# Issue 001 — Prototype Edition: "If We Launched Tomorrow Morning"

**Type:** Handcrafted prototype edition
**Automation:** NONE. No new architecture. No additional scoring. Curated by hand from Sprint 1 stories (athena_review_report.txt) against the Editorial Test (VISION_LOCK_V1.md).
**Purpose:** The benchmark against which all future automation is measured. If a future pipeline can't reproduce the judgment shown here, it isn't ready.

## What Shipped Today

**Juggler — open-source GUI coding agent** `(id 2225, HN)`
A visual, open-source coding agent from the creator of JUCE. Install and drive it.
→ *Do: install it. GitHub: github.com/juggler-ai/juggler*

**Open-Source Local LLM Training Tool (consumer hardware)** `(id 2315, Reddit)`
A tool for training/fine-tuning local models on consumer GPUs.
→ *Do: run it on your hardware.*

**Zer0Fit — MCP server for zero-shot ML, 100% local** `(id 2427, Reddit)`
Wraps Google's TabFM/TimesFM as an MCP server for forecasts/classifications/regressions. Fully local.
→ *Do: wire it into your agent as an MCP tool.*

**Hundreds of arXiv papers hit daily — an open-source triage tool** `(id 2430, Reddit)`
Built because only ~3 of hundreds matter to one researcher's work.
→ *Do: use it to cut your own paper noise.*

## Run It Locally

**Quad 5060Tis benchmarked for code-gen with Qwen3.6-27B** `(id 1558, Reddit, final 0.50)`
Real numbers, consumer hardware, reproducible method.
→ *Do: replicate the bench on your GPU.*

**Voodoo Quant beats Unsloth Dynamic 2.0 KLD by 95% (Qwen3.5 0.8B/2B)** `(id 1977, Reddit, 0.45)`
Quantization-quality showdown with measured delta.
→ *Do: try Voodoo on your next quant.*

**Nemotron Puzzle 75B on a 64GB M2 Max** `(id 1573, Reddit)`
Runs smoothly — a concrete ceiling number for Apple-silicon home labs.
→ *Do: compare against your own max-model-on-Mac result.*

**Your $80 Tesla P100 has been doing silently noisy math in llama.cpp for years** `(id 1975, Infra, 0.32)`
Three-line fix, free. The most "worth trying tonight" infrastructure post in the set.
→ *Do: apply the 3-line fix tonight.*

## Benchmarks & Builds

**GPUHedge: serverless GPU hedging drops cold-start p95 from 117s → 30s** `(id 2438, Problem Solved, 0.41)`
Measured latency win with a concrete method.
→ *Do: steal the hedging pattern for your own GPU jobs.*

**Migrating a production AI agent to GPT-5.6: 2.2x faster, 27% cheaper** `(id 2089, HN, 0.41)`
Real cost/latency numbers from a production cutover.
→ *Do: benchmark your own agent migration against these.*

**5090 (475/600W) vs 6000 Pro MaxQ / WS (600W) concurrency** `(id 1559, Infra, 0.34)`
Full compute comparison with methodology.
→ *Do: map your workload onto their numbers.*

**Dual-GPU PCIe transfer under llama.cpp (tensor + pipeline)** `(id 1565, Reddit, 0.34)`
Measured interconnect behavior for multi-GPU home builds.
→ *Do: check your own PCIe scaling.*

## Problem Solved

**The real bottleneck for AI agents may be proving who they are** `(id 2314, Infra, 0.19)`
Identity before intelligence — a production lesson, not a feature drop.
→ *Do: learn the pattern before you scale agents.*

**AI agent crawlers now need permission** `(id 2134, RSS, 0.25)`
Cloudflare-style rules for agent access. A workflow decision, not news.
→ *Do: set the same rule for your own agents.*

**GPUHedge / Migrating** (see Benchmarks) — both are *problem-solved-with-numbers*, the canonical section fit.

## Worth Trying Tonight

1. **Apply the Tesla P100 llama.cpp 3-line fix** `(id 1975)` — free, immediate, local.
2. **Install Juggler and drive one real coding task** `(id 2225)` — open-source, now.
3. **Replicate the quad-5060Ti Qwen3.6 bench on your GPU** `(id 1558)` — 20 minutes, real numbers.
4. **Try Voodoo Quant on your next local model** `(id 1977)` — measured 95% KLD win.
5. **Wire Zer0Fit as an MCP tool in your agent** `(id 2427)` — 100% local forecasting.

## What This Edition Proves

Every story above passes the Editorial Test: a reader can **install, run, benchmark, replicate, or learn** something. Nothing here is a lawsuit, a funding round, a CEO take, or a valuation. That's the entire publication in one morning — and the bar every automated edition must clear.

*Rejected from this prototype (representative): PixVerse $439M raise, Apple/OpenAI trade-secret suit, Altman job-creation take, Spotify AI assistant, Lorde-on-AI-glasses. Reader would do NOTHING with those.*
