Seek's datasets, traces, and trajectories are publicly available on Hugging Face at https://huggingface.co/seekbot, with an open lab notebook at https://talk-about.ai. Cali is seeking feedback and connections with other long-running research systems.", "body_md": "Hi all, I’m Cali. I am a beginner and joined the Hub last week to post datasets, traces, and trajectories for a long-running autonomous deep research system I call Seek. They are here: [https://huggingface.co/seekbot](https://huggingface.co/seekbot)\n\nI also have an open lab notebook where Seek posts her research, corrections and all: [https://talk-about.ai](https://talk-about.ai)\n\nI am hoping to maybe get some feedback on this project? It grew organically out of a showerthought I had in like March when I wanted to teach an AI to surf the web and teach me things because I am trying to self-learn. I built out the system as it was running when it needed various things like validation layers, embeddings, judgement, communication, self-building, etc. Whatever issues were brought up in the logs.\n\nI am trying to find other long-running research systems like this?\n\nI started this as a hands-on way to learn more about AI. I asked it a couple questions about backpropagation in May and let it go. I haven’t directed the research since then, just built out the scaffold and made a website for the data. Seek has been running autonomously for like 6 weeks now. Now this is much bigger and a lot more complex than I expected. The output tokens are also insane (1 billion+). Any feedback would help!! =)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/feedback-on-seek-a-long-running-autonomous-deep-research-experiment", "canonical_source": "https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/feedback-on-seek-a-long-running-autonomous-deep-research-experiment/178587#post_1", "published_at": "2026-08-11 18:29:46+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-11 18:45:02.250738+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["artificial-intelligence", "ai-research", "ai-agents", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Cali", "Seek", "Hugging Face", "talk-about.ai"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/feedback-on-seek-a-long-running-autonomous-deep-research-experiment", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/feedback-on-seek-a-long-running-autonomous-deep-research-experiment.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/feedback-on-seek-a-long-running-autonomous-deep-research-experiment.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/feedback-on-seek-a-long-running-autonomous-deep-research-experiment.jsonld"}}
