What it does

Keeps your production open model honest. When a newer model lands in a HuggingFace collection or org you track, an agent pulls the model card, runs your frozen eval harness against both the challenger and the current incumbent, and decides whether the swap is justified. A win opens a GitHub PR that bumps the model id in config; a loss is logged and dropped.

When to use it

Use it when you ship an open model in production and want to adopt better releases fast without trusting vendor leaderboard claims. The fixed eval and margin threshold keep churn low and protect against regressions hiding behind a higher headline score.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule wakes the agent on a daily cadence.
  2. 2It queries HuggingFace for new model versions in the watched org and reads each card's metadata and license.
  3. 3A filter drops anything already evaluated, license-incompatible, or below a parameter/size band.
  4. 4The agent runs the fixed eval suite on the challenger and the incumbent, scoring accuracy, latency, and cost.
  5. 5A branch decides: win by the margin, or stop.
  6. 6On a win it opens a GitHub PR editing the model config plus a scorecard, ready for human review and merge.
