Use to give a developer an immediate local-vs-frontier model comparison before they have their own traces — "what can a local model do", "is a small model good enough", "compare a local model to a frontier model", "the onboarding climb". For comparing many models on a user's own eval, use compare-model-sweep; to serve a local model, use run-local-model-lab.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ladder — the onboarding "climb" A small, self-contained **local** web UI for watching and comparing LLMs on the same task. It is the no-data front door: a developer launches it and watches a small local model and a frontier model attempt the same task side by side — live reasoning, real tool calls, strict scoring — without needing any of their own traces first. As the task gets harder, the small local model keeps pace and then drops off where the frontier model carries on. That contrast is the hook into the rest of the improvement loop. ## When to use - A new user asks "what can a local model actually do?" / "is a small model good enough?" / "show me local vs frontier." - During or right after `onboard`, to make the local-vs-frontier difference concrete before steering them toward their own workload. - Any time a visceral, zero-setup-data demo of agentic behavior + scoring helps. For the user's **own** eval across **many** candidate models, hand off to `compare-model-sweep`. To serve a local model against the user's **real** workload, hand off to `run-local-model-lab`. ## Run it **Prerequisites** (otherwise-silent assumptions): …

How to install
mdr add understudylabs/orchestra-agent-tools/ladder@sha256:f854a4d802fa59d2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.3c367b0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
