Praktor: a minimal agent framework that lets Grok-4 autonomously download datasets and train
Kyrannio · x · 2026-09-03
Developer Kyrannio shares Praktor, a Grok-4-based agent framework running in Colab that gives the model only two primitives — pip installing packages and writing/running Python scripts — with everything else handled by orchestration.
- Pipeline: Plan → Run → Analyze → Knowledge → Train → Orchestrate → Report
- Grok 4 writes a .py file inside Colab and actually executes it before proceeding
- Demo: the agent autonomously finds and downloads datasets matching target topics (synthetic, tabular, open-license, etc.) and trains on them as needed
- Author plans an update with the latest Grok version
