Sidix AI Agent
Free & Open Source AI Agent — Self-Hosted, Self-Learning, No Vendor API. Qwen2.5-7B + LoRA. 35 tools. Built on Islamic Epistemology (IHOS).
Sidix is an open-source ai agent by fahmiwol, written mainly in Python, with 25 GitHub stars and the MIT license. Its code was last updated Oct 28, 2026.
🧭 Status & what came next · Status & kelanjutannya
EN — SIDIX was an open research build from April to August 2026. The hosted app was
discontinued on purpose and will not return. Anyone who wants to use SIDIX will download the code
and run it on their own machine; the useful parts of the code are being repackaged in a readable,
documented form. The source recovered from the private archive is now in this repository as an
unmaintained research archive: apps/ (brain_qa agent loop, MCP server, gateways, image/audio/vision), extension/, api/
and a few synthesized docs under docs/. It is a cleaned snapshot, not the full history; datasets, model weights, deployment
scripts and working notes are intentionally not included. To run it: cd apps/brain_qa && python -m venv .venv && pip install -r requirements.txt && pytest tests
(some tests fail or hang without optional dependencies; as of the recovery 678 pass, 4 fail, 4 files time out). Also here: the license, authorship statement and the Quran Lab provider. Everything further down this page
is a snapshot of that build.
The research continues in MiganCore — an own, Indonesian-first language model and the measurement discipline built around it. SIDIX's sanad (chain-of-transmission) idea lives on there: six of its trained models so far carry a provenance chain that is checked link by link.
ID — SIDIX adalah pembangunan riset terbuka dari April sampai Agustus 2026. Aplikasi yang
di-hosting sengaja dihentikan dan tidak akan dihidupkan lagi. Yang ingin memakai SIDIX cukup
mengunduh kodenya dan menjalankannya di mesin sendiri; bagian kode yang berguna sedang dikemas ulang
agar mudah dibaca dan terdokumentasi. Kode yang dipulihkan dari arsip privat kini ada di repositori ini sebagai
arsip riset tanpa perawatan: apps/ (loop agent brain_qa, server MCP, gateway, gambar/audio/visi), extension/, api/
dan beberapa dokumen sintesis di docs/. Ini potret yang sudah dibersihkan, bukan riwayat lengkap; dataset, bobot model, skrip
penyebaran, dan catatan kerja sengaja tidak disertakan. Cara menjalankan: cd apps/brain_qa && python -m venv .venv && pip install -r requirements.txt && pytest tests
(sebagian tes gagal atau menggantung tanpa dependensi opsional; saat pemulihan 678 lulus, 4 gagal, 4 berkas kehabisan waktu). Juga ada: lisensi, pernyataan kepenemuan, dan provider Quran Lab. Semua di bawah bagian ini adalah
potret build tersebut.
Riset berlanjut di MiganCore — model bahasa milik sendiri yang mengutamakan bahasa Indonesia, beserta disiplin pengukuran di sekelilingnya. Gagasan sanad SIDIX hidup terus di sana: sejauh ini enam model yang dilatih membawa rantai asal-usul yang diperiksa mata demi mata.

"The measure of intelligence is not how much you know, but how precisely you know what you don't know — and how honestly you say so."
🌱 Why SIDIX Exists
Most AI tools are black boxes controlled by corporations. You pay per token. Your data trains their model. You have no idea what they do with it.
SIDIX is built on a different premise:
- Free — run it without paying anyone per-query
- Open source — every line of code is auditable
- Self-hosted — your server, your data, your model
- Self-learning — improves from real usage, structured, every quarter
Inspired by a 1,400-year-old knowledge system, SIDIX asks: what if the architecture of knowledge matters more than its volume?
What if an AI that knows why it knows, how it knows, and the limits of what it knows — is more trustworthy than one that simply knows a lot?
That question is the origin of IHOS — and the reason SIDIX exists.
🧠 The IHOS Foundation
IHOS (Islamic Holistic Ontological System) is not a religious constraint. It is an epistemological architecture — a framework for how knowledge should be structured, validated, and used.
It was derived from observing one of the oldest self-expanding knowledge systems ever recorded.
The Blueprint: A 1,400-Year-Old Cognitive System
Consider this: a single text of ~77,000 words has generated 14 centuries of derivative scholarship — yielding jurisprudence, medicine, cosmology, mathematics, linguistics, ethics, and governance. Different readers, in different times and places, derive entirely different — yet internally consistent — bodies of knowledge from the same source.
This is not a coincidence of literary richness. It is a designed architecture.
The classical Islamic scholars identified it precisely:
| Qur'anic Layer | Technical Analog | SIDIX Implementation |
|---|---|---|
| Zahir — the explicit text | Frozen Foundation Model | Qwen2.5-7B + LoRA — immutable base weights |
| Batin — the latent meaning | Latent space / embeddings | BM25 + vector corpus — contextual retrieval |
| Asbabun Nuzul — grounded context | Grounded Generation | Every output grounded in brand_brief + user_state + platform_context |
| Sanad — the chain of transmission | Provenance tracking | [FACT] / [OPINION] / [UNKNOWN] labels + citation chain |
| Maqashid — the higher objectives | Objective function | 5-axis filter: life · intellect · faith · lineage · wealth |
| Ijtihad — reasoned interpretation | Agentic reasoning | agent_react.py ReAct loop |
| Naskh — abrogation/update | Knowledge conflict resolution | naskh_handler.py — sanad-tier based supersession |
| Tafakkur — deliberate reflection | Meta-cognition | muhasabah_loop.py — Niyah→Amal→Muhasabah self-refinement |
| Tadrij — progressive revelation | Curriculum learning | curriculum_engine.py L0→L4 knowledge ladder |
The key insight: Al-Qur'an's power doesn't come from size — it comes from architecture. A frozen core. Context-sensitive derivation. Verified transmission chains. Purpose-aligned interpretation. This is what SIDIX translates into code.
The 5 Principles That Follow
1. FROZEN CORE, LIVING EDGES
The base model doesn't retrain arbitrarily — it grows through structured LoRA adapters.
Like a text that never changes, but whose understanding deepens with the reader.
2. SOURCE CHAIN IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
Every claim is labeled. Every output has a traceable path.
Not because we're cautious — because honesty is a design constraint.
3. CONTEXT IS FIRST-CLASS INPUT
User state, brand context, time, platform — these are not metadata.
They are part of the inference function.
4. PURPOSE FILTERS KNOWLEDGE
Not all technically correct answers are appropriate answers.
Maqashid as objective function: output is evaluated against human flourishing, not just accuracy.
5. GROWTH IS STRUCTURAL, NOT INCIDENTAL
Self-learning isn't a feature. It's the architecture.
Daily corpus ingestion → curation → LoRA retrain → deploy. Every quarter, SIDIX improves.
🏗️ Architecture
SIDIX is not a chatbot with a nice UI. It's a three-layer cognitive agent running 100% on your own stack:
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ LAYER 1 — BRAIN (LLM) │
│ Local LLM + optional adapter │
│ Generative inference — token by token, own stack │
│ No vendor API required for default mode │
└─────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────┘
│ ReAct loop (agent_react.py)
┌─────────────────────────▼───────────────────────────────────┐
│ LAYER 2 — HANDS (Tools + RAG) │
│ 35 active tools: │
│ ├── Knowledge: search_corpus · read_chunk · concept_graph │
│ ├── Web: web_fetch · web_search · pdf_extract │
│ ├── Code: code_sandbox · code_analyze · code_validate │
│ ├── Creative: generate_copy · brand_kit · plan_campaign │

│ ├── Multi-Agent: Raudah Protocol (parallel specialists) │
│ └── Growth: roadmap_* · workspace_* · muhasabah_refine │
└─────────────────────────┬───────────────────────────────────┘
│ daily cycle
┌─────────────────────────▼───────────────────────────────────┐
│ LAYER 3 — MEMORY (Growth Loop) │
│ 50+ open sources → corpus queue → curation → JSONL │
│ → adapter retrain (offline pipeline) → adapter deploy │
│ SIDIX gets smarter every quarter. Structurally. │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Raudah Protocol — Multi-Agent Parallel Orchestration
New in v0.6: Raudah (روضة المعرفة — Garden of Knowledge) — a multi-agent parallel system where specialists work concurrently and the Orchestrator synthesizes a consensus answer.
Task → RaudahOrchestrator.urai_task()
→ IHOS Guardrail (Maqashid check)
→ asyncio.gather([Researcher, Analyst, Writer, Engineer, Verifier])
→ RaudahOrchestrator.agregasi() ← Ijma' (consensus synthesis)
→ RaudahResult.jawaban_final
Unlike "swarm" architectures: no vendor API, IHOS guardrail before spawn, Sanad Validator per output.
import asyncio
from brain.raudah.core import run_raudah
result = asyncio.run(run_raudah("Research 5 productive waqf models in Southeast Asia"))
print(result.jawaban_final) # synthesized consensus
print(result.durasi_s) # e.g. 45.2s on RTX 3060
🔌 Optional plugin ecosystem
SIDIX can optionally expose a local plugin server for compatible clients (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, GPT Actions, Codex). This is not required for the default standing-alone mode.

🎭 5 Personas
SIDIX adapts its voice, depth, and framing based on who it's talking to. Each persona maps to a Maqashid mode — a different lens for evaluating and presenting knowledge.
| Persona | Character | Specialization | Maqashid Mode |
|---|---|---|---|
| AYMAN | Strategic Sage | Research synthesis, long-form, Islamic epistemology, vision | IJTIHAD |
| ABOO | The Analyst | Data, logic, structured argument, code review, decisions | ACADEMIC |
| OOMAR | The Craftsman | Technical deep-dives, system design, build & implementation | IJTIHAD |
| ALEY | The Learner | Teaching, curriculum, beginner-friendly, patient explanation | GENERAL |
| UTZ | The Generalist | Daily tasks, creative work, conversational, quick answers | CREATIVE |
# Auto-routing — SIDIX picks the right persona from your question
from brain_qa.persona import route_persona
result = route_persona("help me design a logo for a tech startup")
# → PersonaDecision(persona='AYMAN', confidence=0.63, reason='signal=creative/design')
# Or specify explicitly
from brain_qa.agent_react import run_react
session = run_react(question="audit this Python function", persona="ABOO")
Backward compatible: legacy persona aliases are accepted internally, but never surfaced in public UI/content.

Building agents that keep their own state? These are the pieces I extracted from doing it:
- Agent Memory Starter — free, open source. Four memory types and three prompts.
- Agent Memory OS — $3. The full twelve-prompt method.
- Second Brain Kit — $7. One memory for every agent, served over MCP.
- MCP Server Starter — $5. Build an MCP server, then prove it behaves.
