Provider Setup Guide - Detailed instructions for all supported providers

Persistent Knowledge Graphs

Kosmos maintains a persistent knowledge graph that automatically captures your entire research journey. Every hypothesis, experiment, and finding is stored in a connected graph that survives between sessions.

What Gets Captured:

Research questions and hypotheses
Experiment protocols and results
Relationships (SPAWNED_BY, TESTS, SUPPORTS, REFUTES, REFINED_FROM)
Rich provenance (who, when, why, confidence scores, p-values)

Key Benefits:

Knowledge Accumulation: Build expertise over weeks/months instead of starting fresh
Research Provenance: Track how hypotheses evolved and what evidence supports them
Collaboration: Export and share knowledge graphs with colleagues
Version Control: Save snapshots at research milestones
Data Safety: Regular exports protect against data loss

CLI Commands:

# View your accumulated knowledge
kosmos graph --stats

# Example output:
# 📊 Knowledge Graph Statistics
#
# Entities:        127
# Relationships:   243
#
# Entity Types:
#   Hypothesis: 45
#   ExperimentProtocol: 28
#   ExperimentResult: 23

# Export for backup or sharing
kosmos graph --export my_research.json

# Restore from backup
kosmos graph --import my_research.json

Automatic Persistence:

No manual action required! When you run research:

kosmos research "How do transformers learn long-range dependencies?"

Kosmos automatically persists:

ResearchQuestion entity
Generated Hypothesis entities + SPAWNED_BY relationships
ExperimentProtocol entities + TESTS relationships
ExperimentResult entities + SUPPORTS/REFUTES relationships with statistical metadata
Refined hypotheses + REFINED_FROM relationships

Setup:

# Using Docker (recommended)
docker-compose up -d neo4j

# Or manual Neo4j installation
# Ubuntu: sudo apt install neo4j
# macOS: brew install neo4j

# Configure in .env
NEO4J_URI=bolt://localhost:7687
NEO4J_PASSWORD=kosmos-password
WORLD_MODEL_ENABLED=true

Works Without Neo4j: Kosmos continues working normally if Neo4j is unavailable (graceful degradation). Graph features are optional enhancements.

Performance & Optimization

Intelligent Caching System

Kosmos includes a sophisticated multi-tier caching system that reduces API costs by 30-40%:

# View cache performance
kosmos cache --stats

# Example output:
# Overall Cache Performance:
#   Total Requests: 500
#   Cache Hits: 175 (35%)
#   Estimated Cost Savings: $15.75

Cache Types:

LLM Response Cache: API response caching (25-35% hit rate with Anthropic prompt caching)
Experiment Cache: Computational result caching (40-50% hit rate)
Embedding Cache: Vector embedding caching (in-memory, fast)
General Cache: Miscellaneous data caching

Benefits:

Reduced API costs (30%+ savings)
Faster response times (90%+ faster on cache hits)
Improved reliability (cached responses always available)
Lower environmental impact

Note: Prompt caching with significant cost savings is currently available when using Anthropic Claude. OpenAI and local providers use in-memory response caching only.

Automatic Model Selection (Anthropic Only)

When using Anthropic as your LLM provider, Kosmos intelligently selects between Claude models based on task complexity:

Claude Sonnet 4.5: Complex reasoning, hypothesis generation, analysis
Claude Haiku 4: Simple tasks, data extraction, formatting

This reduces costs by 15-20% while maintaining quality.

Note: This feature is specific to Anthropic Claude. OpenAI and other providers use a single configured model.

Expected Performance

Typical research run characteristics (using Anthropic Claude):

Duration: 30 minutes to 2 hours
Iterations: 5-15 iterations
API Calls: 50-200 calls
Cost: $5-$50 with caching (without caching: $8-$75) [Anthropic pricing]
Cache Hit Rate: 30-40% on subsequent runs [Anthropic prompt caching]

Note: Costs vary by provider. OpenAI pricing may differ. Local models (Ollama/LM Studio) have $0 API costs.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Python 3.11 or 3.12
LLM Provider - Choose one:
- Anthropic Claude (default) - API key (pay-per-use) or Claude Code CLI (Max subscription)
- OpenAI GPT - API key for GPT models
- Ollama - Free local models (no API key needed)
- Other providers - See Provider Setup Guide

Installation

Option A: Automated Setup (Recommended)

The fastest way to get started - one command does everything:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/jimmc414/Kosmos.git
cd Kosmos

# Run automated setup (creates venv, installs deps, configures environment)
make install

# Or step-by-step:
./scripts/setup_environment.sh  # Setup Python environment
./scripts/setup_docker_wsl2.sh  # Install Docker (WSL2 only, one-time)
./scripts/setup_neo4j.sh        # Setup Neo4j for knowledge graphs

What it does:

✓ Checks Python 3.11+ is installed
✓ Creates virtual environment
✓ Installs all dependencies
✓ Creates .env from template
✓ Sets up data directories
✓ Runs database migrations
✓ Verifies installation

See Automated Setup Guide for details.

Option B: Manual Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/jimmc414/Kosmos.git
cd Kosmos

# Create virtual environment
python3.11 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -e .

# For Claude Code CLI support
pip install -e ".[router]"

Configuration

Option A: Using Anthropic API

# Copy example config
cp .env.example .env

# Edit .env and set your API key
# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-ant-api03-your-actual-key-here

Get your API key from console.anthropic.com

Option B: Using Claude Code CLI (Recommended)

# 1. Install Claude Code CLI
# Follow instructions at https://claude.ai/download

# 2. Authenticate Claude CLI
claude auth

# 3. Copy example config
cp .env.example .env

# 4. Edit .env and set API key to all 9s (triggers CLI routing)
# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

This routes all API calls to your local Claude Code CLI, using your Max subscription with no per-token costs.

Initialize Database

# Run database migrations
alembic upgrade head

# Verify database created
ls -la kosmos.db
