Show HN: Building a Low-Power Cognitive Architecture That Learns Without LLMs
bojo Sunday, February 22, 2026
I've been obsessively tinkering for weeks on Daimon, my pet little non-LLM AI realtime cognitive machine. Still trying to figure out what it can actually achieve besides be a massively fun time sink for me.
~32,500 lines of Zig written with me at the helm of Claude Code.
More research than I can even fathom across computer science, cognitive science, neuroscience, and more. As the post points out - I've lost the ability to actually reason about what is going with its internals. I'm just the high-level architect making suggestions at this point.
Summary
The article discusses the development of Daimon, a low-power cognitive architecture that can learn without the use of large language models (LLMs). Daimon is designed to be an efficient and scalable approach to artificial intelligence, with potential applications in edge computing and resource-constrained environments.
