How to compare evolution arms offline in one afternoon with Proteus

Run the bundled offline harness under neutral and review arms and read the shift in what it builds.

Short answer: pip install proteus-evolve==0.4.0; then proteus run --harness minimal --arm neutral --arm review:notes --arm review:tools --seeds 4 --episodes 8 --out runs/<target>; proteus measure --harness minimal --out runs/<target>. All steps.

Who it is forA researcher or developer who wants to see how an action preference changes a self-evolving harness, without an API key or Docker.

The problemReading a self-evolving harness by hand is slow, and it is hard to tell whether a change came from the preference or from noise.

The outcomeA per-arm table of notes and tools built, a behavioural R and p value, and a local visual replay of the runs.

What you need first

  • Python 3.10 or newer
  • pip to install proteus-evolve==0.4.0 (no model SDK is required for the minimal harness)
  • For real harnesses: Docker and a DeepSeek or Codex key, as listed in the harness table

Steps

  1. pip install proteus-evolve==0.4.0
  2. proteus run --harness minimal --arm neutral --arm review:notes --arm review:tools --seeds 4 --episodes 8 --out runs/<target> (inferred, check the README)
  3. proteus measure --harness minimal --out runs/<target> (inferred, check the README)
  4. proteus visualize --out runs/<target> then open http://127.0.0.1:8301 in a browser (inferred, check the README)

Prompt for your agent

In the Proteus repo (proteus-evolve/Proteus), install proteus-evolve==0.4.0 and run the minimal harness with the neutral, review:notes and review:tools arms, writing output to runs/<target>. Expected output: a per-arm table of notes and tools counts plus a behavioural R and p value from proteus measure. Verify that the measure output includes a p value and that the review arms show a different notes or tools count than neutral.

Caveat. The minimal harness uses a mock policy, so the numbers show the pipeline working offline, not how a real model behaves.
