MARL — Multi-stage Reasoning Middleware

Multi-stage multi-agent reasoning middleware that reduces LLM hallucination by 70%+. 9 specialized emergence engines for invention, creative, pharma, genomics, chemistry, ecology, law, recipe, and document generation.

MARL Enhance — Brain Upgrade for Your Agent

The 3rd approach after fine-tuning & RAG. MARL restructures how LLMs reason at runtime — not their weights. One line to integrate, 70%+ hallucination reduction, 9 domain-specific emergence engines.

What It Does

Before MARL: Your agent calls the LLM once → gets an answer (might hallucinate).

After MARL: Your agent calls MARL → MARL runs a multi-stage expert pipeline → hypothesis, solving, auditing, adversarial verification, synthesis → returns a deeply verified answer.

Your Agent → MARL → Multi-stage Pipeline → Any LLM → Verified Answer

Results: 70%+ hallucination reduction · 94.8% of improvement from self-correction · Verified on FINAL Bench (HuggingFace Global Top 5 dataset).

Setup

Option A: Docker (Recommended — all platforms)

docker run -p 8080:8080 vidraft/marl

Option B: pip (Linux x86_64)

pip install marl-middleware
python -m marl serve --port 8080

Option C: HuggingFace Space (No install — try instantly)

Use https://huggingface.co/spaces/VIDraft/MARL directly in your browser.

Connect to OpenClaw

Set your config.json:

{
  "llm": {
    "baseURL": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
    "model": "gpt-5.4"
  }
}

That's it. Every LLM call now passes through MARL's multi-stage reasoning pipeline.

9 Emergence Modes

Switch modes by appending ::mode to any model name:

model value	Engine	What it does
gpt-5.4	🔬 Insight	Default — fact-check, strategy, deep analysis
gpt-5.4::invent	🔧 Invent	Patent-level invention via TRIZ + bio-inspired + contradiction resolution
gpt-5.4::create	✨ Create	Cliché inversion, paradox, genre fusion, sensory collision
gpt-5.4::recipe	🍳 Recipe	Culinary emergence with taste chemistry validation
gpt-5.4::pharma	💊 Pharma	Drug repositioning, mechanism crossing, multi-target design
gpt-5.4::genomics	🧬 Genomics	Pathway crosstalk, synthetic lethality, phenotype bridging
gpt-5.4::chemistry	🧪 Chemistry	Contradictory properties, biomimicry, waste-to-value
gpt-5.4::ecology	🌍 Ecology	Conservation transfer, threat inversion, service stacking
gpt-5.4::law	⚖️ Law	Cross-jurisdiction transplant, tech-law collision resolution
gpt-5.4::document	📄 Document	Metacognitive report and document generation

Replace gpt-5.4 with any model — Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Llama, etc.

Example: Switch to Pharma mode

{
  "llm": {
    "baseURL": "http://localhost:8080/v1",
    "model": "gpt-5.4::pharma"
  }
}

Then chat: "Find drug repositioning candidates for Alzheimer's using immune checkpoint mechanisms"

Example: Creative ideation

{
  "llm": {
    "model": "claude-sonnet::create"
  }
}

Then chat: "Generate 10 movie loglines that have never existed before"
