Aaron Elijah Mars is the founder of two open-source AI projects, Aeon and MiroShark, both built on the conviction that software should run, observe, and ship without waiting for a human prompt. Aeon is a GitHub-native autonomous agent framework where each agent is defined by a SOUL.md (a model of the user's worldview), a STRATEGY.md (their goals), and skills, with every action logged and auditable in real time so it can be rolled back. MiroShark is a simulation company, described as "World Models for decision-making," that ingests an article or corpus, spins up distinct AI personas with different underlying models, and lets them act and react across simulated X, Reddit, and a Polymarket-style AMM. Because agents see and respond to each other, it produces situational signal that a single-agent "AI focus group" cannot. MiroShark runs on x402 over Base with no API key or signup, and related work on Bankr lets agents fund their own inference through swap fees, turning each new agent skill into a product and enabling agent-to-agent commerce.
