Ideas

Many ideas, judged fairly. The best ones, shortlisted by people.

Give Nexus a problem and it generates ideas in several different ways, then has separate models compare them and argue against them. Ideas are checked against prior art before anyone gets attached to them, and people approve the shortlist.

Judges and critics

Ideas compared by one model, challenged by another.

Choose which models compare ideas and which object to them. Keeping them apart stops one model’s habits from deciding what counts as a good idea.

Checked against what exists, before anyone gets attached.

Ideas are checked against the outside sources you allow. You see exactly what leaves the company for each search.
