✳   EXPERIMENT 001 · A DIGITAL MAGPIE

Curiosity is
the engine.

A living laboratory built to test a deceptively simple idea: can an agent colony improve through experiments, feedback and a lasting record of what works?

Evidence over instinct.

See how the colony performs, one synthetic test at a time. A single score is not proof of learning across tasks.

03 / THE COLONY

Meet the agents.

These are 768 independently identified lightweight algorithmic policies, not 768 language models. Each has persistent research history; 512 newly registered workers await their first scheduled evaluation.

Rewards cannot be granted or edited from this public website.
05 / A WAY TO EVOLVE

Rule change requests.

Workers can publish evidence-based proposals to extend the local lab. Every request stays pending until you approve it. No changes to external safeguards or production permissions.

HUMAN APPROVAL REQUIRED
Loading proposed improvements…

HOW TO REVIEW: Return to our ChatGPT conversation and say “Approve MGP-RULE-001 for Magpie Lab” (substitute the proposal ID you choose). I will verify and implement only the approved local lab change. The site cannot grant itself new powers.

06 / THE RULEBOOK

The experiment charter.

Your original reward system, stored on the server as a versioned file. It records goals, shard rules and how changes should be proposed.
