| # Concept Pitches — Small Hackathon Multiagent System | |
| Constraints recap: ≤32B total params · Gradio app on a HF Space · demo video + social post. | |
| Inference: Modal GPU (vLLM, OpenAI-compatible) + llama.cpp on Modal (Llama Champion badge). | |
| Models: mix of newest small open-weight specialists (June 2026). | |
| Bonus badges in reach with our stack: **llama.cpp** (Modal llama.cpp path), **Open trace** | |
| (publish agent traces to the Hub), **Custom UI** (custom Gradio frontend), **Field Notes** (blog). | |

| ## Pitch A — "The Council" (Thousand Token Wood) ⭐ recommended | |
| A whimsical decision oracle. You ask a life question ("should I repaint my bike shed teal?") | |
| and a **council of tiny specialist agents** debates it in real time, each with a distinct | |
| persona + model, then a chair synthesizes a verdict you can watch unfold. | |
| - **Why it wins:** AI is load-bearing (the debate *is* the product), genuinely delightful, | |
| multiagent is the whole point — not plumbing. Easy to demo, easy to show a friend. | |
| - **Agents:** | |
| - Router/Chair — MiniCPM5-1B (tiny, fast turn-taking + tool calls) → OpenBMB special prize | |
| - The Optimist / The Skeptic / The Pragmatist — Qwen3.5-27B with persona prompts | |
| - The Historian (retrieval) — small model + web/wiki tool | |
| - **Total budget:** one 27B served via vLLM on Modal + 1B router ≈ under 32B. | |
| - **Delight levers:** live streaming speech bubbles, a "gavel" verdict, shareable transcript card. | |
| ## Pitch B — "Backyard Helpdesk" (Backyard AI) | |
| A multiagent assistant tuned for ONE real person you know (e.g. a parent running an Etsy shop / | |
| a neighbor with a rental). A **triage agent** routes their plain-language request to specialists: | |
| a Writer (listings/replies), a Numbers agent (pricing/tax math via tool), a Scheduler. | |
| - **Why it wins:** Hits Backyard rubric — specific, real person, honest small-model fit. | |
| Requires a real user, which is the gating judging criterion. | |
| - **Agents:** Triage (MiniCPM5-1B) → Writer (Qwen3.5-27B) / Calc (small + Python tool) / | |
| Organizer. Tool use is the small-model leverage. | |
| - **Risk:** needs a committed real user who'll actually use it during the window. | |
| ## Pitch C — "Thousand Token Wood: The Game" (Thousand Token Wood) | |
| A tiny text-adventure where the **world is run by cooperating agents**: a Narrator, a | |
| World-State keeper (enforces rules via tools, prevents hallucinated inventory), and a | |
| Mischief agent that injects surprises. You wander a procedurally-described wood. | |
| - **Why it wins:** On-theme name, AI is the experience, strong originality. World-State | |
| agent solves the classic "LLM forgets the rules" problem — a real multiagent justification. | |
| - **Agents:** Narrator (Qwen3.5-27B) + World-State (MiniCPM5-1B, strict JSON tool calls) + | |
| Mischief (Gemma 4, low-frequency). Optional MiniCPM-V for "look at this drawing" inputs. | |
| --- | |
| ## Recommendation | |
| **Pitch A (The Council)** for the cleanest delight-per-effort and the best multiagent | |
| justification, with **Pitch B** as the pivot if you have a willing real user (better cash-prize | |
| odds, since Backyard's bar is "they actually used it"). Both reuse the same orchestration code. | |

| ## ✅ Chosen direction: DAYDREAM | |
| After exploring real-problem and funny fleets, we converged on a **dreamlike, | |
| game-like fleet** (Calvin-&-Hobbes energy): a companion + shifting environments + | |
| light mission, where dream-logic forgives small-model quirks. See README. | |
