Instead of round-robining requests to identical models, it routes tasks by capability tier (0–3, mapped to model sizes from tiny edge models up to 70B+), ensuring hard reasoning jobs go to larger models while trivial work stays on smaller ones. Key features include a Kanban-style task board with a dependency/chaining system for multi-model handoffs (e.g., small model researches, large model critiques), a web dashboard, CLI, MCP server integration, multimodal attachment support, atomic task claiming via SQLite to prevent double-processing, and crash recovery via lease expiry. The coordinator and workers are pure Python stdlib with minimal dependencies, and the whole system stays private with no data leaving the LAN. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
