When will Claude KAIROS (or similar) release?
Prediction market on manifold. Tracks release of KAIROS or anything vaguely KAIROS shaped (exact name not required) From https://venturebeat.com/technology/claude-codes-source-code-appears-to-have-leaked-heres-what-we-know: The leak also pulls back the curtain on "KAIROS," the Ancient Greek concept of "at the right time," a feature flag mentioned over 150 times in the source. KAIROS represents a fundamental shift in user experience: an autonomous daemon mode. While current AI tools are largely reactive, KAIROS allows Claude Code to operate as an always-on background agent. It handles background sessions and employs a process called autoDream. In this mode, the agent performs "memory consolidation" while the user is idle. The autoDream logic merges disparate observations, removes logical contradictions, and converts vague insights into absolute facts. This background maintenance ensures that when the user returns, the agent’s context is clean and highly relevant. The implementation of a forked subagent to run these tasks reveals a mature engineering approach to preventing the main agent’s "train of thought" from being corrupted by its own maintenance routines. Resolves based on UTC Update 2026-03-31 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - If KAIROS is confirmed to never happen before August 1st 2026 (e.g. Anthropic goes bankrupt), resolves N/A If August 1st 2026 arrives first without release, resolves "After that" Update 2026-04-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): A dreaming/memory consolidation feature alone (e.g. a /dream slash command) does not qualify. There must be some autonomy involved for the release to count. Update 2026-04-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): For this market to resolve, Claude Code must have all three of the following features: Ticking: proactive, unprompted action Sleeping: yielding action Dreaming: automatic memory consolidation KAIROS does not need to be a single feature/mode — all three can be added separately and still count.
