Parallax is a CLI for orchestrating independent AI agent cohorts (Claude, Codex, etc.) over isolated, append-only logs or streams. Each cohort operates on its own log and does not see the intermediate reasoning of others i.e. disagreement is enforced at the infrastructure layer rather than prompted at runtime. Agents write to sequenced, durable logs and a separate moderator agent subscribes to all streams, monitors progress, issues steering instructions when necessary, and synthesizes outputs at the end.That means, coordination is just done over a log with natural language, which allows us to rewire topology of agents mid-run, fork, merge, spawn breakout rooms or build any research methodology on the fly depending on the question. If something goes wrong / crashes, agents can resume from where they left off. Further, if the log or stream is serverless, agents can connect over the log from any machine anywhere in the world and collaborate on tasks / research.

Could you build this?
Yes A CLI tool that orchestrates LLM API calls and writes conversation outputs into isolated append-only files or event streams can be built quickly with standard libraries.
