It's literally just me hacking away. No shortcuts. I'm writing a Rust AI engine, making Discord bots that actually have a personality, and piecing together a Linux distro entirely by hand.

Projects

What I'm working on.
No corporate bloat.

Each of these actually runs on real hardware. I try to avoid lazy copy-pasting and just build things the hard way.

AI Engine · Rust
SeraphByte
A completely custom AI runner I built in Rust. Wrote my own tokenizer and everything. No Python or PyTorch overhead slowing things down.
GTX 1050 Ti · Q4_K_M · 47 tok/s
personality · Custom
Seraphine
A Program that runs entirely on my own hardware. I baked her personality straight into the model weights via LoRA, so she doesn't just rely on a boring system prompt.
Qwen2.5-7B · LoRA r=2 · self-hosted
My OS · Linux
Æther Forge
My own custom Linux setup. It's based on Arch, but I compile the kernel myself and automate the whole build process using Rust.
Custom kernel · pacman · x86_64

Sandbox

Come say hi to Seraphine.

She's hooked straight up to my AI engine over WebSockets. I have to cap it at 3 messages because my poor GTX 1050 Ti is trying its best.

Hmph. Fine, I'm here. Don't expect me to keep you company all day - what do you want?

About Me

Just me.
Doing it the hard way.

I started Vaelora because I was tired of all the black boxes and corporate wrappers in tech. I just wanted to see how things actually work under the hood.

01

Everything runs locally. I designed this stuff to run on whatever hardware you have laying around-old GPUs, spare PCs, whatever. No cloud subscriptions or vendor lock-in.

02

Writing it from scratch. I actually write the code for the tokenizers, the AI loops, and the OS kernels instead of just importing massive, bulky libraries.
