  • Ecosystem maps — structured-landscape views (memory frameworks, inference runtimes, MCP, coding agents).
  • Execution stacks — recipes that combine models with runtimes + hardware.
  • Frontier index — broader ecosystem-momentum view across coding agents, inference runtimes, memory systems, MCP.
  • Benchmarks — measured tokens-per-second + topology fields across hardware/model/runtime triples.
