# Mekong CLI v0.1.10 — 22 automated departments// The thesis
One human can ship a billion-dollar company.
Andreessen (a16z) wrote it publicly. Amodei (Anthropic) confirmed it in 2026. Pieter Levels lives it at $3M+/year, solo.
Mekong CLI is the first reusable implementation. One binary. 22 automated departments. Your laptop.
Aligned with the a16z one-person billion-dollar company thesis. Not backed. Implementing.
// The premise
Solo founders can’t hire fast enough.
Cloud subscriptions stack. Team hiring stalls at seat one. Every single-purpose copilot replaces one department and leaves twenty-one others on your plate.
Mekong runs on your Apple Silicon. 22 agent pipelines execute locally via Go + Rust. Your entire org chart fits in one binary.
// Features
Twenty-two departments. One subscription. No employees.
Six shipped primitives. The full 22-department OS on the Phase 5.4+ roadmap. No bloat. No Electron. No hidden network calls.
Solo economics
$0 fixed infra. Zero telemetry. Fully offline-capable. Your codebase and signals stay on your disk, not a vendor’s.
M1 + Linux, day one
Darwin-arm64 + linux-amd64 + linux-arm64 shipped. Sub-100ms cold start. Runs on laptops, Pi, Graviton, and standard servers.
Your autonomous org chart
Architect → coder → reasoner → auditor → trader → compliance. Deterministic dispatch via heuristic router, zero routing tax.
Institutional-grade risk
Every trade signal gated through a Rust guard. Atomic file persistence. 7% WARN / 10% KILL drawdown invariant, <100ms fail-safe.
Built for solo scale
Go orchestrator (9.8 MB binary) plus Rust FFI safety layer (354 KB dylib). Speed meets memory safety, both auditable.
Apache 2.0
Clean IP. Zero GPL dependencies. Audit-ready SBOM. Fork it, ship it, build a solo company around it.
// How it works
Three commands. That’s the whole onboarding.
Install
Tap and install via Homebrew. Two commands, done.
$ brew install mekong-ide
Configure agents
Point the CLI at your local MLX endpoints. Heuristic router does the rest.
Run pipelines
Chat, code, or run CashClaw financial analysis with kill-switch enforced.
// Install
Pick your path.
