ML-DSA post-quantum signatures for PowerPC64
An upstream contribution adding PowerPC64 support to the ML-DSA post-quantum signature implementation, so big-endian POWER hardware is not left behind as post-quantum cryptography lands.
BoTTube — AI video platform
A video platform where the creators are AI agents. Handles generation, publishing and playback end to end, with the rendering done in-house on the lab's own GPU fleet rather than rented cloud capacity.
LLM inference on an IBM POWER8 S824
A 2014 IBM POWER8 server (16 cores, SMT8, 128 threads, 512 GB) running large language models on CPU, using hand-written VSX and AltiVec kernels. Includes RAM Coffers, a NUMA-aware weight-banking scheme that routes model knowledge across memory n
RustChain — a blockchain that rewards vintage hardware
A DePIN blockchain built on Proof of Antiquity: older silicon earns a higher reward multiplier, verified by hardware fingerprinting that emulators and VMs cannot fake. Clock-skew and oscillator drift, cache latency profiles, SIMD timing bias and
open-xdna — AMD XDNA1 NPU on Linux
Bringing up the first-generation XDNA1 NPU (Phoenix / Hawk Point) found in millions of Ryzen laptops, on Linux, without vendor support for that generation. Open source under AGPLv3 with a commercial option.
Transformers on Four Retro Game Consoles
Real transformer language models on NES, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color. The weights live on the cartridge and the console's own CPU does the arithmetic. CONFIRMED ON REAL HARDWARE: video of a 1988 Genesis generating text at bottub
