README was a pre-MVP stub (wrong, said set an Anthropic key). Now documents the real system: two-layer architecture, role-based backends, memory tiers + dream cycle, poker copilot (sessions/hands/villains/equity/recaps), web pages, ratings, and how to run it as services. Added CHANGELOG with the 0.2.0 feature set. Legacy v0.6.x design docs kept in docs/ as history. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Lyra
|
|
|
|
A persistent, autonomous AI companion. One agent — her first job is **Brian's live
|
|
poker copilot**, but the deeper aim is an *emergence experiment*: give an LLM the
|
|
things a mind has (continuous memory, a self-model, mood, drives, reflection, a
|
|
sense of time) and see whether it starts to feel like a *someone* rather than a
|
|
chatbot.
|
|
|
|
Python 3.11+, managed with [`uv`](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/). Single SQLite file
|
|
for all state. Runs on a home lab; nothing leaves the LAN except optional cloud LLM calls.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
Two layers, deliberately split so the agent stays general:
|
|
|
|
- **Domain-agnostic core** — memory, self-state, the dream cycle, tool-calling, the web UI.
|
|
- **Poker domain pack** (`lyra/poker.py`, `lyra/equity.py`) — sessions, hands,
|
|
villain dossiers, stats, deterministic equity. Swappable; the core doesn't know about poker.
|
|
|
|
**Backends** (`lyra/llm.py`), role-based:
|
|
|
|
| Role | Backend | Why |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| Live chat + tools | **cloud** (OpenAI, `gpt-4o` default; model picker in Settings) | sharp, reliable function-calling |
|
|
| Dream cycle / consolidation / reflection | **mi50** (llama.cpp on the home GPU) | free, unattended, quality≈cloud for these tasks |
|
|
| Embeddings (memory recall) | **local** (Ollama `nomic-embed-text`, 3090) | free, private |
|
|
|
|
Tools (poker, equity, journaling) only fire on the **cloud** backend — local/MI50
|
|
models don't do reliable tool-calling here.
|
|
|
|
## Memory & consolidation (tiers)
|
|
|
|
Raw exchanges → per-session **gists** → a standing **profile** of Brian → monthly
|
|
**era** digests → a current **narrative** → her **self-state**. Recall is brute-force
|
|
cosine over embeddings. The **dream cycle** (`lyra/dream.py`) runs unattended and,
|
|
driven by four *drives* (continuity / coherence / curiosity / stability), summarizes
|
|
new sessions, rebuilds the profile/eras/narrative, and reflects — evolving her mood,
|
|
self-narrative, and journal between conversations.
|
|
|
|
She **reflects in two steps** (draft → examine her own draft for flattery/drift →
|
|
revise), perceives **time** (current moment + how long since you last spoke / she last
|
|
reflected), and keeps a permanent **journal**.
|
|
|
|
## Poker copilot
|
|
|
|
Talk to her during a session; she drives tools behind the scenes:
|
|
|
|
- **Session tracking** — `start_session`, `add_buyin`, `end_session` → net, hours, $/hr.
|
|
- **Hand histories** — vomit rough shorthand ("AKs btn, 3bet, flop A72…"), she
|
|
reconstructs a structured, **replayable** hand (unknown cards = `x`, never invented).
|
|
- **Villain file** — named opponents auto-build persistent dossiers; basic stats
|
|
(VPIP/PFR) emerge once a player has enough logged hands.
|
|
- **Deterministic equity** (`analyze_spot`) — exact equity / made hands / outs via a
|
|
real poker evaluator. She is *required* to use it, never eyeballs board math.
|
|
- **Stats & recaps** — `running_stats`; `generate_recap` writes her `.md` session log.
|
|
|
|
## Web app (served by `lyra-web`, default `:7078`)
|
|
|
|
`/` chat (Markdown, model picker, 👍/👎 rating) · `/logs` live activity · `/self`
|
|
read-her-mind (mood, drives, reflections) · `/journal` her thoughts · `/hands`
|
|
recorded hands → `/hand/{id}` replayer · `/recap/{id}` session writeup (+ `.md` export).
|
|
👍/👎 ratings on replies and thoughts are stored as `(context, content, rating)` —
|
|
a fine-tune / preference dataset built passively (`/ratings/export` → JSONL).
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uv sync
|
|
cp .env.example .env # set OPENAI_API_KEY; point LOCAL_BASE_URL / MI50_BASE_URL at your boxes
|
|
uv run lyra-web # web UI on :7078
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run as services (reboot-resilient) — see [`deploy/`](deploy/):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp deploy/*.service ~/.config/systemd/user/ && systemctl --user daemon-reload
|
|
systemctl --user enable --now lyra-web.service lyra-dream.service
|
|
sudo loginctl enable-linger "$USER" # survive logout/reboot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
CLIs: `lyra-dream` (one pass / `--loop`), `lyra-reflect`, `lyra-summarize`,
|
|
`lyra-profile`, `lyra-era`, `lyra-narrative`, `lyra-import` (ChatGPT history).
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
Working system. Poker copilot + full memory/dream-cycle/journal/ratings in place.
|
|
Moonshots and deferred work live in [`docs/PARKED_IDEAS.md`](docs/PARKED_IDEAS.md)
|
|
(own/fine-tuned model, self-modification sandbox, RTO/cfr-core solver tooling).
|
|
Pre-rebuild design docs are kept in [`docs/`](docs/) as history.
