Watches HuggingFace daily for releases that could replace the local models I run on my own hardware, then stops the incumbent and benchmarks a real candidate against my own production tasks before I hear about it.

Watches what every model I run in production costs, runs tiered evals judged by Claude, and only recommends a swap once a real build-gate bake-off proves it's safe. Never switches anything itself.

My self-owned TripIt replacement; booking emails become a calendar my phone follows anywhere, a Home Assistant dashboard, and a Departures web app; 169 trips, auto-updated.
