Discussions: AI Copilots for Optimism RetroPGF
@rororowyourboat and @akrtws discuss CadCAD GPT, an open-source framework, enabling token system simulations with LLM agents. They showcase the potential of RetroPGF GPT in analyzing voting outcomes and supporting decision-making in RetroPGF. They published a prototype yesterday and continue to invite badge holders to collaborate with this initiative.
Discussions: Impact Metric based voting
In this post, @Jonas introduces a way to implement impact metric-based voting as an alternative to the current labor-intensive process in RetroPGF. Jonas presents the Impact Calculator, a prototype of a metric based voting interface that leverages data to assess the impact of various projects.
Furthermore, the RetroPGF 3 Retrospective should be published this week.
