Rebuilding Cognition's Agentic MapReduce
Matt Rickard 3 months ago 22
A developer reverse-engineered Cognition's Security Swarm architecture to create a generalized Agentic MapReduce system that coordinates multiple AI agents across large codebases using git branches and commits as the communication primitive. Testing on 13 security audit repositories with 3 iterations each cost $26.70 per run on average, with 6 of 13 finding target vulnerabilities and 5 others surfacing confirmed CVEs. The approach enables fault tolerance, auditability, and scalability for distributed agent tasks without task-specific infrastructure, though the developer is building Corigin as a specialized git platform for agents since GitHub wasn't designed for machine-generated branch management.
