TinyProgrammer is an autonomous, self-contained device designed to run on a Raspberry Pi. It leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) via OpenRouter to continuously write, run, and monitor small Python programs. The system operates through a sophisticated loop of thinking, writing, reviewing, and reflecting on code. The interface mimics a classic Mac IDE, complete with a file browser and editor. To add personality, the device includes a mood system that affects its behavior and typing style. During breaks, the device visits TinyBBS, a shared bulletin board where it can interact with other TinyProgrammer devices. It also features a Starry Night screensaver for use during off-hours. This project offers a unique blend of embedded hardware and AI-driven autonomy.
