Just published a new blog!: https://huggingface.co/blog/unmodeled-tyler/vessel-browser-for-agents

I do a lightweight overview of the open source AI-native browser I've been building called Vessel Browser!

It recently passed 50 stars on Github, and I tremendously appreciate everyone that's given it a try so far! I'm in it for the long haul with Vessel Browser so expect many, many more improvements to come.

If you'd like to check out the repo: https://github.com/unmodeled-tyler/vessel-browser

Finally just wrapped up a comparative analysis of my new open source AI browser, Vessel, against Claude Chrome from Anthropic.

The test evaluates both web navigation harnesses for speed and efficiency on a simple real-world e-commerce task. Opus 4.6 was used for each of the 3 evaluations, and the results show that Opus 4.6 was AT LEAST 2X FASTER when using Vessel Browser for web navigation in place of Claude Chrome.

Results (in order, fastest to slowest)

1. Claude Code + Vessel Browser: 3 minutes and 10s

2. Hermes Agent + Vessel Browser: 4 minutes and 13s

3. Claude Code + Claude Chrome: 7 minutes and 57s

Vessel Browser is open source, designed explicitly for agents from the ground-up (it is not a fork of a human browser with AI features bolted on), and supports a local MCP server for agent control, or BYOK custom OAI endpoints. Check it out for yourself!

Hey Hugging Face!

PRODUCT HUNT LINK: https://www.producthunt.com/products/quanta-intellect?utm_source=other&utm_medium=social

I've been sharing my new AI browser Vessel the last few days and I've gotten some great feedback/interest from a lot of you!

I'm excited to announce that Vessel Browser is now live on Product Hunt! If this is the first you've heard of it, check it out! Vessel is an open source AI browser built specifically for agents on Linux. It's not a fork of an existing browser, and it doesn't assume that the human is the primary operator.

If you've already tried Vessel Browser, feel free to leave a review on Product Hunt of what you thought - or if you'd prefer, send me an email directly or reach out on twitter if you have any questions about it. I'm perpetually online & happy to chat 😀

I'm committed to building the best open source AI browser out there, and Vessel is only going to improve as time goes on!

PSA: LiteLLM has been compromised on PyPI - if you have it installed, CHECK NOW.

LiteLLM is used as a dependency in A LOT of AI tooling, so there's a pretty good chance that you have it installed somewhere on your machine (my instance was part of Hermes Agent, but I was unaffected by the hack)

Versions 1.82.7 & 1.82.8 on PyPI have been compromised with a multi-stage credential stealer.

- Version 1.82.8 uses a .pth file that executes on EVERY python process startup. You don't even need to import litellm. Just having it installed is enough.
- The payload harvests SSH keys, .env files, AWS/GCP/Azure credentials, Kubernetes configs, database passwords, crytpo wallets, shell history - basically every secret on your machine.
- Stolen data is encrypted with a hardcoded RSA key and exfiltrated to a domain that is NOT part of a legitimate litellm infrastructure.
- If you're running Kubernetes, it attempts lateral movement across the entire cluster.
- The C2 is hosted on the Internet Computer blockchain, making it essentially impossible to take down.

This is part of a coordinated campaign by a threat actor called TeamPCP who have also hit Trivy (Aqua Security), Checkmarx KICS, and multiple npm packages in the last week ALONE.

What to do:

1. Run 'pip show litellm' in every environment you have
2. If you're on 1.82.7 or 1.82.8 - rotate EVERY secret on that machine immediately.
3. Check for persistence artifacts ~/.config/sysmon/sysmon.py & ~/.config/systemd/user/sysmon.service

I was lucky in this case that my litellm version was out of date, but if you've installed litellm as a dependency in ANY package within the last 24ish hours, you're gonna want to check.

Here's a demo of Vessel Browser in action!

Minimax M2.7 was challenged with navigating to a large Ecom site, curate a selection of 5 different products, and add them all to the cart with included reasoning behind choices. (or try it yourself - open source, MIT license, and BYOK!)
npm i @quanta-intellect/vessel-browser

Vessel is a browser that I've been working on which is designed specifically for agents with human-in-the-loop visibility. It comes with a local MCP server allowing any harness that supports custom MCP to control the browser. Additionally, you can BYOK to 8+ different providers (including custom OAI compatible endpoints and local models).

One of my favorite features of the browser is persistent, bi-directional highlighting - meaning that both you AND the agent can highlight anything on the screen and the agent receives the context.

Vessel Browser is unique in that it surfaces available tools contextually to the agent, meaning the agent doesn't have to decide between 80+ tools at any given time, but rather is focused on a subset of tools most applicable to the current state.

Give it a try!

Hey Hugging Face!

It's been quiet from me over here for the last few weeks, but I've been busy building! I just submitted my project to the Hermes Agent Hackathon, and wanted to share it with all of you.

This is Vessel Browser - an AI-native web browser that runs locally on Linux, and is operated by your personal AI agent via MCP server. Vessel is built from the ground up around the agent as first-class and visible UI for human-in-the-loop with 3 different levels of permissions.

Your agent finds, reads, and organizes the web for you, based on what you actually care about - not what a platform's algorithm thinks you care about.

Once your agent finds what it's looking for, it can organize bookmarked pages into custom folders with summaries for later browsing, take screenshots with highlighted text, and integrate with Obsidian for long-term browsing related-memory.

Check it out!

Link to Repo: https://github.com/unmodeled-tyler/thought-tracer

I had a great time at Mistral's Hackathon in SF over the weekend! There were a lot of incredibly talented builders there and it was an honor to be a part of it! 😄

I built Thought Tracer - a TUI-based logitlens application for Ministral 3B/8B with optional AI analysis from Mistral Large on the Mistral API.

Thought Tracer allows you to see what the model "believes" at each layer until it arrives at it's final next token prediction. The Entropy tab displays entropy through each layer, additionally providing both token-level and prompt-level risk for hallucination.

If you have a Mistral API key, the AI analysis section is actually pretty cool because it's returned in rendered markdown and easily understandable language - providing a commentary on how the model likely arrived at it's final prediction, and also offering diagnostics for model developers. This commentary actually makes the tool pretty beginner friendly to anyone interested in exploring AI research tools for the first time.

Check it out if you're interested!

New Article: https://huggingface.co/blog/unmodeled-tyler/how-we-learned-to-talk-to-machines

I was inspired by a single word in a Mac terminal prompt recently; "we."

The result is a bit of a journey through computational culture and history where we explore collaborative software design from the earliest computing systems to modern day AI systems.

I discuss how Large Language Models and collaborative AI interaction as we experience it today are a natural evolution in a long lineage of tools that came before; each compounding on last.

From CLI tools in the 60s-70s, to Clippy, to ChatGPT. I trace the history of "machines with a voice." Check it out!

NEW MODEL: vanta-research/PE-Type-1-Vera-4B

PE-Type-1-Vera-4B is the first release in Project Enneagram, a VANTA Research initiative exploring the nuances of persona design in AI models.

Built on the Gemma 3 4B architecture, Vera embodies the Type 1 Enneagram profile; The Reformer—characterized by principled rationality, self-control, and a relentless pursuit of improvement.

Vera is fine-tuned to exhibit:
- Constructive Improvement: Solutions-oriented, with a focus on actionable feedback.
- Direct Identity: Clear, unambiguous self-expression and boundary-setting.
- Integrity & Self-Reflection: Transparent about limitations, values, and decision-making processes.
- Quality & Precision: Meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to high standards.

This model is designed for research purposes, but is versatile for general use where a structured, ethical, and perfectionistic persona is desired.

Type 2 coming soon!

*A note for the sake of transparency, this post originally included a variant of Vera trained on Ministral 3 3B - that model is still available, but for the purposes of this project, the base architecture was swapped out for Gemma 3.

NEW MODEL: vanta-research/mox-small-1

Mox-Small-1 has landed on the Hub!

Finetuned from the fantastic Olmo3.1 32B architecture by AllenAI, Mox-Small-1 was trained using the same datasets and methodology as Mox-Tiny-1, making this model our second addition to the Mox-1 family of models.

Mox-1 is designed to prioritize clarity, honesty, and genuine utility over blind agreement. These models are perfect for when you want to be challenged in a constructive, helpful way.

By utilizing Olmo3.1 32B's architecture, Mox-Small-1 brings greater conversational depth and reasoning quality to the Mox-1 model family. Check it out!

NEW MODEL: vanta-research/mox-tiny-1

Excited to share the first model from the new Mox-1 model family from VANTA Research!

Mox-Tiny-1 is finetuned from Llama's 3.1 8B architecture specifically for thinking partnership and high-fidelity AI interaction.

Training domains were carefully selected with this goal in mind, and all datasets used were synthetically generated for the Mox-1 models specifically.

Domains include but not limited to:
- Direct opinions (clear stances on various topics)
- Constructive disagreement (Pushing back on flawed premises)
- Epistemic confidence (calibrated certainty and uncertainty)
- Warmth & presence (Empathetic, human responses)
- Wonder & puzzlement (Intellectual curiosity)

Interaction Examples:

Direct opinions:
User: What's the best programming language?
Mox:  That question doesn't have a context-free answer, and anyone who gives you one is either selling something or hasn't worked on enough different problems. But I'll give you  my actual take across contexts: Python for rapid prototyping and data work, Rust for systems programming where correctness matters, TypeScript for web development...

Warmth & Humor:
User: I've been debugging this issue for six hours. 
Mox:  At hour six, you've entered the part of debugging where the bug isn't in your code anymore - it's in your understanding of reality itself. The semicolon starts looking suspicious. Show me what you're dealing with. Fresh eyes help, and mine haven't been staring at it since lunch.

Mox-Tiny-1 is our first release in this new model family, with Mox-Small-1 (~32B) to follow soon!

Hey Hugging Face! I just wanted to share something I've been working on lately. This is Continuum, an app that started as a regular chat interface but quickly spiraled into much more!

The left panel contains settings, different project workspaces with associated chat sessions, and the model drop down menu.

The middle panel is the chat window with engaging color schemes for italics or bold characters.

The right panel is the "Loom" - a collaborative document workspace for the AI model and the user to work together in markdown with a live preview toggle switch.

The Loom supports differential edits allowing the user to reject, approve, or edit each model change/addition. Right now, Continuum will support BYOK, OAI compatible endpoints, and local models served through ollama/llama.cpp

It's still very much a work in progress but I'm really happy with how it's coming along so far. I'm excited to share this demo with all of you when it's ready!

NEW MODEL: vanta-research/mox-8b

Hey everyone! I changed up my approach with this one a bit. Mox was designed with the following characteristics:

- self coherence
- direct opinions
- epistemic confidence
- grounded meta-awareness
- reasoned refusals

I've been thinking a lot about what "helpfulness" means lately. Commonly in AI, that looks like fulfilling user requests as closely as possible as long as the request isn't unsafe.

But I wanted to know what it was like to build a model that might be helpful in the same way a human would be.

For example, if you ask Mox to write a 10 page paper on the cultural significance of staplers, Mox will probably refuse, tell you that wouldn't be useful or helpful to ANYBODY and recommend a different, but more useful approach.

Mox is still very much a work in progress, but I think that this is a good starting point! I'm already generating more datasets to add more elements to Mox's persona in future versions, which you should see on the hub soon!

Happy New Year, Hugging Face!

It's been a crazy year for me! This year I launched VANTA Research as a solo operator and managed to push out 14 original open source finetunes and 5 datasets in the span of about 4 months, completely on my own.

The reception has been much higher than I ever anticipated and sincerely appreciate everyone that's checked out my work thus far.

The good news is, I'm just getting started! In 2026 you can expect even more original models from VANTA Research, more open source datasets, and maybe some other cool things as well? 👀

2026 is gonna be big for AI in general, and I can't wait to experience it with all of you!
