quorum-ai 0.2.1

Multi-LLM consensus engine with semantic agreement and self-evolution. Source-available under FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0.

Quorum

Multi-LLM consensus engine. 8+ models in parallel. Semantic consensus via embeddings. Self-evolves with use. Patent Pending: HSP (PCT/US26/11908).

pip install quorum-ai

from quorum import consensus

result = await consensus("What is the chemical structure of L-Cysteine?")

# result.answer            → final consensus answer
# result.confidence        → semantic agreement score 0..1
# result.models            → [{name, response, weight, latency_ms, cost_usd}]
# result.disagreements     → list of points where models disagreed
# result.evolution_signals → which loops fired this query

Pro tier: £49/mo — solo devs, BYOK, all 13 evolution loops, 5,000 queries/mo, £0.012 overage. Start in 30 seconds at https://quorum-ai.dev.

Recommended usage pattern — context profiles

Before asking Quorum anything substantial, create a context profile for the project or domain you're working in. The profile is auto-injected into every consensus query so all the LLMs start from the same ground truth instead of falling back to training-data priors.

quorum context add my-project --file README.md   # one-time setup
quorum ask --all "what should I prioritize next?"  # context auto-injects, web is live by default

Full guide: docs/CONTEXT_PROFILES.md (also documents the failure mode this prevents — same idea as Claude Projects / Cursor .cursorrules / ChatGPT Custom Instructions, applied to multi-LLM consensus).

What makes Quorum different

• 8+ models in parallel by default: Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Llama (local), Llama 3.3, Mistral, DeepSeek, Qwen, Phi
• Semantic consensus, not lexical: cosine similarity on embeddings, not Jaccard noise
• Adversarial revision: round 2 where models see each other's answers and can change their mind
• 13 self-evolution loops: RLHF, Hebbian, distillation, router, memory, meta-learning, model-vs-model, A/B testing, synthetic data, federated, self-prompting, adversarial, architecture search
• HSP gate on every high-stakes decision (patent pending)
• Auto-certification for EU AI Act 2026-08 — every query generates an audit-ready PDF
• Hosted API + BYOK: run locally with your own keys OR call our managed FastAPI with metered billing
• Switzerland of LLMs: the incumbents structurally can't sell this — they'd commoditize themselves

Why we exist

Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft structurally cannot sell a multi-vendor consensus engine — it would commoditize their own models. Quorum occupies that gap. Neutral. Auditable. Open source. Patent Pending.

The 13 self-evolution loops

Each loop closes a feedback gap that single-model deployments leak silently. They run async, behind the consensus call, and write back into router weights, memory, and prompts.

#	Loop	What it does	File
1	RLHF	Learns from explicit user thumbs / corrections	evolution/rlhf.py
2	Hebbian	"Neurons that fire together wire together" — co-correct models get correlated weights	evolution/hebbian.py
3	Distillation	Cheap models learn from expensive consensus	evolution/distillation.py
4	Router	Per-domain weighting — Claude for code, Gemini for vision, etc.	evolution/router.py
5	Memory	Vector recall of past consensus on similar prompts	evolution/memory_loop.py + core/memory.py
6	Meta-learning	Loops learn which loops are working — second-order updates	evolution/meta.py
7	Competition (model-vs-model)	Pairwise duels; ELO-style ranking	evolution/competition.py
8	A/B testing	Two prompt variants per call; track which wins	evolution/ab_testing.py
9	Synthetic data	High-confidence consensus becomes training data	evolution/synthetic_data.py
10	Federated	Cross-tenant signal aggregation without raw data leak	evolution/federated.py
11	Self-prompting	Quorum rewrites ambiguous prompts before fan-out	evolution/self_prompt.py
12	Adversarial	Red-team prompts; models that fall for them lose weight	evolution/adversarial.py
13	Architecture search	Tries new model combos / topologies; promotes winners	evolution/architecture_search.py

Billing tiers (hosted)

The OSS package is free forever. The hosted API at api.quorum-ai.com is metered. BYOK only — Quorum never proxies your provider keys. You pay the platform fee; your LLM spend stays on your own Anthropic / OpenAI / Gemini / Grok bills.

Pro — £49/mo (start here)

Tier	Price / mo	Included	Overage
Pro	£49	5,000 queries, 8 models in parallel, all 13 evolution loops, BYOK	£0.012 / query

Why Pro is the right tier for you. If you're a solo backend dev, indie hacker, or an agency engineer shipping LLM features under your own name, Pro is built for your workflow. You get the full consensus engine — 8 models, semantic agreement, every self-evolution loop — at a price that fits a single-developer P&L, and you keep your own provider keys so there's nothing to migrate when you scale. No seat minimums, no procurement call, no "contact sales" wall between you and shipping.

Higher tiers (talk to us: [e-mail])

For multi-user accounts, regulated workloads, or the EU AI Act PDF certification path, the following exist but are deliberately out of the self-serve flow. Email if you need them.

Tier	Price / mo	Included	Overage
Team	£199	25,000 queries, federated loop on, audit log retention 90d	£0.008 / query
Enterprise	£1,499	Unlimited, SLA 99.9%, SSO, on-prem, training data licence	Custom
Compliance add-on	+£500	Per-query EU AI Act PDF certificate, signed, hash-chained	—

Stripe-backed. Webhook handler with in-memory fallback so tests run without keys. See billing/stripe_billing.py.

Hosted API endpoints

FastAPI server in server/main.py. Run locally with quorum-server or deploy to any container host. All endpoints rate-limited via slowapi; auth via Bearer JWT or BYOK header.

Method	Path	Purpose
POST	/v1/consensus	Run a consensus query. Returns ConsensusResult.
POST	/v1/consensus/stream	Same, server-sent events as each model returns
GET	/v1/models	List enabled providers + per-tenant overrides
POST	/v1/feedback	Thumbs up/down on a past query — feeds RLHF loop
GET	/v1/cert/{query_id}	Download EU AI Act PDF certificate
POST	/v1/billing/checkout	Create Stripe checkout session for tier upgrade
POST	/v1/billing/webhook	Stripe webhook (signature-verified)
POST	/v1/hsp/webhook	HSP gate decision callback (patent PCT/US26/11908)
GET	/v1/usage	Current period usage + remaining quota
GET	/healthz	Liveness / readiness
GET	/metrics	Prometheus scrape endpoint

EU AI Act certification (2026-08 deadline)

The EU AI Act enforcement window starts 2026-08-02 for general-purpose AI systems and 2027-08-02 for high-risk uses. Quorum auto-generates a per-query audit certificate that satisfies Art. 13 (transparency) and Art. 12 (record-keeping) obligations:

• Every model that ran, its weight, its raw response
• Consensus method (semantic / lexical), threshold used
• HSP gate decision + signing key
• Cost paid, latency, tokens — for energy-use disclosure
• SHA-256 chain link to previous certificate in tenant (tamper-evident)

PDF generated via reportlab. Stored in tenant bucket; downloadable via /v1/cert/{query_id}. Code in hsp/ai_act_cert.py.

All evolution loops are async writebacks — they never block the response path. Loop outputs feed back into router weights, memory vectors, and self_prompt templates on the next query. Meta-learning audits loop effectiveness and can disable loops that regress.
