HIVE: a bee-colony-inspired multi-agent research system, open-sourced
BeesAndBytes · reddit · 2026-10-10
A developer open-sourced HIVE (Hive Inspired Virtual Entity), a bee-colony-inspired multi-agent research system designed to sift through questions where LLMs may all agree but be wrong.
- Nine forager agents examine a question from angles like risk, evidence, history and ethics, seeing each other's work
- A queen agent writes one verdict with a confidence value
- Shared memory (the comb) persists findings; guard bees prevent assumptions or unknowns from being stated as guarantees
- Relies on verified whitepapers via unpaywall and DOI search
- Runs locally via ollama (qwen3.6:35b), built on an M1 Max 64GB; 4B/8B models still struggle with the tool-calling chain
