    I built LocalGPT over 4 nights as a Rust reimagining of the OpenClaw assistant pattern (markdown-based persistent memory, autonomous heartbeat tasks, skills system). It compiles to a single ~27MB binary — no Node.js, Docker, or Python required. Key features: - Persistent memory via markdown files (MEMORY, HEARTBEAT, SOUL markdown files) — compatible with OpenClaw's format - Full-text search (SQLite FTS5) + semantic search (local embeddings, no API key needed) - Autonomous heartbeat runner that checks tasks on a configurable interval - CLI + web interface + desktop GUI - Multi-provider:…

    We wrote our inference engine on Rust, it is faster than llama cpp in all of the use cases. Your feedback is very welcomed. Written from scratch with idea that you can add support of any kernel and platform.

    Anthropic and OpenAI's publicly available models are explicitly guard-railed so that they refuse offensive tasks. And their cyber-focussed models are gated for enterprises. This leaves SMEs and mid market open to major vulnerabilities. AI can be used as both an adversarial and defensive tool in the world of cyber. A worst case outcome is if only the adversaries have access. Meanwhile, most existing AI cyber tools are just wrappers. The problem is that they still have all the guardrails on from the foundation model where they will inherit its refusals. For this project we've post-trained a…

    For the past few months, I’ve been working on a new Layer 1 blockchain designed to solve what I see as the fundamental trilemma in the space: achieving strong privacy, infinite scalability, and post-quantum security simultaneously. The result is NERV: a private-by-default, horizontally scalable blockchain that replaces Merkle trees with 512-byte neural state embeddings, proven inside Halo2 circuits and attested in hardware enclaves. Key technical innovations: Neural State Embeddings Instead of Merkle trees, the entire state of a shard is compressed into a 512-byte vector using a transformer…

    I'm one of the creators of The Edge Agent (TEA). We built this because we needed a way to deploy agents that was verifiable and robust enough for production/edge cases, moving away from loose scripts. The architecture aims to solve critical gaps in deterministic orchestration identified by *Prof. Claudionor Coelho Jr. (Stanford alum, ML/DL Faculty at Santa Clara Univ., and Senior Fellow for AI at Majestic Labs)* during our work on the Kiroku project. *Key Technical Features:* * *Neurosymbolic Native:* We integrated Prolog to logically validate LLM outputs. This combines neural…

    I'm an "ideas person" who messes around with AI on a low budget. I got tired of watching my tokens vanish and context windows filling up while agents fumbled around trying to find the right thing. Agents don't flail like they used to with shell tools, but there are still weak/blind spots and back-and-forth episodes — especially when using tools in combination/sequence. So I built "tilth" today. Or rather, AI built it — every line is Opus 4.6. I spent a lot of my precious tokens getting it to "not shit" (at least several of the different vendors' AI overlords assure me it's not…

    TL;DR: we built a framework-agnostic agent runtime that uses gVisor for isolation and runs on k8s. It’s open-source under AGPLv3 Recently we’ve been working on a customer support “AI assistant” - essentially an interactive knowledge base/L1 support but with an option to touch resources that belong to a customer it’s talking to. We found existing tools to be lacking in these aspects: 1. Fully intercepted i/o. We wanted to trace out LLM calls as well as any other networking calls attempted by the harness so that guardrails and audit trails apply to all current and future systems…

    I wanted to build an inference provider for proprietary AI models, but I did not have a huge GPU farm. I started experimenting with Serverless AI inference, but found out that coldstarts were huge. I went deep into the research and put together an engine that loads large models from SSD to VRAM up to ten times faster than alternatives. It works with vLLM, and transformers, and more coming soon. With this project you can hot-swap entire large models (32B) on demand. Its great for: Serverless AI Inference Robotics On Prem deployments Local Agents And Its open source. Let me know if anyone…
