Qoranet's Pure Rust AI Infrastructure

#ai #blockchain #opensource #rust

⚡ QoraNet

Pure Rust AI Infrastructure for the Privacy-First Blockchain

Building AI models that run without Python, without cloud, without paid APIs.
Just Rust. Just your machine. Just freedom.

🧠 What We're Building

QoraNet is building the world's first privacy-first blockchain with native AI infrastructure — and we're open-sourcing the AI models that power it.

Our AI stack is built entirely in Rust using the Burn framework. No Python runtime. No PyTorch. No TensorFlow. No CUDA dependency. No C++ libraries.

One binary. Zero dependencies. Runs anywhere.

🗺️ Roadmap — What's Coming

We're building a complete multi-modal AI suite in pure Rust:

Model Status Description Link
QORA-LLM ✅ Released Language model — chat, reasoning, code https://huggingface.co/qoranet/QORA-LLM
QORA-TTS ✅ Released Text-to-speech — voice synthesis https://huggingface.co/qoranet/QORA-TTS
QORA-Vision-Image ✅ Released Image + video understanding https://huggingface.co/qoranet/QORA-Vision-Image
QORA-Vision-Video ✅ Released Speech-to-text — voice input https://huggingface.co/qoranet/QORA-Vision-Video
QORA-Agent 📅 Planned Autonomous AI agent with tool use

Each model follows the same philosophy: pure Rust, zero dependencies, runs locally, free forever.

🏗️ Part of the QoraNet Ecosystem

Our AI models are a core component of the QoraNet blockchain — the world's fastest Layer-1 with mandatory privacy.

Key Blockchain Features

  • 400ms instant finality — 10-50x faster than any EVM chain
  • Mandatory ZK-SNARK privacy — all tokens private by default
  • 34 native modules — DEX, orderbook, perpetuals, oracle, chat, AI, auth, KYC, and more
  • Full EVM compatibility — deploy Solidity contracts with built-in privacy
  • Native encrypted chat — E2E encrypted messaging, video, and voice calls
  • On-chain AI billing — token-based payments for AI inference

🔐 Our AI Philosophy

Principle What It Means
Pure Rust No Python, no C++ FFI, no heavy runtimes
Zero Dependencies Single binary, nothing else to install
Local First Runs on your hardware, not our servers
Privacy by Default Your data never leaves your machine
Free Forever No API keys, no subscriptions, no limits
Cross Platform Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android
Open Source Fully auditable, community-driven

⚡ Why Rust for AI?

Most AI models require Python + PyTorch + CUDA. We took a different path:

Python Stack QoraNet (Rust)
Install size 2-10 GB Single binary
Startup time 10-30 seconds < 1 second
Memory usage High (GC overhead) Minimal (zero-cost abstractions)
GPU required Usually yes No
Cross-compile Painful Native
Security Runtime errors Compile-time safety
Deployment Docker + dependencies Copy one file

🤝 Community & Contributing

We're building in the open and welcome contributions:

📜 License

Our AI models are open source. See individual model repos for specific license details.

Built with 🦀 Rust and 🔥 Burn

AI should be private, fast, free, and yours. We're making that real.
