News & Updates
Stay informed on the latest breakthroughs, publications, and events from Arboria Labs. Our work is constantly evolving as we push the boundaries of swarm intelligence and interstellar systems.
April 15, 2026 | Tool Release
Release: Maneuver.Map analysis notebook templates
Five Jupyter templates ship with the orchestrator: load_experiment, phase_diagram, order_parameter_timeseries, interaction_graph, criticality. Each loads any exp_id from local DATA_DIR or GCS into pandas/xarray and reproduces the figures cited in the swarm papers.
April 02, 2026 | Infrastructure
Provenance block in experiment.json
Every run now records git describe, wheel SHAs, pip freeze hash, and a hardware fingerprint at experiment creation. Combined with the seed-tree work from late 2025, two runs at the same seed produce byte-identical metrics across our fleet.
March 18, 2026 | Tool Release
Release: Gossamer Threaded Intelligence v0.2.0 (research line)
Adds a graph-message-passing substrate (InteractionGraph, MessagePassingPolicy), a PyTorch MARL toolkit (parameter-shared CTDE, MAPPO, learnable comm channel), info-theoretic / criticality / spectral metrics, and the canonical benchmark suite. Classical algorithms now share one interface with their learned counterparts.
March 05, 2026 | Tool Release
Release: Leviathan Engine py-0.2.0
Selectable integrator (euler / rk4 / velocity_verlet), a real C++ communication model with bandwidth, Bernoulli loss, and propagation delay, sphere-sphere collisions, and OpenMP-parallel physics. Velocity-Verlet drift on the orbital_debris example drops from 20% (Euler) to under 1% over 10⁵ steps.
February 12, 2026 | Research Note
Critical-exponent fits land for density-modulated Boids
Susceptibility, Binder cumulant, and correlation-length measurements across four system sizes recover , — statistically consistent with the 3D Vicsek universality class. Methodology and full bootstrap CIs will appear in the rewritten DMB paper.
January 28, 2026 | Tool Release
Release: PettingZoo LeviathanParallelEnv wrapper
Drop-in target for any MARL trainer that speaks PettingZoo (RLlib, MARLlib, CleanRL, TorchRL). The wrapper sits on top of the in-process pybind module, so a 1,000-agent rollout never leaves Python — no HTTP, no serialization tax.
December 09, 2025 | Research Note
OR-Set CRDT pheromone for TF-ACO
Replaced the previous “DHT-backed sparse voxel map” hand-wave with an OR-Set + G-Counter composite. The merge layer now matches the ICCD intent CRDT, so a single bug fix improves both papers and a future reviewer doesn’t get two consistency stories for the price of one.
November 14, 2025 | Tool Release
Release: Optuna-backed tuner in Maneuver.Map
optimize_backend="optuna" (TPE or CMA-ES, with Hyperband pruning) is now the default. The legacy GA stays available for ablation parity. Same release fixes a long-standing bug where the old GA tuner ignored its own objective and returned avg_energy.
October 21, 2025 | Infrastructure
ENGINE_MODE=inprocess lands in Maneuver.Map
Local research workers can now skip the HTTP round-trip and import the Leviathan pybind module directly. The HTTP path is unchanged for multi-tenant deploys; the in-process path is what we use for million-step rollouts on a single box.
September 02, 2025 | Tool Release
Release: leviathan_diff_brax — JAX/Brax differentiable backend (stub)
Velocity-Verlet and Euler ported to pure JAX for parity with the C++ core at 1k agents. This is the prerequisite for gradient-based swarm-shaping research; full 10⁶-agent parity is on the roadmap.
August 05, 2025 | Tool Release
Release: Maneuver.Map v1.6.2
Bug fixes and polish: sturdier artifact cleanup, clearer run metadata, and deep-linkable Pagefind results in the UI.
July 15, 2025 | Publication
Title: “Resilient Consensus Algorithms for High-Latency Communication Networks in Interstellar Probe Swarms”
Accepted to the Journal of Interstellar Studies. The paper presents a consensus protocol tolerant of hour-scale delays and intermittent links, validated across long-duration network emulations and public spacecraft telemetry datasets. We include open-source reference implementations and a formal liveness/safety proof sketch.
June 24, 2025 | Tool Release
Release: Leviathan Engine v1.4.0
Stabilized Python wheels across platforms, a faster Parquet write path, and structured logs for easier post-processing. Minor breaking change: CSV header now includes timestamp first; see the migration note in the changelog.
May 28, 2025 | Docs & Site
Global docs search is live. Our pnpm postbuild task now emits Pagefind indexes to /public/_pagefind for fast, offline-friendly search.
April 21, 2025 | Tool Release
Release: Gossamer Threaded Intelligence v2.0
Major update with typed APIs, pluggable metrics, and tighter adapters for Maneuver.Map. Deprecated several legacy helpers and streamlined configuration; see “Breaking changes” in the notes.
March 10, 2025 | Tool Release
Release: Maneuver.Map v1.5.0
Adds resumable runs, exponential backoff/retry controls, and signed artifact uploads. Introduces /frames pagination and publishes an updated OpenAPI schema for client generation.
February 04, 2025 | Research Note
Phase-diagram methodology preview
We standardized our phase-transition instrumentation across exploration scenarios: polar order parameter ψ, susceptibility χ_ψ, fourth-order Binder cumulant, and correlation length ξ, all measured by gossamer.metrics.criticality. Internal sweeps over (density × noise) reproduce expected Vicsek-like signatures at our reference scales.
December 12, 2024 | Publication
Title: “Topology-Aware Gossip Under Sparse Connectivity”
This work analyzes convergence under highly irregular, time-varying link graphs and provides bounds that match observed behavior in hardware-in-the-loop network emulations. The appendix includes proofs and a reference implementation of the gossip variants we evaluated.
October 30, 2024 | Tool Release
Release: Leviathan Engine v1.3.0
Stabilized the C API, added zero-copy Arrow buffers to the Parquet exporter, and improved CI coverage for macOS/Linux builds.
September 22, 2024 | Tool Release
Release: Maneuver.Map v1.4.0
Server-Sent Events for live experiment status, a streaming /frames pipeline backed by pyarrow.dataset predicate pushdown, and a UI scrubber that decimates server-side. Frame loads on million-row runs went from “fetch the whole CSV” to “stream the slice you asked for.”
August 15, 2024 | Tool Release
Release: Gossamer Threaded Intelligence v1.7.0
New coordination primitives (budgeted consensus, prioritized queuing) and a metrics module for cohesion/alignment/separation with consistent units. Minor performance improvements in vectorized steps.
June 19, 2024 | Research Note
Energy-per-bit / freshness Pareto frontier
Internal exploration of the AoI-vs-energy tradeoff under contact-plan DTN produced the first frontier curve we trust. The shape directly informed the bundle-prioritization rule (utility = Δfreshness / joules) that ICCD now ships with.
May 03, 2024 | Publication
Title: “Distributed Priority Queues for Onboard Tasking”
Introduces a lightweight, contention-aware priority queue that maintains fairness under bursty workloads and intermittent connectivity. We compare against baseline heuristics across synthetic traces and public mission timelines, showing improved throughput without sacrificing responsiveness.
January 26, 2024 | Tool Release
Release: Maneuver.Map v1.2.0
Run tagging, retention policies, and first-class OpenAPI docs at /docs. Minor UI updates for keyboard navigation.
November 08, 2023 | Tool Release
Release: Gossamer Threaded Intelligence v1.0
First stable release. Hand-engineered Boids, Laplacian consensus, Hungarian + ε-auction task allocation, push/pull gossip, and the full voting-rule set (plurality, Borda, approval, Condorcet, Schulze) under a unified configuration surface.
July 12, 2023 | Tool Release
Release: Leviathan Engine v1.1
Spatial-hash neighbor queries replace the inner loop, taking the practical agent ceiling from ~5,000 to over 100,000 on a single box. Same release exposes a stable pybind11 module for downstream consumers.
March 07, 2023 | Tool Release
Release: Leviathan Engine v1.0.0
First stable API, CSV logging with configurable frequency, and deterministic seeds. This marks the baseline for downstream adapters and exporters.
