Remade With Rust

The essential C and C++ tools, rebuilt in Rust. Memory safe, predictable, permissively licensed. Each project is a reimplementation rather than a fork: same wire protocols and file formats, new code you can depend on. No copyleft, no Python, no C toolchain in the build.

Remade With Rust is the open-source arm of Mata Network: "Stop sacrificing your privacy for convenience."

Models on this page

Weights for FFAI, our AI media toolkit, converted to safetensors. Every file is pinned by SHA-256 in the crate that loads it, and each model card names the upstream licence.

🧠 AI: FFAI

All the engines below are pure Rust on candle, and each can be swapped by name.

Engine	What it does
Carmenta	OCR for documents and screens: detection, recognition, deskew, word boxes and reading order
Mercury	Speech recognition (Whisper-class) and text-to-speech (VITS/Piper-class)
Argus	Vision-language captioning and VQA (SmolVLM)
Diana	Object detection (YOLO26) with ByteTrack tracking

🎬 Media

remade_ffmpeg_rs is our FFmpeg alternative: drop-in ffmpeg and ffprobe with zero GPL. It is built from these codecs: rusty_h264 · rusty_h265 · rusty-av1-toolkit · rusty_av2d · rusty-opus · rusty_flac · rusty_jpeg · rusty_png · rusty_gif · rusty_dds. Starfire is a native GameStream client for PC gaming.

🧱 Foundations


rusty_alloc	A pure-Rust allocator, the memory-safe alternative to mimalloc
rusty_zstd	Zstandard compression: zero dependencies, no C
rusty_json_turbo	serde_json with rusty_alloc as its default allocator
rusty_expressions	Oniguruma regex in pure Rust, wasm-ready
rusty_xml · rusty_erasure · rusty_time	libxml2, ISA-L erasure coding and chrony, remade
thoth · rusty_tokens · rusty_symbols · rusty_a11y	UI chrome: glyphs, design tokens and accessible HTML

🔐 Identity, data and supply chain

mID: permissionless, self-issued identity. Sign-in tokens are verified locally, with zero infrastructure calls.
SpaceDB: a local-first, CRDT-native, mesh-replicated database for a world without data centers.
Deputy: own your dependencies. Store them offline and scan every change for malware.

🔌 Embedded

Kairos: FreeRTOS and its core libraries (MQTT, SNTP, JSON) remade in Rust, each proven against the C original.
Janus (rusty_esp_*): camera, audio, radio, mID and the iroh mesh, running on ESP32 chips.

🪩 Disco Party: the MATA distributed cloud

Disco is a cloud where the machines belong to the people running them. You sign in with your mID, provision what you need and pay per use. disco party pairs your machine with your mID; then disco sites deploy ./dist puts a site on the mesh.
