Meridian OS

Built With

This project was built using frontier-planner-mode — a delegation pattern where a frontier model (Opus 4.7) handles architecture and decisions while an on-prem executor (Qwen3.6-35B on MLX) handles heavy token generation. Roughly 93k output tokens of implementation were produced by the executor across three parallel streams while the planner stayed in architect mode.
