# Symbiont

A self-sustaining AI orchestrator that manages its own compute costs through intelligent LLM routing.

## Architecture

- **Router**: Classifies tasks and dispatches to the cheapest capable model
- **Dispatcher**: Executes tasks via Claude Code CLI (Pro account) with fallback tiers
- **Ledger**: Tracks every inference call, cost, and associated revenue
- **Scheduler**: Handles rate-limit backoff and self-waking timers

## Model Tiers

| Tier | Model | Use Case |
|------|-------|----------|
| 1 | Haiku | Classification, extraction, simple formatting |
| 2 | Sonnet | Content writing, code gen, analysis |
| 3 | Opus | Strategic decisions, complex reasoning, QA |

## Setup

1. Authenticate Claude Code CLI: `claude login`
2. Install dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt`
3. Run: `python3 -m symbiont.main`
