Overview

A working catalog of AI tools, built eval‑first.

AI tools I build to one rule: the eval comes before the feature. None of them make the call for you. Every one keeps a human as the judge. Amplification, not replacement. You stay smarter than your tools.

    Son of Anton

    A three-machine Tailscale mesh (two GPUs plus an always-on hub) running a tiered local-LLM router. Each prompt goes to the smallest model that can handle it, and only escalates to a bigger local model, or the cloud, when it has to. It's what runs the inference and the overnight jobs behind the other projects.

    Reprise

    Adaptive learning that works out what you actually know, topic by topic, from your real activity, then tunes what it shows you next. Tell it 'too basic' or 'too advanced' and it adjusts. I use the core loop every day; the standalone desktop app is still in progress.
