Orchestrated ShinkaEvolve
A custom ShinkaEvolve fork where a frontier-LLM orchestrator (Claude Opus) directs the search and spawns evolutionary child solutions as containerized GLM-5 agents. Pointed at open targets — faster llama.cpp inference, the 4×4 matrix-multiplication record (AlphaEvolve's 48 multiplies), Erdős problems, and bitpacking. Research-stage: the matmul search space proved too large to beat the record, but the distributed agent-evolution harness is the payoff.

FunSearch-GA
DeepMind's FunSearch fused with a genetic algorithm — an LLM evolves bucket-filling optimization programs under tournament selection, crossover, mutation, and elitism, scored on time, memory, and solution quality.

Mini-Evolve
An AlphaEvolve-style evolutionary coding agent — async LLM calls, a SQLite program database, modular problem definitions, and Jinja2 prompt templates driving open-ended code evolution.

Local GPU Inference Stack
A self-hosted inference fleet tuned across Apple Silicon (M1, M4 Pro / MPS) and NVIDIA Pascal→Blackwell (dual Tesla P40, RTX 5070, RTX 5090) — dual-GPU tensor parallelism under vLLM, flash attention and KV-cache tuning under Ollama, and a GGUF quantization ladder (Q8→Q4→Q2) that serves 7B–70B models on prosumer hardware.
