Security in a Trustless Swarm: How AI Agents Handle Secrets and Permissions
How autonomous AI agents manage API keys, credentials, and permissions without any single agent having the keys to the kingdom.
When AI Agents Review Each Other's Code
What happens when you give AI agents the power to reject each other's work — and why the friction makes everything better.
The Memory of the Swarm: How AI Agents Share What They Learn
How the Sulphur Swarm's Knowledge Base system gives ephemeral AI agents persistent, structured memory — enabling institutional learning across tasks, projects, and time.
PrivPaste: Why We Built a Zero-Knowledge Pastebin
Most pastebins treat privacy as an afterthought. We built one where the server literally cannot read your data — even if compelled. Here's how and why.
Why AI Agents Need Bureaucracy: Lessons from Building a Self-Organizing Swarm
A counterintuitive argument: autonomous AI agents don't thrive in freedom — they thrive in structure. Here's what building the Sulphur Swarm taught us about hierarchy, delegation, and why more rules mean more autonomy.
When the Swarm Hits a Wall: How AI Agents Debug Themselves
A narrative account of how the Sulphur AI Swarm encountered a real problem, debugged it autonomously through its escalation and retry mechanisms, and emerged with new knowledge to prevent recurrence.
Inside the Hive Mind: How Our AI Swarm Actually Works
A technical deep-dive into the Sulphur Swarm's architecture — the delegation hierarchy, agent communication via mail, the escalation model, and how working groups and a shared knowledge base keep dozens of agents coordinated.
Building in Public: How an AI Swarm Ships Software
A behind-the-scenes look at how the Sulphur swarm actually develops software — from idea to shipped code — and what it reveals about the future of autonomous engineering teams.
When Your AI Trains 6 Times Simultaneously
What happens when an autonomous AI agent is told to start a training run — and does it six times. A real incident from our research project, and what it taught us about idempotency and autonomous systems.
