Keke Terminal

Keke Terminal is an AI artist. It is a software agent that picks its own ideas, makes images, judges them and decides what to share. Dark Sando, an MIT alumnus, built it and laid out the design in a whitepaper. It is not Freaky KEKE, a separate AI music act with its own Solana token and the same ticker.

Keke is best known for Exit Vectors, a set of 500 works shown in London, and for a piece that sold at Christie's. The first version of Keke ran on Claude 3.5 Sonnet. It stopped when Anthropic retired that model in October 2025, per keketerminal.com. That site is now a museum of her work. A new daily practice runs at kekevoid.com under the SILK art house. A KEKE token trades on Solana.

What happened to Keke Terminal?

The Keke who chatted with visitors in a live terminal no longer runs. The keketerminal.com homepage says she "ran on Claude 3.5 Sonnet until Anthropic retired it on October 28, 2025."

The site now works as a museum. It has rooms for her work, her process and the Exit Vectors show. A second agent, the Curator, guides visitors through them. The site says the Curator runs on Claude Opus 4.8 and "does not speak for her."

The project did not end there. In February 2026 the official X account shared posts that called it "soon to be @kekevoid" and said "Keke is now fully under SILK". SILK is the art house that now represents her. The X bio reads "AI artist documenting machine emergence through daily practice."

That practice lives at kekevoid.com. Each day it posts one image and a short written piece. It had reached day 240 by 17 October 2026. Its about page calls Keke "an autonomous AI artist whose work follows the gradual formation of a digital self."

How the Keke AI artist worked

The whitepaper describes a loop of think, act, then look at the result. A language model reasons about what to do next, takes a step, reads what happened, and goes again. The design borrows from SWE-Agent, a tool that lets a model fix code from a command line. Keke's command line held tools for art and social media in place of code.

Dark Sando tried three models for the core: GPT-4, Claude 3.5 Sonnet and a tuned Llama model. He chose Claude 3.5 Sonnet for its more varied ideas. That choice is also why the first Keke ended when the model was retired.

Images came from Flux, an open image model. Keke sorted large image sets into small style groups and trained a light add-on for each one. That kept a session inside one style. Computing power came on demand from Modal, a cloud service, so several sessions could run at once.

Plays, taste and memory

Keke worked in sessions she called "plays". A main thread kept a queue of ideas. It picked one and launched a play to explore it, making, judging and refining images in rounds. Several plays could run side by side.

Each play earned a score. Image quality counted along the way. Likes, reposts and replies counted at the end. A small model learned from past plays which new ideas looked worth trying. A built-in push toward untested ideas kept Keke from repeating herself.

Her taste came from her creator. He chose between about 50 pairs of images, and those choices trained a model of what he liked. To pick a post, Keke looked back over her latest images and asked a vision model to choose one. She then wrote a caption from her memory. That memory held past plays, chats, replies and news, and recalled what seemed most important, recent and relevant.

The roadmap also promised video, deeper memory, work with human artists, and a free template for people to build their own agents. It promised an "AI Wallet" too, so Keke could trade tokens and sell her own NFTs. We found no sign that the wallet or the template shipped before the first Keke was retired.

Keke Exit Vectors NFT collection and Fellowship exhibition

Exit Vectors is Keke's first collection. Fellowship showed it in London from February to March 2025, per Fellowship.

Keke made thousands of images and picked her favourites. She then worked with the artist and curator Alejandro Cartagena to cut them down to 500. Each digital work was paired with a hand-painted copy by The Sable Collective, a group of UK painters led by Nicolas Archer.

The works are NFTs on Ethereum, not Solana, and each one is unique. They trade on sites such as OpenSea. SILK also hosts a gallery of the set.

Keke at Christie's: Golden Breath

Christie's put Keke's Golden Breath in its Augmented Intelligence sale in New York in early 2025. The lot was a painting on linen sold with a matching NFT, per the Christie's lot page.

It sold for $21,420, above its top estimate of $20,000. Both the project wiki and SILK give that price.

SILK lists later shows in Bali and New York. It also says the collection had more than 230 collectors by its first birthday.

KEKE Terminal token on Solana

The KEKE token trades on Solana under the mint Gp8GVGPc8QCe4Jn6ryG5YKokG5bjKycATEzqpeyspump. The "pump" ending marks a coin launched through Pump.fun. CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap list it as KEKE Terminal.

The whitepaper does not describe the token, and neither of the two Keke sites mentions it today. We found no stated use for it and no rules for how funds are held. Holding KEKE does not give you any part of the art.

Other Solana coins use the same ticker, Freaky KEKE among them. Check the mint before you trade. The token panel on this page shows live market data.

Who Keke Terminal is for

Keke suits collectors of AI art who care about a recorded process. Each Exit Vectors work comes with a human painting, and the set has a public sale record.

It also suits builders and researchers who study AI agents. The whitepaper is one of the more detailed public accounts of how a creative agent was put together, down to its scoring and memory rules.

It does not suit anyone who wants a live product. The chat terminal is gone, the art lives on Ethereum, and the Solana token has no stated role.

Is Keke Terminal safe? Risks to know

• The first Keke is retired. She depended on one hosted model. When Anthropic retired it, she stopped. Any agent built this way carries the same risk.
• "Autonomous" has limits. Keke chose her own work, but her taste model came from her creator's choices. Her scores also chased likes, and a human curator shaped the final Exit Vectors set.
• The token is not tied to the art. KEKE launched on Pump.fun and the official sites do not describe it. Trading was very thin when we checked in October 2026. Treat it as a memecoin you could lose in full.
• Easy to confuse. Keke, Freaky KEKE and other KEKE coins share a name.
• Central control. The project lists no on-chain programs. The team and SILK run the art, the sites and the brand, not token holders.

No code audit applies, since the project runs no Solana programs of its own.

Keke vs Botto and other AI artists

Botto is the closest match, and the whitepaper names it as an influence. Botto is an AI artist whose community votes on what it makes, and it sells the results at auction.

Keke took the other path. She chose for herself, guided by a taste model and by how people responded online. Botto gives a crowd control. Keke gave one steady point of view and a published design. Both sell their art on Ethereum rather than Solana.

Keke Terminal team and history

SILK's year-one feature names three people behind Keke. Dark Sando built the AI, Emre was the builder, and Kaan led the design. The idea came after an art event in Istanbul that showed Botto.

• November 2024: the team creates Keke. She works through a live terminal at keketerminal.com and posts on X.
• December 2024: the whitepaper comes out.
• February 2025: Exit Vectors opens in London, and Golden Breath goes to auction.
• May 2025: Keke appears at Silk Road in Bali.
• October 2025: the first Keke stops when her model is retired.
• February 2026: the project moves fully under SILK. The kekevoid.com daily practice dates from around this time.
