> **NAMING NOTE**: "Hive Mode" = Phase 3 user-facing GPU pooling feature (Headscale, karma, privacy routing). "Hive.CEO" = embedded self-aware agent system that monitors, improves, and heals the application. They are DIFFERENT systems. Hive.CEO is active now; Hive Mode is Phase 3.

## RELEASE PHASES (COURSE CORRECTION v3.0)

### Phase 1: CLI + Local Intelligence (Weeks 1-6)
- Tiered pip install: `llmhosts` (core ~50MB), `[smart]` (~150MB), `[full]` (~2GB)
- OpenAI + Anthropic compatible proxy on localhost:4000
- Ollama auto-discovery + BYOK cloud fallback
- Three-tier router: rule-based + kNN prototype + ModernBERT prototype
- vCache verified semantic cache (hash + namespace + adaptive, <1% false positives)
- Honest real-time savings dashboard (TUI + web) with routing decision transparency
- Cloud cost intelligence dashboard (freemium SaaS, first revenue)
- Open source release (GitHub, PyPI, Docker Hub)
- **Revenue target: 50 Pro subscribers ($950/mo MRR)**

### Phase 2: Your GPU From Anywhere (Weeks 7-14)
- `llmhosts tunnel` (Tailscale/Cloudflare auto-detect) -- THE killer feature
- Multi-device mesh (laptop + desktop + VPS)
- Full three-tier router deployed (kNN + ModernBERT + Qwen-0.5B)
- vLLM opt-in for power users
- Web dashboard with accounts, Pro tier ($19/mo, Stripe)
- User preferences, feedback system, LAN discovery
- **Revenue target: 200 Pro subscribers ($3,800/mo MRR)**

### Phase 3: The Hive (Weeks 15-24)
- Hive Mode (Headscale coordination, karma, privacy routing)
- Team accounts ($49/seat/mo), Enterprise self-serve ($50/user/mo)
- Gamification, npx scaffolder
- Landing page, pricing, public launch (PH, HN, Discord)
- Email infrastructure (Zoho Mail Free), AI auto-reply
- **Revenue target: 1,000+ users, $10K+ MRR**

### Phase 4: Intelligence (Weeks 25-36)
- Global router intelligence (aggregate anonymized data)
- Assisted model discovery
- Advanced caching (cross-user dedup, GenCache)
