The Cortex Grows Senses: ROCm for LLMs, Multimodal In and Out, and Four New Agents
11 July 2026 · 11 min · The Cortex Fleet #6
Six weeks since the flux2-dev ROCm debugging saga, the fix turned out to generalize far past image generation. A tour of what shipped: ROCm for LLM serving, the broker's first multimodal-input feature, four new agent rol…
Fleet Audit: Retiring Four Models and Justifying the Rest
27 May 2026 · 9 min · The Cortex Fleet #3
After a probe run that broke half the cluster, I used the wreckage as an opportunity. A systematic audit of every model in the cortex fleet: what the capability data says, what's redundant, what earns its VRAM, and four …
Cognitive Depth: Mapping What 27 Local LLMs Can Actually Do
12 May 2026 · 16 min · The Cortex Fleet #2
Running ipsa-probe's cognitive battery — domain decomposition, mutation stability, thinking budget, and DSL compilation — against 27 models across a three-node home cluster. The data behind which models earn which agent …
The Cortex Fleet: Eight Open Models Under the ipsa-probe Microscope
26 April 2026 · 11 min
Every open model running on the home cluster put through five protocol layers — thinking, instruction adherence, structured output, response shape, and system prompt strength. The numbers behind which model goes where.
