The engine

Xanadu

An autonomous development loop: local LLMs in a tiered cascade, mechanical error correction, and a planning layer that turns a backlog into running code — unattended.

Claude and Gemini sit at the top, handling escalations and architecture. Everything below runs locally. A 2-week plan compresses to 2–3 days of wall-clock time.

Why I built it

I started where everyone starts — Claude, Gemini, the usual suspects. I was amazed at what was possible. Then I ran out of tokens.

Most people slow down at that point. I bought a maxed-out MacBook Air and started learning local LLMs instead.

What began as a workaround turned into something more interesting: a complete development loop. Product ideation. SWOT analysis. Backlog generation. Code execution across parallel workers. Models that fail over to more capable tiers when a task is too hard. Error patterns that get learned and encoded so they don't burn retries twice.

Now I set it running overnight. By morning, the project is mostly done. When I need more firepower, I spin up RunPod. A week of backlog in an hour, at a cost that doesn't require a VC.

It didn't replace the craft — my background as a full-stack developer and technical product manager is what makes the system work, not what it replaced. I still drive. I still take the wheel when the models hit a wall, or the project needs a pivot. Agile methodology is the backbone of the whole system — not just a buzzword, but the actual structure that keeps five projects moving at once.

This isn't a silver bullet. It's a superpower.
