Local-First Cascade Router — Track 1 v3f
This agent handles factual Q&A, math reasoning, sentiment classification, summarization, named entity recognition, code debugging, logical reasoning, and code generation through a three-stage cascade. First, a deterministic solver handles pure arithmetic instantly at zero cost. Second, a small local model (Gemma 3 1B via Ollama, baked into the image) attempts every other task, with per-category verification: cross-sample agreement for math and sentiment, compile checks for code, length constraints for summaries, structural checks for entity extraction. Only answers that pass verification are trusted. Anything unverified or in a category known to need stronger reasoning (logic puzzles, code generation, code debugging, entity extraction) escalates to Fireworks AI, routed to the smallest capable model tier for that category with a tight token budget. Local inference costs zero tokens toward the score, so the agent never spends Fireworks tokens on something the free local model can already prove it got right. On internal testing across all 8 categories, the agent resolves the large majority of tasks locally at zero cost, escalating only when necessary.

BOM Squad: Hardware Procurement Agent Crew
Designing hardware means losing days to sourcing — hunting parts across stores, checking what fits, and balancing a budget by hand. BOM Squad fixes that. You need 10 parts. And mostly none of them are on the same website. Takes a lot of grind, and luck and research, with no guranteee that u wil even ever find it. BOM saves exactly this whole time for you. You describe a build in plain English ("a CoreXY 3D printer, ₹10,000 — I need a 32-bit mainboard, steppers, a hotend, and a PSU"). A crew of specialist agents, coordinating live through Band, takes it from there: • Intake structures your request into clear requirements. • Sourcing searches the live web for real, in-stock parts and prices — and recruits teammates into the room when needed. • A Specialist validates the build-defining component against the rest of the build. • Trust scores each seller for risk. • Budget totals the cart in code; if you're over budget it re-optimizes — swapping the priciest part for a cheaper real alternative until it fits — then hands the decision back to you. • A Replacement Scout is recruited only when a part can't be sourced. • With a lot other re-optimiziations. You approve the premium cart or the budget-fit one, and the order is saved with links to buy every part. The agent does the fetching, Maths to the code, and decision for you. Giving you near Zero Hallucination risk. (occurs cause of AI, sometimes.) Built solo for the BandHack by a mechatronics hobbyist who lived the problem.
