SIA: an agent runtime that moves reliability into the system around small local models
TYKAIRO-AI · reddit · 2026-10-07
Unable to run large models locally, the developer behind TYKAIRO-AI asked a different question: how much more capable can a small model get with a better system around it? The result is SIA, an agent runtime adding structured planning, tool routing with schema validation, pre-completion verification, bounded repair/retry, context management, failure-pattern detection, and cost telemetry. It's being incrementally tested on small local models with real failure cases, and the author is soliciting input on where agent reliability breaks first.
