OpenIdea Lab

https://lab.openidea.world

OpenIdea Lab turns an idea or research paper into a verified, citable prototype with a Muse-only agent loop (plan / act / observe), HITL sign-off, and Studio handoff.

Built during the Meta Global AI Developer Hackathon (Oct 26 – Nov 4, 2026), Startup track. Everything in this repository was written during the event. It calls OpenIdea's search API (openidea.world), which existed before the hackathon and is not part of this submission. See PARTNERS.md.

Free	$0	Teaser Lab Agent runs (metered), live console
Lab Pro	≤ $20/mo	More runs, durable replay fence, BibTeX export, HITL, Studio files handoff

Primary UI: /agent — Muse chooses one tool per turn. Legacy /idea and /paper one-shot pipelines remain as demos. Photo / SAM 3 on Baseten is optional vision GPU, not LLM reasoning.

Muse API key (Cursor / Claude Code)

Lab does not invent API keys. The Muse-only path reads:

META_API_KEY=…          # from Configure Claude Code / Cursor-configured Muse API keys
META_API_URL=https://api.meta.ai/v1
# Router (lib/muse-models.ts): Wonder/Spark primary builders; Contributor for light steps + cheap retries
# choose/plan/verdict → muse-wonder-1.0 | draft/fix → muse-spark-1.3
# rank/observe → muse-spark-1.2-contributor | enrich/vision → muse-spark-1.3-contributor | segment → sam-3.1

Wire path: .env.local → lib/env.ts keyFor('meta') → lib/muse-models.ts routeMuseModel(task) → lib/muse.ts / lib/muse-agent.ts → Meta Model API.

Stack

• Muse Spark (Meta Model API): only LLM for agent reasoning
• WebContainer / Pyodide: browser sandboxes
• SAM 3 on Baseten: optional photo segmentation
• Fireworks: legacy demo path only (not the Lab Agent)
• Next.js 15, TypeScript, Tailwind

Run it locally

git clone https://github.com/openideaorg/openidea-lab
