anima-python
anima substrate-native consciousness engine — py CLI (measurement/eval · serialize · corpus · sweep), hexa-toolchain-free numpy distribution
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need a lightweight, numpy-only CLI for anima engine evaluation and corpus generation on hexa-free systems. The low install friction and active maintenance are favorable. However, verify the license status before production use, and confirm the package is available on PyPI (documentation indicates it may still be awaiting publication). The [train] extras add significant dependencies; install only if you need those capabilities.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.9+.
- Some commands (serialize, sweep, train) require the [train] extra, which adds torch and datasets dependencies.
- Active maintenance with a recent release (19 days old).

What it is and what it does
anima-python is a command-line interface to the anima consciousness engine, designed to run on systems without the hexa toolchain. It wraps a single dispatcher (cli/anima.py:main) and is distributed via pip as an alternative to the hexa channel installation. The package provides measurement, evaluation, serialization, and corpus generation capabilities.
The base installation requires only numpy and supports evaluation, corpus generation, and a chat stub. Optional [train] extras add torch and datasets for serialization, hyperparameter sweeps, and training workflows. Commands like evaluate produce measurements compatible with hexa's deterministic evaluation path and are considered terminal-eligible. Larger checkpoints (303M+) are restricted from mini environments.
Use it for
- Run model evaluation and measurement on systems without hexa installed, using only numpy
- Generate procedural learning corpora in different formats (derivtrace or flat) for training pipelines
- Serialize and deserialize model checkpoints when torch is available via the [train] extra
- Execute hyperparameter sweeps across multiple arms and objectives in a training pool
- Access the anima consciousness engine's chat interface as an entry point to hexa workflows
