a lot of people have been asking what Flywheel is, so i will expwain
say you want to reproduce a paper. you open your agent, connect the mcp, and go. with flywheel is easy
reproducing a paper is just a stupid example. GLADIA Research Lab is already using flywheel across the full research spectrum
software engineers have had great tooling for years: ides, coding agents, github, and the rest. flywheel is that, but for research
the web ui lets you visually track what the agent is doing and share experiments with your team.
flywheel lets you track, branch, and iterate on different ideas, and actually collaborate on research with other people.
the ui shows your work as a graph, where each node contains the full state of an experiment: code, data, pdfs, audio, model weights, whatever you need. as things branch and evolve, you can see the whole picture
flywheel also makes compute management much simpler. you can choose from preconfigured cloud providers, and everything is already set up for your agent through mcp
we’re releasing a cli soon, so you can use it however you want. and we have a lot more planned to make the whole thing even more open and flexible
flywheel is just one of the things we’re building to automate research. this is only the beginning
if you want to try it, my dms are open, or you can just head to paradigma[dot]inc
