I then run Andrej Karpathy's LLM Wiki process to turn into a simple knowledge base for the day. This is then used by a smarter model to synthesise into a daily overview.

I built CantonPay because I wanted a simple way to accept Stellar payments without creating a merchant account. You can create a payment link without registering, send it to someone, and receive the payment directly to your Stellar wallet.
