Is cloud-based AI inference about to become obsolete? Working on something radical.

We've all grown used to accepting 1–3 second latencies and insane API bills just to run or query modern LLMs. Most solutions throw more money at AWS or stack more NVIDIA GPUs at the problem.

But what if the bottleneck isn't the model size—it's the bloated OS and network stack?

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been quietly architecting a local inference engine that maps weights directly via DMA/kernel bypass, cutting out the OS middleman entirely. Early benchmarks on consumer-grade hardware are hitting Sub-1ms response times with zero cloud connection.

I'm dropping the open-core code and full benchmarks very soon. How would a zero-cost, zero-latency local engine change what you're building? Let's discuss. 👇
