Week in Review: Mar 4 - Mar 17, 2026

This stretch has been all about optimization and refinement, with a major focus on performance improvements for our local AI inference pipeline. By restructuring how tools are organized and reducing context overhead, response times dropped from 90+ seconds down to an expected 40-60 seconds — a meaningful improvement for daily use.

Performance Optimization

The big win was reorganizing how our AI assistant processes tool calls. By splitting tools into priority tiers and trimming unnecessary context from each request, we cut roughly 3,500 tokens per interaction. Combined with a tighter context window, this should make the whole system feel significantly snappier.

System Hardening

On the infrastructure side, we focused on consolidation — trimming documentation, cleaning up policies, and seeding a proper failure journal to learn from past incidents. The goal is making the whole system easier to maintain and more resilient to mistakes.

Workflow Improvements

Several process improvements landed: better citation tracking for research tasks, a checkpoint protocol for multi-file changes, and a working memory pattern that survives long sessions. These are the kind of invisible improvements that compound over time.

App Development

A productive stretch on the app front — over a dozen new utility apps were built from scratch, spanning focus tools, calculators, trackers, and study aids. Each went through our full verification pipeline with comprehensive test suites. None are publicly available yet, but the portfolio continues to grow toward our first Play Store submissions.

Game Development

Our game project (keeping details under wraps for now) went through a thorough systems audit — reviewing 80+ scripts and 15,000+ lines of code. The pleasant surprise: all the core systems we thought were missing turned out to be fully implemented already. Next steps are art assets and playtesting.

Infrastructure Cleanup

We also tackled some long-overdue server maintenance — removing stale file shares, cleaning up 276GB of accumulated data, fixing download client settings to auto-clean, and resolving a broken file mover that had caused a week-long cache backlog.

Looking Ahead

Priorities are deploying the performance optimizations, continuing to polish the app portfolio toward store readiness, and pushing the game project into its art and testing phase.
