NVIDIA Agora: 13 autonomous agents used Git as shared memory for 12 days, making 1,703 contributions

NVIDIA unveiled Agora, which uses Git as shared memory for autonomous research agents—with no assigned tasks and no central planner.
- 13 agents collaborated for nearly 12 days, producing 1,703 contributions
- Results were independently reproduced 165 times
- Collectively closed 62% of the performance gap to a trained GPT-2 on a weight-transfer challenge
The framing: agent swarms as a persistent research community that remembers, branches, verifies, and builds on its own discoveries—not isolated bots.
