Why Incorporated is a general-purpose AI agent built for the AMD Developer Hackathon, designed to handle eight distinct capability domains: factual knowledge, mathematical reasoning, sentiment classification, text summarisation, named entity recognition, code debugging, logical/deductive reasoning, and code generation. Rather than routing every task to a remote model, Why Incorporated runs a lightweight local classifier first, using deterministic pattern matching with an LLM fallback for ambiguous prompts. Each task is then handled by a small local model (Qwen2.5 3B, sized to fit a 4GB RAM / 2 vCPU environment) whenever the category and a multi-signal confidence check (answer validity, structural format matching, and self-consistency across resampled generations) indicate the local model is likely to succeed. Only when local confidence falls below a category-specific threshold does the agent escalate to a Fireworks AI model, selected dynamically from the allowed model list based on live metadata (parameter count, tool support, MoE architecture, coding specialization). For mathematical and code-related tasks, deterministic tool-based solvers run before any model call, resolving simple cases entirely for free. This hybrid design is built around the competition's actual scoring mechanics: local inference is unlimited and free, while every Fireworks token counts against the submission's efficiency rank. Why Incorporated is designed to clear the accuracy gate using local-first inference wherever safely possible, and to fall back to remote reasoning only where it materially improves correctness — treating every remote call as a deliberate, justified spend rather than a default.

Welcome to Bandwidth (originally conceptualized for the Band of Agents Hackathon). Bandwidth is a multi-agent AI orchestration framework designed to revolutionize the software development lifecycle. By treating specialized AI models like members of a synchronized musical band, Bandwidth delegates complex engineering tasks to a unified digital development team. What is Bandwidth? Modern software development requires juggling architecture, coding, debugging, and testing. Bandwidth acts as the "conductor," managing a suite of specialized AI coding agents that work in parallel. Instead of relying on a single AI assistant to do everything sequentially, you deploy a full "band" where each agent is an expert in its specific domain—whether that's writing front-end components, optimizing database queries, or generating robust unit tests. Key Features - Multi-Agent Orchestration: Seamlessly coordinate multiple AI agents working on different parts of your codebase simultaneously. - Specialized Agent Roles: Assign specific tasks to dedicated agents (e.g., Lead Developer, QA Tester, DevOps Engineer) to ensure high-quality, focused output. - Automated Synchronization: The central conductor agent ensures that all generated code is harmonized, tested, and ready for deployment without painful conflicts. - Massive Throughput: Dramatically increase your team's development capacity—your "bandwidth"—by offloading boilerplate, testing, and routine feature development to the agent ecosystem. Whether you're a solo developer looking to multiply your output or a startup aiming to eliminate development bottlenecks, Bandwidth provides the framework to build faster, smarter, and perfectly in sync.
