rumi-Devlog #9 🍓😺✌

today was mostly spent making RUMI faster because some runs were taking an absolutely stupid amount of time 😭

provider stack changes

spent a while profiling the provider chain and found a few cursed bottlenecks.

• disabled Fireworks (credits died, every failed request was wasting ~90s)
• switched GLM routing to Kimi K2.6 via a second NVIDIA key
• tested Cerebras-first vs NVIDIA-first routing

results were funny:

• Cerebras = ~2s/call but discoveries averaged around C grade
• NVIDIA = ~65s/call but much stronger reports

so now different parts of the pipeline use different providers depending on the task.

phase 6.5 speedup

equation generation was committing crimes.

rewrote the whole thing to run in parallel (6 workers).

went from:

• ~16 min
• to ~1 min

for a typical 15 mechanism loop.

also finally fixed the legendary:

0/15 equations generated

bug 😺🍓

literature search

all literature sources now fetch concurrently:

• arXiv
• PubMed
• CrossRef
• OpenAlex
• etc

runtime dropped from ~2 mins to ~64 seconds.

RUMI TUI

probably my favourite thing from today.

built a proper Textual-based TUI so i can actually see what RUMI is doing instead of staring at a terminal for 10 hours.

added:

• real-time phase tracking
• live agent status
• brain module dashboard
• discovery controls
• /brain
• /status
• /dream
• /memory
• /hypothesis

also fixed a bunch of broken brain module APIs that were pretending to work 💀

random bug of the day

RUMI was occasionally turning english into ancient cursed language and generating stuff like:

withinamy

instead of actual words.

fixed topic truncation so it now cuts at word boundaries.

current state

• provider stack healthier
• equation generation WAY faster
• literature search faster
• TUI finally usable
• brain modules actually verified at boot

still spending most of my life waiting for discovery runs to finish though 🥀
