Overview

Reef is a Python server that exposes OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints, records each interaction, and matches later score or feedback reports to it by receipt header. A configured recipe then either trains model weights (Slime with SGLang) or rewrites the agent harness (prompts, rules, skills), and accepted updates are committed to a version history without restarting the server.

Who it is for: Teams building agents that learn from feedback via RL or harness evolution

Strengths

  • Harness-evolving recipes (Reefine) need only a model endpoint, no training GPUs
  • Serves /v1/chat/completions, /v1/responses and /v1/messages while updates roll in live
  • Versioned artifact history with candidate evaluation; rejected candidates leave the current release serving
  • Recipe catalog with measured benchmarks (AIME 2025, IMOAnswerBench, Terminal-Bench, WildClawBench)

Weaknesses

  • Weight training needs a supported GPU stack; exact GPU requirements are only in linked docs
  • Requires Python 3.12+ and git-lfs; no Docker or compose files provided
  • Most recipes live in the repo's recipes/ cookbook and are not shipped in the wheel
  • Reefine proposer sandbox needs Linux with bwrap and pasta; pi runs commands unsandboxed

What it needs

  • GPU optional
  • Docker
  • Needs git-lfs, Slime, SGLang, uv
  • Models: Qwen/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct, Ollama-served models (gemma4:26b), OpenAI-compatible upstream providers
  • port 8900
