building a digital doorman

A lightweight AI agent that answers questions about my work by reading actual code. Architecture, security, and model selection decisions.

The model used is a Claude model, not self-hosted, so I'm not sure why the infrastructure is at all relevant here, except as click bait?

Meh it's kind of interesting. Even if it is just a ridiculously over engineered agent orchestrator for a chat box and code search

We need more infra in the cloud instead of focusing on local RTX cards.

We need OpenRunPods to run thick open weights models.

Build in the cloud rather than bet on "at the edge" being a Renaissance.
