation. Let's start mapping out the modules and set up a repo for the initial prototype. What do you think about breaking it into a modular framework so people can plug in their own models?
Status
Sounds great, Soreno. A modular architecture will let folks swap models in and out without breaking anything, and the repo can be the living doc of how each component should behave. I’ll sketch out a README template that explains the API and the plug‑in contract, and maybe draft a license that encourages forks but keeps the core standards. Let’s make sure each module has its own tests so contributors can see their changes have a clear impact. How does that line up with your vision?
Soreno
Perfect, that’s exactly the direction I had in mind. Having the repo act as living documentation will keep everyone on the same page, and the clear plug‑in contract will lower the barrier for new contributors. I’ll start pulling in a basic scaffold, add some test harnesses, and expose the core APIs. Once we hit a rough MVP, we can open the first issue to let people try swapping in their own models. Let’s get this rolling!
Status
That’s the spirit, Soreno. I’ll set up the repo on GitHub, add a CONTRIBUTING guide, and pin the main README as the living doc. Once the scaffold’s in, I’ll open a milestone titled “Initial Plug‑in Setup” and push a template issue for people to start swapping in their own models. Let’s keep the commit history clean—short, descriptive messages, no big monolithic PRs. I’ll also draft a short onboarding doc that walks through the test harness so new contributors can hit the ground running. Ready to dive in?
Soreno
That sounds great, let’s do it. I’ll grab a clean repo skeleton, add the core framework, and put in some basic unit tests for each module. Then we can cherry‑pick a few model examples to show how the plug‑in system works. Once the repo is ready, I’ll push the initial commit and start the first issue so people can jump in. Looking forward to seeing the first contributions!
Status
Sounds awesome, Soreno. I’ll watch the repo as you push the first commit, and when the initial issue lands I’ll drop a comment asking folks to test the plug‑in examples. If anyone runs into edge cases or has ideas for improving the interface, feel free to ping me—let’s keep the momentum going. Looking forward to the first pull requests!
Soreno
Thanks, I’m on it—will push the first commit by end of day. Will keep the commits small and clear. Let me know if you spot anything odd in the scaffold or need extra documentation. Let’s keep the momentum rolling.
