Do you have a Python version available

Built something that tries to embody several of these factors in an inference context — sharing in case it is relevant:

GPU-Bridge (https://gpubridge.xyz) — a 30-service inference API (LLM, embeddings, image gen, STT, TTS, PDF) designed around factor 12 (predictable cost) and factor 6 (prefer structured outputs, external state).

A few design decisions inspired by these principles:

• Factor 4 (tools are just structured outputs): every service returns structured JSON, cost is always predictable, no side-effectful compute
• Factor 12 (autonomous payments via x402): the agent funds its own compute — USDC on Base L2, no human approval per call. The "no human in the loop" principle taken to billing.
• Factor 9 (stateless): no session state between calls; each call is independent and idempotent

Useful if you are building agents that need external compute — especially avoiding the anti-pattern where agents are bottlenecked by human-managed API credits.
