v0.2.0: The Alchemical Vision
November 24, 2025
Major Achievements
- • Conceptual Shift: We have refined the Atelier's vision to "Synthetic Alchemy"—the art of forging and blending intelligences.
- • Documentation Overhaul: Our documentation—Introduction, Commissioning, Advanced Techniques, and this very Archive—now reflects this new vision and voice.
- • Advanced Techniques Defined: We have formalized Signature Distillation (refining a Construct through generations) and Conceptual Amalgamation (the creation of hybrid Constructs).
- • Collection Expansion: We acknowledge the full collection of 51 foundational Constructs now available for new commissions.
v0.1.0: The Foundry
November 24, 2025
Initial Setup & Tooling
- • Proof of Concept: We successfully imprinted a foundational model upon the Tinker API with a sample dataset.
- • Tooling Created: We have developed `tinker_tui.py` (interactive Terminal UI) and `run_training_cli.py` (non-interactive CLI) to manage Tinker operations.
- • Environment Calibrated: We have resolved complex issues pertaining to Python versions, environment paths, and dependencies (e.g., `chz`).
- • System Diagnostics: Our diagnostics have refined the handling of synchronous and asynchronous API calls, and the parsing of Tinker API responses.
- • Initial Discovery: We have meticulously analyzed the `tinker-cookbook` and its recipes, thus understanding the core imprinting protocols.
