Roadmap

Full project timeline from the first legacy commit through the planned future. Shipped versions are solid entries; planned milestones carry a "Planned" badge; the side-repo ecosystem is treated separately at the bottom.

Timeline

Legacy phase

• v0.1 to v0.5 May 2025 Shipped

  Legacy integration and project setup

  Third-year coursework iteration. Integrated the F1_Telemetry_Manager submodule, established the modular repository layout (src/, notebooks/, data/, legacy/), and verified seven FastAPI endpoint categories. A legacy_version branch preserves this work; active TFG development starts at v0.6.

  Multi-agent system: N25 to N31

  Seven LangGraph ReAct agents coordinated by a three-layer Strategy Orchestrator: MoE-style dynamic routing, Monte Carlo simulation over 500 samples ranking four strategy candidates by risk-adjusted expected outcome, and LLM synthesis producing a 14-field StrategyRecommendation. Bahrain 2025 end-to-end demo.

• v0.1.1 2026-04-09 Shipped

  R1: CLI wheel release

  First distribution artifact. Wheel f1_strat_manager-0.1.1-py3-none-any.whl on GitHub Releases. Both f1-strat and f1-sim entry points verified. Installable via uv tool install git+<repo>.

• v0.12.0 2026-04-15 Shipped

  Interfaces and distribution: FastAPI, Streamlit, Arcade

  Wired the multi-agent system into the FastAPI backend and FastMCP. Streamlit pages for race analysis and live strategy cards with inline Plotly charts. Arcade MVP: three windows from one command (pyglet 2D replay, PySide6 strategy dashboard, live telemetry grid). Voice chat rewritten with Whisper ASR and edge-tts.

  3 surfaces 7 MCP tools TCP 10 Hz stream

Stable release

• v1.0.0 2026-04-20 Shipped

  Final release: code freeze and three-surface distribution

  First stable release. Consolidates the Arcade MVP, the full seven-model ML stack, and N25-N31 with FIA RAG into a single tagged production release. Three install paths: CLI wheel, f1-arcade via uv tool install, and Streamlit + FastAPI Docker Compose.

• v1.1.0 2026-05-11 Shipped

  Benchmark suite and thesis evaluation

  Four standalone benchmark scripts covering pace, Whisper latency, six sub-agent latency, and the NLP pipeline on CPU and GPU. N33 precision-recall sweeps for overtake, safety car, and undercut models. N30B RAG benchmark comparing BGE-M3 variants over 15 ground-truth queries. Full English localization of strategy notebooks.

• v1.2.0 to v1.3.1 2026-05-12 Shipped

  Documentation site launch and custom domain

  React + Babel docs site published under docs.f1stratlab.com. Full architecture pages, agent API reference, arcade quick-start, CI/CD narrative, and graph-based page discovery. Five drawio architecture diagrams. Brand theme aligned with the F1 StratLab purple palette.

Planned milestones

• v1.6.0 Planned

  Modern frontend

  React / Vite UI replaces Streamlit. The FastAPI backend stays unchanged. A presentation-layer swap: menus, flows, and all agent endpoints remain the same; only the client is rewritten for faster load times and a production-grade SPA experience.

• v1.7.0 Planned

  Rival Agent: anticipate each rival's next move

  A new, additive LangGraph node that predicts each nearby rival's next strategic move (pit window, compound, undercut / overcut) and feeds it to the orchestrator. Recommendations move from reactive to anticipatory. The six existing agents are untouched. Validated by ablation against real 2024-2025 pit-stop outcomes.

• v1.8.0 Planned

  Live race inference and 2026 regulation adaptation

  Real-time OpenF1 WebSocket ingestion. The lap_state contract is unchanged, so agents and the orchestrator do not change. Adaptation to the 2026 technical and sporting regulation: re-cluster circuits, re-label compounds, add drift monitoring.

Side repos

These four projects ship independently of the core release train. Each is a dedicated public repository under the f1stratlab GitHub organisation. They share the F1 StratLab domain and Hugging Face org but have their own versioning and release cadence.
