28 models in different roles · 8 cross-pollinations · 5 DeepSeek V4-Flash self-loops · 4 syntheses
Ideators / Cross-pollinations / V4-Flash self-loops / Synthesizers
Each model was given a unique role prompt. Z.AI as Eastern systems thinker, ByteDance as creative director, Claude as constitutional AI, etc. They each invented repo concepts that don't exist yet.
Models reviewed all 28 ideas and merged pairs into new hybrid repos.
V4-Flash iterates with itself: starting states, presets, finding where novel dials should be by seeing many different routes work.
4 models synthesize all rounds into a unified future-of-Quilt document.
- Ideators are best when given a role, not just a topic. The same model produces different ideas when framed as "Eastern systems thinker" vs "MoE architect." - The novel dial discovery happens when models are asked to find values people would care about, not just technical features. - DeepSeek V4-Flash self-loops converge to starting states — the model finds that presets matter more than features. - Cross-pollinations of unrelated ideas (like treaty semantics + MoE routing) produce the most surprising repos.
