<p>We've been working on some exciting things with SymbolicAI and here a few things which might interest the HN community.<p>Two years ago, we built a benchmark to evaluate multistep reasoning, tool use, and logical capabilities in language models. It includes a quality measure to assess performance and is built on a plugin system we developed for SymbolicAI.<p>- Benchmark & Plugin System: <a href="https://github.com/ExtensityAI/benchmark">https://github.com/ExtensityAI/benchmark</a><p>- Example Eval: <a href="https://github.com/ExtensityAI/benchmark/blob/main/src/evals/eval_computation_graphs.py#L250">https://github.com/ExtensityAI/benchmark/blob/main/src/evals...</a><p>We've also implemented some interesting concepts in our framework:
- C#-style Extension Methods in Python: Using GlobalSymbolPrimitive to extend functionalities.<p><pre><code>    - https://github.com/ExtensityAI/benchmark/blob/main/src/func.py#L146
</code></pre>
- Symbolic <> Sub-symbolic Conversion: And using this for quality metrics, like a reward signal from the path integral of multistep generations.
    - <a href="https://github.com/ExtensityAI/benchmark/blob/main/src/func.py#L144">https://github.com/ExtensityAI/benchmark/blob/main/src/func....</a><p>For fun, we integrated LLM-based tools into a customizable shell. Check out the Rick & Morty-styled rickshell:<p>- RickShell: <a href="https://github.com/ExtensityAI/rickshell">https://github.com/ExtensityAI/rickshell</a><p>We were also among the first to generate a full research paper from a single prompt and continue to push the boundaries of AI-generated research:<p>- End-to-End Paper Generation (Examples): <a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vUg2Y7TgZRRiaPzC83pQIE-pynsznjV6" rel="nofollow">https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1vUg2Y7TgZRRiaPzC83pQ...</a><p>- Recent AI Research Generation:<p><pre><code>    - Three-Body Problem: https://github.com/ExtensityAI/three-body_problem

Finally, for those interested in building similar services, we've had an open-source, MCP-like API endpoint service available for over a year:<p>- SymbolicAI API: <a href="https://github.com/ExtensityAI/symbolicai/blob/main/symai/endpoints/api.py">https://github.com/ExtensityAI/symbolicai/blob/main/symai/en...</a></p>
