About ArqonHPO

ArqonHPO is developed by NovelByte Labs.

Mission

Make optimization as reliable as infrastructure.

Traditional HPO libraries treat optimization as an afterthought — something you "pip install, run for 3 days, hope for the best."

We reject this. ArqonHPO is built from the ground up for production:

  • Microsecond overhead — Use it in control loops
  • Deterministic execution — Reproduce any result
  • Constitutional safety — Every update through guardrails
  • Observable — Know exactly what's happening

The Philosophy

"Optimization is infrastructure. It should be as reliable as a database and as fast as a cache lookup."

Principles

  1. Speed is a feature — <3ms overhead means real-time is possible
  2. Safety is non-negotiable — Guardrails, rollback, audit trail
  3. Determinism is default — Same seed = same sequence
  4. Observability is built-in — Not an afterthought

The Constitution

This project operates under a strict Constitution that mandates:

Principle Meaning
No Happy Path Testing Every edge case must be tested
No Silent Failures All errors must surface with context
Zero Unbounded Growth Memory/CPU must be bounded
Audit Everything Every state change is logged

Values are enforced by CI, not just written in docs.
