Northstar Aurora
NorthStar Aurora is a touch-first Christmas light show engine — it composes, sequences, and streams pixel-mapped lighting effects to Falcon F16 controllers over E1.31/DDP. The AI side of the project (Aurora AI) fine-tunes large language models to compose original light shows from audio input.
What lives here on Hugging Face:
- Benchmark and reproducibility data from training/inference workloads on consumer-grade AMD hardware (Strix Halo / gfx1151)
- Eventually: open-sourced fine-tunes once their training pipelines are fully reproducible from public data

- Paul Durkin (@H34v3nzC0d3x) — the human behind the work
Most of our model and dataset repos are kept private; the public ones are the pieces directly useful to the broader Strix Halo and open-LLM communities.
