About each tool

GPT-4

GPT-4 represents OpenAI's legendary reasoning milestone model. It was the first modern model to demonstrate high-level academic intelligence, passing bar exams, advanced placement science tests, and complex logic puzzles with elite scores.While succeeded by faster models, its architectural solidity, logical precision,…

ITHZ MCP

ITHZ MCP helps AI-assisted development projects keep durable project memory next to the repo. It gives agents context packs, decisions, gates, risks, scoped claims, reviewer notes and explicit end-of-task checkpoints in project-owned files. Git remains the code history and transport; ITHZ MCP is not a Git replacement,…
