Open-Weight Native Execution Engine

Local Execution & Verifiable State For Autonomous AI Agents

Offload background subagent loops from cloud REST APIs to client silicon. Eliminate continuous token bills with sub-15ms latency while cryptographically signing memory in Merkle trees.

$ cargo add chord-engine

Supports Apple Metal, Qualcomm NPUs, CUDA & Linux Edge hardware.

The Developer Bottleneck & Token Crisis

Continuous subagent swarms reloading 200k+ token context windows over cloud REST endpoints create exponential COGS and unmonitored compliance risks.

Traditional Cloud REST Architecture

The Cloud API Toll Gate

  • ✕ $3,420/week per developer workstation in cloud API tolls.
  • ✕ 800ms+ sequential round-trip network latency per tool call.
  • ✕ Unverifiable self-reported logs expose legal compliance liability.
  • ✕ Silent cloud model provider quantization degrades reasoning.
Chord Engine Architecture

On-Device Local Runtime

  • ✓ $0.00 cloud token bills for background subagent loops.
  • ✓ 12ms execution latency via zero-copy mmap tensor loading.
  • ✓ Cryptographic StateRoot Merkle tree memory verification.
  • ✓ Non-repudiable InferenceProof receipts for CISO audits.
Engine Primitives

Built in Rust for Raw System Performance

1. Zero-Copy mmap Loading

Bypasses high-level wrappers to bind open-weight SLMs directly to Apple Metal, Qualcomm NPUs, and CUDA edge silicon.

2. Merkle StateRoot Memory Vault

Cryptographically signs local vector memory state transitions, preventing context corruption and memory contamination.

3. Interactive InferenceProof Receipts

Generates mathematical execution proofs satisfying SOC 2, EU AI Act, and California AI compliance audits.

ENTERPRISE CONTROL PLANE

Centralized Visibility & Policy Enforcement for CISOs

As developers adopt free on-device runtimes, corporate workstations accumulate unmonitored autonomous agents. The Chord Control Plane ($100,000 Target ACV) provides central security teams with policy governance, IP leakage monitoring, and non-repudiable SIEM audit logs.
