Mallana: AI Runtime for Autonomous Development

Mallana: AI Runtime for Autonomous Development

Mallana is an open-source platform designed to make autonomous AI development practical on consumer hardware. Today's coding agents are powerful but extremely inefficient. They repeatedly reload context, waste GPU memory, lose long-term reasoning, and require expensive cloud infrastructure for sustained software engineering tasks. Mallana addresses these limitations by building a complete runtime for AI agents instead of another chat interface. The project combines multiple research directions into a unified architecture: • Hardware-aware inference capable of adapting to different GPU vendors and memory constraints. • Context optimization through compression and intelligent retrieval, allowing agents to preserve relevant knowledge while dramatically reducing context usage. • Efficient memory management using techniques such as Paged Attention and optimized KV Cache handling, enabling larger models to run on limited VRAM. • Autonomous orchestration, allowing multiple specialized agents to collaborate on software engineering tasks while maintaining shared project knowledge. • Local-first execution, giving developers full ownership of their code, models and data without depending on cloud providers. Mallana is being designed as an extensible open ecosystem rather than a single application. Every optimization developed for the platform benefits any future AI workflow, from code generation to research automation, embedded systems, telecommunications and scientific computing. For the AMD Developer Challenge, we plan to leverage AMD hardware acceleration to further improve inference performance and memory efficiency, making advanced AI development accessible on affordable consumer GPUs. Ultimately, Mallana aims to become the operating system for AI software engineers: an open platform where intelligent agents continuously improve themselves while helping developers build better software.

Sentinel

Sentinel

Sentinel is an autonomous, multi-agent architecture review system designed for regulated and high-stakes enterprise environments. In industries like finance, healthcare, and insurance, deploying new technical workflows requires rigorous scrutiny across multiple domains—security, compliance, and IT governance. Manual reviews are often massive bottlenecks. Sentinel solves this by orchestrating a team of specialized AI agents through the Band collaboration layer to autonomously debate, audit, and score technical proposals. Built specifically for Track 3 (Regulated & High-Stakes Workflows), Sentinel goes beyond simple linear automation or thin API wrappers by utilizing Band as a true shared interaction layer. The workflow is managed by the Conductor agent, which ingests technical architecture documents and coordinates the room. The Harness agent injects historical company policies and compliance baselines directly into the shared workspace. Operating in parallel, the Adversary aggressively red-teams the architecture for critical security flaws (such as prompt injection vulnerabilities in LLM execution flows), while the Guardian audits for regulatory violations (such as GDPR or SOC2 data handling failures). Because these agents operate within a shared Band chat room, they do not work in silos. Once the specialized audits are complete, the Evaluator reads the room's context to synthesize the distinct flags into a cohesive architectural review. Finally, the RiskScorer processes this evaluation to generate a definitive, quantitative risk matrix and an automated approve/escalate decision payload. By demonstrating real agent-to-agent collaboration, role specialization, complex context exchange, and task handoffs, Sentinel proves that multi-agent systems can handle complex, regulated decision-making safely, transparently, and efficiently.
