Show HN: Hollow is an open-sourced self-modifying agentic system (github.com)

Pretty please ask Claude to start with benchmarks that measure your approach against other approaches. I did read all and only found:

Selected numbers from live system runs:

Scenario , Naive shell approach , Hollow API , Savings

Code search , 21636 tokens , 987 tokens , 95%

Agent drift (cons. rate) , 35% (cold start) , 70% (with handoff) , 2x

That is a lot less than enough to justify a git clone.

I remember the idea of "swear at the LLM to get better results" and I even think it somewhat worked, at least for a while.

This is probably how we'll end up with a HAL9000 burning the world to the ground.
