# 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](https://www.mata.network/)**:
*"Stop sacrificing your privacy for convenience."*

## Models on this page

Weights for **[FFAI](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/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](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/candle), and each can be swapped by name.

| Engine | What it does |
|---|---|
| **[Carmenta](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/carmenta)** | OCR for documents and screens: detection, recognition, deskew, word boxes and reading order |
| **[Mercury](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/mercury)** | Speech recognition (Whisper-class) and text-to-speech (VITS/Piper-class) |
| **[Argus](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/argus)** | Vision-language captioning and VQA (SmolVLM) |
| **[Diana](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/diana)** | Object detection (YOLO26) with ByteTrack tracking |

## 🎬 Media

**[remade_ffmpeg_rs](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/remade_ffmpeg_rs)** is our FFmpeg alternative: drop-in `ffmpeg` and `ffprobe` with zero GPL. It is built from these codecs:

[rusty_dds](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/rusty_dds).
**[Starfire](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/starfire)** is a native GameStream client for PC gaming.

## 🧱 Foundations

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

## 🔐 Identity, data and supply chain

- **[mID](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/mid)**: permissionless, self-issued identity. Sign-in tokens are verified locally, with zero infrastructure calls.
- **[SpaceDB](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/spacedb)**: a local-first, CRDT-native, mesh-replicated database for a world without data centers.
- **[Deputy](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/deputy)**: own your dependencies. Store them offline and scan every change for malware.

## 🔌 Embedded

- **[Kairos](https://github.com/Remade-With-Rust/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](https://www.mata.network/)** 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.

- **Available now:** identity.
- **In preview:** hosting, edge functions, object storage, CDN, DNS and managed SpaceDB.

Everything above is built so that going live on Disco is a command, not a migration.
