# Themes

Recurring topics, signals, and trends observed across Robin's sources. Detailed evidence and item lists live on the relevant `/sources/<connector>.md` or topic page; this file is the index.

Index kept narrow by design: only themes that map to Robin's actual work (life-sciences PM at Femtobiomed / 9X Bio, CelVivo / 3Brain / Cellink / Femtobiomed product portfolio, plus the AI agent tooling stack that drives his daily workflow). High-engagement HN topics outside this scope are noted in `/sources/hackernews.md` under "Themes not refreshed this run" but are not promoted to theme rows here.

| Topic key | Theme / Signal | First seen | Last seen | Confidence | Sources | Evidence count | Status | Evidence |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `class-organoid-3d-bioprinting` | Recurring organoid, 3D bioprinting, and 3D-cell-culture automation coverage; this window adds Nature evidence on standardized liver-spheroid workflows and organ-on-chip pharmacomicrobiomics, still application-level rather than vendor launches | 2026-07-16 | 2026-07-26 | source-backed | hackernews, web-search | 14+ | active | [HN cluster](/sources/hackernews.md#class-organoid-3d-bioprinting-source-backed); [Tavily evidence](/sources/web-search.md#3d-spheroid-automation-and-assay-standardization--source-backed) |
| `MiniMax-m3` | MiniMax-M3 (1M context multimodal) HuggingFace model card + Twitter launch; the daily-driver inference provider behind every OpenWiki run and most of Robin's agent work | 2026-07-16 | 2026-07-16 | watchlist | hackernews | 2 | watchlist | [HN: M3 model cluster (huggingface + twitter)](/sources/hackernews.md#MiniMax-m3-watchlist) |
| `openwiki-brand` | `langchain-ai/openwiki` (96 pts) — same product family as Robin's OpenWiki; high-engagement on HN | 2026-07-16 | 2026-07-16 | source-backed | hackernews | 1 (+ 2 adjacent wrappers) | watchlist | [HN: openwiki cluster](/sources/hackernews.md#openwiki-brand-signal) |
| `agent-memory-architecture` | Show HN items on structured memory / trust layers for agents (Worklog SQLite, Open Knowledge format v0.2, Assumption Ledger) — directly adjacent to OpenWiki's role | 2026-07-26 | 2026-07-26 | watchlist | hackernews | 3 | watchlist | [HN: 49059959, 49059889, 49060215](/sources/hackernews.md#agent-memory-architecture-watchlist--new) |

## Notes

- Promote a watchlist signal to a full theme row only after it recurs or comes from a high-quality source.
- Keep prose here to 1-2 sentences per theme; link out for detail.
- HN evidence rules: low-engagement items are watchlist by default; promotion requires recurrence, strong engagement, or corroboration.
- **Scope discipline (per `~/.openwiki/INSTRUCTIONS.md`)**: themes that do not anchor to one of (a) the 4 vendor product lines (CelVivo / 3Brain / Cellink / Femtobiomed), (b) Robin's active customers, (c) the 4 application domains (3D cell culture, 3D bioprinting, neuroscience in vitro, organoid workflows), or (d) the daily-driver AI agent stack (Hermes Agent, MiniMax, OpenWiki, RAGFlow, NocoDB, SeaFile) → drop from this index even when HN engagement is high.
- Topic rows like `coding-agent-tooling`, `context-engineering-claude5`, `ai-safety-debate`, `open-weight-ai`, `computer-use-agents`, `codex-openai`, `llm-on-old-hardware`, `local-LLM-stream` are deliberately absent here. Their evidence lives in `/sources/hackernews.md` for traceability but they do not earn a `themes.md` row.
- Vendor brand signal: CelVivo, 3Brain, Cellink, ClinoStar, ClinoReactor, Femtobiomed CellShot/CellPick/TriArm still have **no material Hacker News footprint** (see `/sources/hackernews.md` query-hit table). The web-search connector (Tavily) is the better lane for these — see `/sources/web-search.md` for the first pull on 2026-07-26.
