Your prompts, history, and context vaults never leave your hardware.</li> <li> <strong>Sovereign Math Framework:</strong> Features a metadata pacer and HMAC-SHA256 cryptographic response branding to ensure data integrity.</li> <li> <strong>Bring Your Own AI (BYOAI):</strong> Because it speaks a standard API shape, you can hook it up to any compatible tool—like <strong>VS Code (Continue)</strong>, <strong>Open WebUI</strong>, <strong>LM Studio</strong>, or <strong>Jan</strong>—and your data stays portable.</li> <li> <strong>Zero-Code Quick Start:</strong> It includes plain-English guidance and copy-pasteable setup prompts so non-technical users can secure their local AI pipelines in minutes.</li> </ul> <h3> Quick Example (Python SDK) </h3> <p>If you want to plug it into custom scripts or web UIs, it's just standard OpenAI configuration pointing to the local loopback:</p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> python from openai import OpenAI client = OpenAI( base_url="[http://127.0.0.1:11834/v1](http://127.0.0.1:11834/v1)", api_key="ggg-local" # loopback proxy token ) response = client.chat.completions.create( model="ggg-local-sovereign", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello from behind the sovereign gate."}] ) print(response.choices[0].message.content) Check it out GitHub Repository: https://github.com/JOxKxER/garza-global-graviton Live Landing Page: https://global-graviton-gauntlet.onrender.com I'd love for folks to check out the architecture, run it locally, and share feedback or pull requests! What are you using for your local AI workflows right now? </code></pre> </div> opensource ai privacy security
