First public release of Chimera — an open-source AI agent that reasons by blending many models at once, does real work on its own, keeps learning, and runs anywhere (your laptop or a $5 server). Apache-2.0, self-hostable, fully yours.

What it does

  • Many minds, one answer — LLM-Fusion runs a panel of models → a judge → a synthesizer, behind a cost-aware router (cheap turns use one model; hard problems get fused).
  • It does the work, not just chat — plans, uses tools, checks its own output, and self-corrects with verify-or-revert (executable evidence is the ground truth, so a strict reviewer can't discard verified-correct work).
  • Gets better the more you use it — layered memory (SQLite + FTS5 recall, cross-session user profile, LLM consolidation of fact clusters, preference nudges) plus skills it writes and refines for itself.
  • Safe by design — a governance kernel (allow / warn / block / review), a static validator for self-modification, worktree isolation, and human-in-the-loop for anything destructive.

Highlights in this release

  • Subagent layer — an isolated read-only Context Explorer (FastContext-style grep/glob that returns a compact file:line map), a generic spawn_subagent tool, tool-using role agents, and an IsolatedCrew that runs workers in parallel git worktrees with per-worker verify gates and an optional --synthesize supervisor.
  • Runs on a server — serve --cron fires scheduled jobs on a real clock (proactive, not just reactive); Dockerfile + docker-compose + install.sh + a full deploy guide.
  • Talks to people where they are — native Discord, Telegram, Slack, and Signal adapters; two-way WhatsApp via inbound webhook; webhook-triggered SOPs.
  • Connects to anything — MCP client + OpenAPI→tool import + a reference tool library (code interpreter, email/IMAP, calendar, image/TTS, arXiv, and more).
  • Onboarding from other agents — migrate config, skills, and long-term memory from Hermes & OpenClaw (memory is merged, not overwritten).

Honest status

Chimera is alpha — it builds, runs, and is heavily tested, but has no production mileage yet. Start with low-stakes tasks, keep the guardrails on (--guard, CHIMERA_SANDBOX=docker), and tell us what breaks. Contributions and issues very welcome. 💜
