Local AI,
kept in orbit.

A transparent, community-built model lab and runtime for bringing capable local AI to older systems.

CPU reference first · Vulkan acceleration second · evidence always visible

THE MISSION

Useful hardware has
more to give.

Older GPUs welcome

Start with the evidence-backed RX580/RADV path. Add Vulkan, CUDA, ROCm, Metal, or another backend through explicit capability gates.

GPU contribution guide ↗

Models stay inspectable

New models, tokenizers, adapters, and quantization paths come with provenance, shape contracts, fixtures, and honest limitations.

Model contribution guide ↗

Experiments stay reproducible

Commands, hardware, datasets, checksums, metrics, failures, and status are part of the result—not an afterthought.

A SHARED FLIGHT PLAN

Build it together.
Show the working.

Spaceslug is for people with curious machines, constrained budgets, and useful ideas. Whether you are profiling a shader, adapting a model, documenting a failure, or taking your first local-AI step, your contribution can move the mission forward.
