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
