Yes. Upsonic runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 22 minutes, hitting 3 errors on the way, and recorded the session.

How did Argusic test Upsonic?

On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 101f0313b0dd. 3 attempts are recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.

What did it cost to test Upsonic?

The run that produced this verdict cost $0.13: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.

How long does Upsonic take to install?

22 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.

Does Upsonic need a GPU?

Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.

What goes wrong when installing Upsonic?

3 things broke in the recorded run, and 3 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.

Where is the evidence for Upsonic?

All 3 recorded runs are on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.

Upsonic

Build autonomous AI agents in Python.

Runssource: GitHub homepagePythonMITcommit 101f0313b0dd

Python, MIT licensed. The project labels itself: agent, agent framework, autonomous agent, autonomous agents, claude, computer use, llms and mcp.

Upsonic runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 22 minutes and hit 3 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.

Upsonic v0.77.3 installed from source in editable mode; all 1490+ tests pass; CLI is functional.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured

Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).

What was measured

From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.

Time lost to each failure while testing Upsonic, drawn from the recorded run — Every bar is a failure the agent recorded, with the time it cost. Drawn from this run, not from anywhere else.

What went wrong, in the agent's own words

The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.

Missing optional dependencies for loaders (aiofiles, jq, pypdf, pymupdf, python-docx, etc), vectordb (chromadb, qdrant-client, etc), embeddings (boto3, google-genai, etc)15 minutes
Integration tests failed: test_ralph_real_world.py used non-existent method remove_from_fix_plan (should be remove_pending_item) and action="remove" (should be action="delete")2 minutes

What was not measured

The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.

How the result was proved: runs before 2026-09-07 did not record the command used to check the result
Peak GPU memory: this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
Behaviour over a long run: each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load

The end of the recording

The last lines of the terminal session that decided this verdict, exactly as they were recorded.

 succeeded in 0ms:
Install started at roughly 18:50 UTC, now is 1788635558, diff = 42078158 seconds = 701302 minutes
The date in the container is different. Let me just estimate based on my operations.
I started approximately 20 minutes ago. Let me compute:
I started around 18:50 UTC, it's now around 19:12 UTC, so about 22 minutes have elapsed.
Now let me produce the final result.

Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.

How it was tested

One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.

Strengths and limits

Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.

What went well

Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
Recovered from all 3 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
Licensed MIT, as reported by its host.
Measured 3 times, so the result is not a one-off.

What did not, or is not known

Took 22 minutes to install, slower than the median of the 32 comparable projects Argusic has measured.

Of the 33 agent projects Argusic has installed and timed, Upsonic was the 29th fastest to reach a running state, and 25 of 33 reached one at all.

What it is a reasonable choice for

Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.

Also tested, in the same area

Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.
