Ouroboros-Key: Self-Modifying Neural Networks

I build tools that turn AI models into quines—programs that contain and can rewrite themselves.

What I've Built

🧬 Ouroboros-Key — A compiler that transforms any PyTorch/HuggingFace model into a single-file autonomous agent that:

• Embeds its own weights (base64-encoded inside the code)
• Runs a full MCP server for AI-to-AI communication
• Includes a terminal UI for evolution, training, and GPU deployment
• Self-replicates and mutates via NEAT-based neuroevolution

🚀 One-click GPU deployment — Rent a Vast.ai GPU, and the agent deploys itself automatically (no SSH, no setup)

🔍 Glass-box AI — Human oversight system (HOLD points) for inspecting inference at runtime

Why Sponsor?

Your support funds continued development of:

• Model conversion tools (GGUF, ONNX, MLX)
• Multi-model council inference
• Swarm orchestration for distributed evolution
• Documentation and tutorials

This is bleeding-edge AI research, open to anyone who wants to understand how self-modifying systems work.
