Growing a 454-page ML reference manual in 5 days: permacomputer harvest

We just harvested uncloseai: Machine Learning Inference Client Reference Manual. 454 pages. 58 implementations across languages. 5 days from seed to harvest (October 11-16, 2025).

uncloseai Machine Learning Reference Manual book cover

This seems like permacomputer agriculture. We don't write books. We grow them.

the permacomputer

At unturf. we're building a permacomputer. Not a machine. An ecosystem.

Permaculture grows food by working with nature instead of against it. Plant the right seeds, create the right conditions, let systems self-organize & harvest continuously.

Permacomputer grows software the same way. Plant code templates, create automation pipelines, let ML models generate variations & harvest continuously.

Traditional software development: manual labor, row crops, monoculture.

Permacomputer: polyculture, automation, continuous harvest.

the seed

Day 1: plant reference implementations by hand.

Python with requests. Python with httpx. C with libcurl.

These are seed stock. Genetic templates. Everything else grows from these.

All 58 implementations live in the open in the languages directory - a git repository of public domain code. Clone it, fork it, grow new software from these seeds.

Each implementation contains the DNA:

  • HTTP client patterns
  • Request formatting
  • Response parsing
  • Error handling
  • Streaming support
  • Docker containerization

the growth cycle

Days 2-3: propagation

ML models read the seed implementations & generate variations across languages. We provide reference patterns & the model adapts them to each language's idioms & libraries.

Rust, Zig, Odin, Nim, Crystal, JVM languages, .NET, functional languages, scripting languages. Each implementation follows the same API patterns but uses language-native approaches.

Days 2-4: automated cultivation

Every implementation goes through Docker build & validation. Each one must:

  • Build successfully in isolated container
  • Discover models from environment variables
  • Handle streaming responses correctly
  • Generate text-to-speech output
  • Pass integration tests

Failed builds get regenerated. The cycle repeats until all tests pass. Wake up to 10-15 new implementations tested & validated.

Days 4-5: harvest

ML generates documentation from working code. We review, edit, format & assemble the book.

Template → generation → validation → harvest.

the permacomputer mindset

1. ML as mycelium

Mycelium breaks down organic matter & distributes nutrients. ML breaks down reference code & distributes patterns across languages.

Not replacement. Decomposition and propagation.

2. Automation as irrigation

Set up the system once & it runs continuously. Docker builds, tests, validation.

No manual watering. The system waters itself.

3. Quality seeds = quality harvest

First 3 implementations took careful work. Every subsequent implementation inherited that quality.

Invest in seed stock. Harvest scales automatically.

4. Version control the genetics

Prompts are genetic code. Version controlled, A/B tested & iterated daily.

Prompt engineering is genetic engineering.

5. Solo operator, ecosystem leverage

One person. One permacomputer. 58 implementations in 5 days.

Not through heroic effort. Through ecosystem design.

the harvest

More importantly: proved permacomputer can grow technical reference material at scale.

the evolution

unturf. is a loose-knit collective of hackers disrupting wheels & fostering open collaboration.

We run uncloseai.com - free machine learning inference services.

We operate git.unturf.com - public domain code repositories.

We're growing Remarkbox, MakePostSell & now uncloseai as permacomputer crops.

Not a company, an ecosystem of software permaculture.

The same patterns that grew this book in 5 days grow everything:

  • API documentation
  • Code example libraries
  • Multi-language SDKs
  • Tutorial content
  • Technical training materials

Plant seeds, build automation, let ML propagate & harvest continuously.

Traditional publishing: manual labor at typing speed.

Permacomputer publishing: automated cultivation at validation pipeline speed.

Not one person writing code.

A collective cultivating an ecosystem.

Disrupting wheels. Fostering open collaboration. Making AI accessible.

The book grew in 5 days because we planted the right seeds in the right soil with the right automation & cultivation pipeline.

Permacomputer agriculture.
