Automated Free-Model Tracking for OpenRouter & Webhook Alerting

An automated monitoring tool that tracks OpenRouter’s free AI models and detects when models are added, removed, or stop being available for free. The system can send Discord webhook alerts when a model you’re using is no longer free, helping prevent unexpected disruptions and keeping AI workflows cost-conscious.

Built to run on a scheduled basis, the project combines automation, API monitoring, and real-time notifications to make managing free AI models more reliable.

LLM-Powered Global News Aggregation & Summarization

An automated news intelligence pipeline that aggregates content from 50+ news sources and uses LLMs to identify and summarize the 10 most important global stories. The system transforms large volumes of unstructured news into concise, actionable summaries and delivers them directly to Discord via webhooks, using OpenRouter for model inference.

End-to-End Machine Learning Algorithm Implementations

A hands-on machine learning portfolio covering core paradigms including supervised learning, unsupervised learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning. The repository implements and explores techniques across classification, regression, clustering, neural networks, and reinforcement learning, providing practical implementations of fundamental ML concepts.
