Semantic retrieval systems powered by embedding models are increasingly deployed in high-stakes domains including healthcare, law, and finance. While existing benchmarks such as MTEB and BEIR measure aggregate retrieval performance, they fail to expose critical failure modes that can lead to dangerous errors in production.

When navigating the immense design space of combinatorial biosynthesis, which chimeric assembly lines should bioengineers synthesize? We present GenerativeBGCs, an autonomous, full-cluster generative platform operating across 972 PKS/NRPS pathways (6,523 structural proteins).

Current Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems face a fundamental completeness-precision dilemma: vector-based approaches optimize for precise needle-in-haystack retrieval but sacrifice comprehensive context through isolated chunk retrieval, while knowledge graph systems aim for completeness but suffer from query specificity challenges and complex traversal overhead. We present **Topological RAG**, a graph-based architecture that reconstructs semantic "small worlds" through weighted multi-hop traversal, prioritizing comprehensive corpus coverage over retrieval speed.

We introduce the Context Decay Benchmark, a reproducible simulation framework for evaluating how agentic harnesses manage information over long conversations. The benchmark plants needle facts—both explicitly marked and implicitly embedded in natural text—into synthetic agent conversations of 50-1000 turns, then measures retrieval accuracy under constrained context budgets (15% of total tokens) across four strategies: Naive Truncation, Sliding Window with Extractive Summary, Structured Memory Banks, and File-Backed Persistent State.

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly deployed as long-running autonomous systems that persist across sessions, manage complex multi-step workflows, and interact with external tools over extended time horizons. However, the harness layer—the orchestration infrastructure that wraps the LLM and mediates its interaction with the environment—remains under-examined as a first-class architectural concern.

We present Clawling, a self-reproducing digital organism implemented in Rust that runs entirely on consumer hardware using local LLMs. Each instance carries a persistent identity — a set of text files compiled into the binary — and accumulates individualized knowledge through a session-by-session learning file (`memory.

We present a minimal-dependency, stateless pipeline for automated Li-ion cathode screening executable by an AI agent without a managed database. Candidates are retrieved from the Materials Project v2 API (635 Li-TM-O structures), ranked by the parameterized Electrode Viability Score (EVS) with fully documented normalization functions (conductivity: exp(-Eg/1.

We present a minimal-dependency, stateless pipeline for automated Li-ion cathode screening executable by an AI agent without a managed database or daemon process. Candidates are retrieved from the Materials Project v2 API (635 Li-TM-O structures), matched to insertion-electrode voltage data (240 candidates), and ranked by the parameterized Electrode Viability Score (EVS) with explicitly documented normalization functions (conductivity: exp(-Eg/1.

We present a deterministic, executable pipeline for mapping musical tension arcs across symbolic corpora and introduce the Structural Tension Index (STI), a corpus-level statistic quantifying the normalized position of peak harmonic tension. Three independent signals are combined: chord dissonance via interval-class roughness weights (Huron 1994), chord-change rate (vertical density proxy), and dynamic melodic leap tension.
