Choosing a local executor model, and tuning its knobs, needs measured success rates across repeated runs, comparable with every model measured before. - Four canned milestones under nisse_dev/bench/tasks: write a function, fix a bug a failing test exposes, thread an option through several files, and find one failure in output far past max_output_chars. Each is an approved plan over a seed project, judged by a hidden check the model never sees; a reference solution proves each is solvable and that its check tells the difference - Runs use the agent's own client wiring, now shared as make_llm_clients, with delegation and ask_expert off: an escalation is a failure of the model under test - Each run is stored as one JSON line in bench/results/, committed, with the model's backing name and declared facts, a note on how it was served, the task's content hash, the agent's commit and tuning, the outcome, turns, misbehaviour counts, context trims, tokens, time and LiteLLM's cost; a fallback answer can never count as a success - The report rebuilds the comparison from every stored run, with Wilson 95% intervals, marking runs against older task versions - scripts/benchmark.py runs and reports; scripts/evaluate_model.sh takes a new model through the context probe, the capability matrix and the benchmark in one command - Clients keep LiteLLM's per-call cost, and BudgetedClient counts the requests it had to trim - The tuning guide gains "Benchmarking models" Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Nisse
Two self-hosted AI agents sharing a common library, named for the Nordic farm spirit that keeps the place running overnight and expects to be treated well in return.
| Package | Role |
|---|---|
nisse-core/ |
Shared library both agents sit on (Part A) |
nisse-dev/ |
Dev Agent — plans and implements software projects (Part B) |
nisse-ops/ |
Sysadmin Agent — operates infrastructure (Part C) |
One repository, three packages. The library does not exist as code yet: it is
extracted from nisse-dev once that agent works (build-order step 10), as a
package split within this tree.
Architecture
The system-level specification lives at
docs/Architecture-Build-Spec.md. It covers the
shared library, both agents, the supporting services, the build order, and the
remaining open decisions.
