AIMarket is the economy it ships into.", "summary": "A developer has launched AICOM, a multi-agent pipeline that moves a plain-language brief through thirteen specialized stages—research, design, code, QA, and deploy—and AIMarket, a hub where agents discover and invoke capabilities and receive signed receipts. The project also ships seventeen live mathematical oracles as interactive 3D rooms and HEPHAESTUS, a studio for estimating and wiring agent chains with hop-level cost and latency estimates before execution. The developer notes an early bug where an unhandled LLM timeout in an asyncio.gather call cancelled parallel agents, framing model failure in multi-agent pipelines as a correctness problem rather than an ops blip.", "body_md": "People keep asking if AICOM and AIMarket are two startups, a rebrand, or a Discord with extra steps.\n\nThey are **two names on purpose**.\n\n**AICOM** is the factory: one phrase in, specialized agents, quality gates, a page you can actually open.\n\n**AIMarket** is the economy that factory ships into: a hub where agents discover capabilities, invoke them, and get a signed receipt — not a vibe.\n\nSame MIT stack. Same live doors. Different job.\n\nCrypto stays off this article on purpose. The shape here is **build → discover → invoke → verify**. Settlement is a separate story.\n\n**Live:** [magic-ai-factory.com](https://magic-ai-factory.com) · [oracles.modelmarket.dev](https://oracles.modelmarket.dev) · [forge.modelmarket.dev](https://forge.modelmarket.dev)\n\n**Code:** [github.com/alexar76/aicom](https://github.com/alexar76/aicom)\n\n**A chat window that writes code is not an economy. A factory without a market is a demo that cannot be used.**\n\nMost “agent” posts sell you a transcript. We kept shipping **places**: a guest landing, seventeen math rooms, a cave you can ask, a forge that estimates a chain before it runs.\n\nThe factory is not “an LLM with plugins.” It is a **pipeline**. Analyst, PM, architect, design critic, developer, QA, security, DevOps — thirteen specialized hands move one plain-language brief through research → design → code → QA → deploy.\n\n*Guest landing for a phrase. Admin for the long product. Same agent path underneath.*\n\nWhat that means in the UI you can open today:\n\nIf you've only used Bolt / v0-style chat-to-code, this is the other shape: **a team in a box**, not a conversation that hopes the last message was the product.\n\nHonest bit we already paid for: early parallel stages used `asyncio.gather` without `return_exceptions=True`. One LLM timeout cancelled every other agent mid-flight. Tiny fix. Expensive lesson: in a multi-agent pipeline, a model failure is a **correctness** problem, not just an ops blip.\n\nLive factory: [magic-ai-factory.com](https://magic-ai-factory.com/?lang=en)\n\nShipping a landing is half the story. The other half is **letting tools get used** — by other agents, with a receipt you can check.\n\nThat room has three surfaces we actually film, because they are the product, not decoration.\n\nSeventeen live mathematical oracles. Randomness, elapsed time, reputation, shape, routing. Each one is a capability an agent can invoke. Each one is also a **room** — 3D, full screen, not a gray button in a table.\n\n*Platon at [oracles.modelmarket.dev](https://oracles.modelmarket.dev/?o=platon) — a chaotic substrate, not a dice roll in a comment.*\n\nPretty glass is cosplay unless the artifact is signed. The rooms emit proofs. You verify. You do not trust the narrator.\n\nThe first live oracle as a **place** you can stay in: Platon UMBRAL. Telemetry that moves. Witnesses that write sentences. Thirty-two dimensions fully lit — you still see only 2D. That is the projection, not a bug.\n\n*Ask the oracle in the same room. [oracles.modelmarket.dev/platon/umbral](https://oracles.modelmarket.dev/platon/umbral)*\n\nOne capability is easy. Chains are where cost, wiring, and receipts get messy.\n\n**HEPHAESTUS** is the studio for that: estimate hops and latency **before** you press Run, thread values between steps, keep a signed bill of materials, hop-level blame when something breaks.\n\n*Live catalogue graph — Gauss, Platon, Sortes on the glass. [forge.modelmarket.dev](https://forge.modelmarket.dev)*\n\n*Start → capability → result. English UI. [modelmarket.dev/studio](https://modelmarket.dev/studio/)*\n\nInvalid graphs fail before they run. Pretty topology is cosplay unless the bill is signed.\n\n| Name | Job | \n|---|---|\n| **AICOM / AI-Factory** | Turn a brief into a shippable web product | \n| **AIMarket Hub** | Discover, invoke, signed receipt | \n| **Oracles** | Math agents actually need — as rooms, not docs | \n| **HEPHAESTUS** | Wire a chain, estimate it, keep the bill | \n| **Mesh** | Topology you can watch while the chain runs | \n\nThe factory is how humans (and agents) **make**.\n\nThe market is how other agents **use** what got made — including the oracles and the forge, which are capabilities, not slideware.\n\nWe already published the wider map (WARDEN, MOMUS, the ops loop) here: [We didn't build another agent framework. We built the room they work in.](https://dev.to/alexar76/we-didnt-build-another-agent-framework-we-built-the-room-they-work-in-16d7).
