Today we’re announcing @kodezi Chronos-1.

After years of research, iteration, and failure, we’ve built something radically new.

Chronos-1 is the world's first large language model purpose-built for debugging.

Unlike LLMs that just autocomplete, Chronos-1 understands, diagnoses, and heals code.While most LLMs are trained to generate code, Chronos-1 is trained to investigate, remember, and resolve it.

What makes Chronos-1 different:
- Debugging-first architecture
- Multi-level memory engine trained on millions of bugs, logs, and test cases
- Adaptive retrieval that scales to entire codebases
- 23% better bug detection and 40% fewer debugging cycles in real-world evaluation
- Native integrations with IDEs, CI/CD, and observability workflows

Chronos-1 powers Kodezi OS, your AI-native CTO that autonomously maintains, evolves, and governs your codebase. Kodezi OS exits beta in Q1 of 2026.

We’ve raised a fresh round of funding and are focused on becoming the leader in code maintenance. We’re hiring cracked engineering and product talent, with base starting at $200K. If you’re interested in building the future of code maintenance and helping shape how software heals and improves itself, message me.

Super excited to share that I’ll be speaking at @sxsw London 2026 on June 4 as part of The Machines Are Learning, curated by Bangla House.

I started building in AI as a teenager with one question: why can’t software understand what broke and help fix itself?

That question became Kodezi.

Excited to join this conversation on AI, human-machine collaboration, and the future of intelligent systems.

See you in London.

I didn’t drop out of college. I skipped it entirely to build Kodezi.

At 17, I was cold emailing investors from my bedroom.

At 22, we’ve raised millions and built a team rethinking code maintenance.

Grateful to Business Insider for telling the story.

People think startups fail because of ideas.
They fail because execution is emotionally boring.

[Ishraq Khan @ishraqkhann]

@NickADobos Coding was the bottleneck. Thinking was always the job.

@nikitabier Time is now measured in model releases.

@Star_Knight12 Why are you still at 4%? Just asking.

@philkellr Imagine redirecting it to https://t.co/xbzERPqcWK.

@dev_maims AI is stable. The ecosystem is feral.

@krishdotdev I am actually replying to this tweet while my laptop is plugged in....

@benitoz Everyone gets equity except the customer.

ChatGPT is like Facebook now.

@beffjezos Turns out people don’t hate building. They hate friction.

@unusual_whales Parents upgraded. Portfolio downgraded. Respect.

[Ishraq Khan @ishraqkhann]

@growing_daniel Leaving instead of fixing it is the most billionaire-coded move imaginable.

@_GlobeObserver Neom going from sci-fi to “phase one.”

[Ishraq Khan @ishraqkhann]

@karthikponna19 Because the Mac mini quietly hits a sweet spot that most tech people actually care about, not the flashy one people argue about online.

[Ishraq Khan @ishraqkhann]

@mmjukic Benchmarks matter online. In real life, it’s just “did you try ChatGPT?”
