chaitanya mishra

I'm 16, in 12th grade. I write agent infrastructure. Palantir and xAI both wanted to hire me but couldn't, because I'm too young for the US security clearance their defense contracts require. I've been contributing to the Linux Foundation since I was 14. I use my own agent every day for everything I build.

Palantir
BUILTI built Aegis, a TUI for AIP's control plane. After they saw it they gave me unmetered access to every frontier model on the market. They wanted to hire me too, but defense contracts can't clear minors.
xAI
$10K+I built an agent harness for Grok that uses its multi-agent design properly instead of treating it like a single model. It beat their in-house benchmarks. They sent me over $10k in credits. Same hiring blocker as Palantir, I'm too young.
OpenAI
SPONSOREDI found Sam Altman's number in a leaked phonebook from a former prime minister and DM'd him. He sponsored my API credits and added me to the OpenAI OSS program.
Anthropic
OSSI'm in the Anthropic OSS program. Applied through the form.

A few selected projects from my GitHub. There's a lot more I'm not showing here.

The agent I use every day. One Go binary that's a TUI, headless CLI, JSON event stream, daemon, and Go SDK at the same time. Multi-provider: Anthropic, OpenAI, xAI, Gemini, Z.ai, Groq, and a dozen others. I built almost everything else on this page with it.
