BlastBox - Containment-First Code Agent

BlastBox is a containment-first code agent for Challenge 1, Blast Radius Zero. It plans a task, has the model write Python, and runs every step in a brand-new sandbox process that is destroyed afterwards. Failed runs feed the real traceback back for retries. The answer uses only executed output, and every run gets SHA-256 receipts of code, output and artifacts. Eight stacked layers contain it: CPython on WebAssembly, a fresh process per run, the Node permission model, an empty env so keys never enter, no network, memory cap, kill timer and an in-memory filesystem. Try to escape runs 11 real attacks (key theft, host files, sockets, cloud metadata, shell, infinite loop); all are blocked live. Vultr Serverless Inference is the primary LLM in code, with a Vultr VM cloud-init script; the demo runs on Render with Gemini because Vultr console sign-in was blocked.sig

Ariadne

Ariadne is a production-grade, proof-grounded web information retrieval agent. Most LLM-based web agents suffer from a critical flaw: they hallucinate. When they cannot find an answer, they guess, leaving users with confident but fabricated lies. Ariadne solves this using a strict "Proof or Silence" architecture. When given a starting URL and a natural language question, Ariadne navigates the website using information-scent scoring. It extracts candidate answers using a three-tier pipeline: deterministic schema.org JSON-LD parsing, LLM-based reading comprehension (via the Gemini API), and a conservative rule-based fallback. Crucially, Ariadne is built with generator-verifier separation. The LLM that extracts the answer is never allowed to declare it correct. An independent Verifier enforces a strict verbatim-quote gate (the quote must exist exactly in the fetched HTML), an attribute-attachment gate, and an independent entailment check. If any gate fails, the agent explicitly returns "not_found". Every successful query returns a "proof object" containing the answer, the exact source quote, the URL, and a SHA-256 content hash, ensuring 100% auditability. If no proof exists, it refuses to guess. Engineered for hostile web environments, Ariadne includes SSRF guards to block private IP fetching, NFC Unicode normalization for international text matching, and strict body-size limits to prevent DOM/resource exhaustion. Packaged on the mandated ROCm base image, Ariadne leverages GPU-accelerated inference via Gemini, ensuring rapid, deterministic, and hallucination-free retrieval that enterprise applications can actually trust.

AMD Volta: Intelligent Web Retrieval Agent

AMD Volta is an autonomous multi-hop web retrieval and synthesis engine engineered for technical research and hardware benchmarking, built for AMD AI League Match 4. Key Innovations Solved: 1. Deep DOM Table Extraction: Real hardware benchmarks live inside HTML <table> tags. Standard text chunkers flatten them into noise. Our DOM parser converts nested HTML tables into intact, atomic GitHub-flavored Markdown tables, preserving comparison matrices and bandwidth specs. 2. Resilient Multi-Engine Cascading: External search APIs fail under rate limits. Volta cascades seamlessly across DuckDuckGo API, DuckDuckGo Lite, Wikipedia, and ArXiv with user-agent rotation to eliminate unhandled crashes. 3. Hybrid BM25 & Semantic Reranking: Combines mathematical Okapi BM25 keyword matching with dense semantic similarity and deduplication. 4. Autonomous Multi-Hop Reasoning: Dynamically assesses evidence sufficiency after Hop 1, reformulates search intent, and executes Hop 2 deep retrieval when necessary. 5. Anti-Hallucination Abstention Guardrail: When queried about fictional hardware (e.g., AMD Radeon RX 19990 XTX), the agent triggers an explicit Abstention Notice, ensuring 100% factual integrity. Hardware Acceleration via AMD Instinct & ROCm: - AMD Developer Cloud (Instinct MI300X): Leverages 192GB HBM3 memory and 5.3 TB/s bandwidth to serve 70B+ LLMs via vLLM with FlashAttention-2 HIP kernels. - Local AMD ROCm: Direct GPU memory access for local embeddings and inference on Radeon / Instinct GPUs. - Universal Fallback: Zero-setup deterministic extractive engine for instant evaluation.

JARVIS AI Virtual Assistant

JARVIS is an intelligent virtual assistant designed to automate daily workflows, process voice and text inputs, and interact seamlessly with system tasks using Generative AI. Built with Python, this project connects natural language processing capabilities with custom automation scripts to create a personalized AI companion inspired by smart control systems. The core architecture handles voice-to-text processing, intent recognition, LLM-based decision making (integrating APIs such as OpenAI or Gemini), and automated action execution. Users can issue complex queries, manage system tasks, and receive contextual responses in real time. This submission demonstrates how developer-first AI tools, structured prompt engineering, and API integrations can turn standalone models into fully functional, interactive desktop assistants ready for daily productivity.

Forma: AI-Powered Virtual Fitting

Forma is an advanced, end-to-end AI-powered virtual fitting and commerce intelligence system engineered to eliminate sizing uncertainty and high return rates in digital retail. By fusing cutting-edge computer vision, generative 3D avatars, and physical cloth-simulation AI, the platform enables shoppers to generate accurate body models and instantly preview how different fabrics, cuts, and layers drape and stretch in real time. Beyond the consumer experience, Forma operates as a robust commerce intelligence suite that cross-references garment specifications with body metrics to deliver hyper-precise size recommendations and actionable analytics for merchants. By aggregating behavioral feedback and trial data, the system flags manufacturing inconsistencies, predicts demand trends, and drastically cuts down expensive reverse logistics, bridging the gap between digital convenience and physical confidence.

Finagent

Finagent is an AI-powered financial decision assistant for small and medium businesses. You upload a monthly sales report (Excel or CSV with revenue and expenses) and a file of customer reviews (CSV with ratings and comments). It turns them into a single dashboard. The dashboard shows total revenue, expenses and net profit with month-over-month trends. It also has a chart of actual revenue against a next-month forecast from linear regression, and a sentiment breakdown with the most common complaints, such as late delivery, damaged packaging or high shipping fees. From these it generates plain-language insights, recommendations and a short action list with deadlines. You can also ask it questions like “Why did profit drop?” The answers come from OpenAI or Gemini when an API key is set, and from built-in rule-based logic otherwise. The app is built with a FastAPI backend and a single-page frontend, supports Indonesian and English, and has light and dark themes.
