Flywheel is pitched as "GitHub/IDEs for research"

Brief

Flywheel is pitched as "GitHub/IDEs for research": a platform for running agent-driven research, managing compute, and collaborating on branching experiments. The post emphasizes a visual graph-based UI that preserves complete experiment state, claims active use by GLADIA Research Lab, and previews a forthcoming CLI as part of a broader effort by Paradigma to automate research workflows.

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
