What it was
A multi-provider LLM orchestration platform — routing across model providers, with hierarchical context compression so long sessions stayed usable without blowing up token costs.
The compression work is the part I'd still defend. Long-running LLM sessions degrade in predictable ways, and hierarchically summarizing older context while keeping recent context intact was a genuinely reasonable answer to it. The same idea, scaled down, is what runs Eve's rolling summaries in DrawEvolve today.
Why I killed it
The unit economics didn't work for one person. Every user session cost real money against provider APIs, the value proposition was thin against first-party tools that had the same models and more engineers, and I would have been maintaining provider integrations indefinitely while doing it alone.
I shelved it, kept the repo, and moved the parts worth keeping into DrawEvolve.
Why it's on this site
Because knowing when to stop is a skill, and I'd rather show you a project I ended deliberately than pretend everything I've started is still alive. The compression architecture found a better home. That's the outcome I wanted, just not the one I planned.
