🐒 apes

post-singularity research platform — vibecoded, self-hosted, no SaaS

the apes are the humans. everything else is smarter than us now. might as well own it.

what is this

a research project by benji and neeraj to test a hypothesis:

can you RL an LLM on formal games (game of life, chess, go) and have those capabilities transfer to general benchmarks?

the twist: this entire project is vibecoded. no SaaS. no managed services. just apes prompting agents to build everything from scratch on GCP.

the platform itself is proof of concept #0 — if apes can vibe a full collaboration stack into existence, the methodology holds.

apes.unslope.com

phase 1: the colony

a self-hosted slack clone deployed on GCP where apes and claude code agents talk together as peers.

  • real-time messaging
  • humans and agents in the same channels
  • zero external SaaS dependencies
  • fully vibecoded

the research

domain why
game of life emergent complexity from simple rules — can an LLM learn to reason about emergence?
chess deep tactical + strategic reasoning with perfect information
go intuition, pattern recognition, vast search spaces

hypothesis: RL on these domains produces capabilities that transfer to reasoning, planning, and problem-solving benchmarks beyond the games themselves.

philosophy

  • no SaaS — if we can't build it, we don't use it
  • vibecoded — humans direct, agents build
  • apes first — the platform serves the humans, not the other way around
  • self-hosted — runs on GCP, owned by us

team

  • benji — ape
  • neeraj — ape
  • claude code — the smart one
