Bitter Research Nexus

Mapping the compute and software frontiers.

This dataset is part of Bitter auto-research into scalable AI systems: source-backed records, machine-readable exports, reviewable evidence, and update loops for tracking where compute capacity is actually being built.

Bitter starts from the Bitter Lesson: general methods that scale with compute, including search and learning, tend to win. Understanding the compute substrate is therefore strategic work, not trivia.

The index is built to remove human bottlenecks: public sources become normalized records, coverage checks, exports, and reports instead of one-off research notes.

Agent software frontierBitter FrontierSource-backed field notes on coding agents, harnesses, operating policy, permissions, evidence, and what serious builders should test next.Operating layerBitter.shThe agent-ready operating base for building and improving software systems with receipts, deploys, checkout, memory, and governed work loops.
