Free Edge-Based AI Swarms

Run unlimited AI agent swarms directly in browsers, edge devices, and serverless functions - with zero cloud costs.

RuVector Edge eliminates the need for expensive cloud infrastructure by enabling peer-to-peer AI coordination that runs entirely on the edge. Your agents communicate directly with each other using military-grade encryption, no central servers required.

import init, { WasmIdentity, WasmHnswIndex, WasmSemanticMatcher } from '@ruvector/edge';

await init();

// Agents run free - in browsers, workers, edge functions
const identity = WasmIdentity.generate();
const matcher = new WasmSemanticMatcher();
const vectorIndex = new WasmHnswIndex(128, 16, 200);

Why Edge-First Swarms?

Traditional Cloud Swarms	RuVector Edge Swarms
Pay per API call	Free forever
Data leaves your network	Data stays local
Central point of failure	Fully distributed
Vendor lock-in	Open source
High latency (round-trip to cloud)	Sub-millisecond (peer-to-peer)
Limited by server capacity	Scales with your devices

The Economics of Edge AI

Cloud AI Swarm (10 agents, 1M operations/month):
├── API calls:        $500-2000/month
├── Compute:          $200-500/month
├── Bandwidth:        $50-100/month
└── Total:            $750-2600/month

RuVector Edge Swarm:
├── Infrastructure:   $0
├── API calls:        $0
├── Bandwidth:        $0 (P2P)
└── Total:            $0/month forever

Core Philosophy

1. Zero Infrastructure Costs

Your swarm runs on devices you already own - browsers, phones, laptops, Raspberry Pis, edge servers. No cloud bills, no API limits, no usage caps.

2. Privacy by Default

Agent communication never touches external servers. All data stays within your network. Post-quantum encryption ensures even future quantum computers can't decrypt your traffic.

3. True Decentralization

No single point of failure. Agents discover each other, elect leaders via Raft consensus, and continue operating even when nodes go offline.

4. Browser-Native

The entire stack compiles to 364KB of WebAssembly. Run sophisticated AI swarms in web workers, service workers, or directly in the browser - no backend required.

Installation

npm install @ruvector/edge

Quick Start

Browser/Node.js (ESM)

import init, {
  WasmIdentity,
  WasmCrypto,
  WasmHnswIndex,
  WasmSemanticMatcher,
  WasmRaftNode,
  WasmSpikingNetwork
} from '@ruvector/edge';

// Initialize WASM module
await init();

// 1. Create agent identity (Ed25519 keypair)
const agent = WasmIdentity.generate();
console.log(`Agent ID: ${agent.agent_id()}`);
console.log(`Public Key: ${agent.public_key_hex()}`);

// 2. Sign and verify messages
const message = new TextEncoder().encode("Task: analyze dataset");
const signature = agent.sign(message);
const isValid = agent.verify(message, signature);

// 3. Encrypt communications (AES-256-GCM)
const crypto = new WasmCrypto();
const key = crypto.generate_key();
const encrypted = crypto.encrypt(key, message);
const decrypted = crypto.decrypt(key, encrypted);

// 4. Vector search for agent matching (HNSW - 150x faster)
const index = new WasmHnswIndex(128, 16, 200);
index.insert("rust-agent", new Float32Array(128).fill(0.9));
index.insert("python-agent", new Float32Array(128).fill(0.1));
const query = new Float32Array(128).fill(0.85);
const matches = index.search(query, 3);

// 5. Semantic task routing
const matcher = new WasmSemanticMatcher();
matcher.register_agent("code-agent", "rust typescript javascript programming");
matcher.register_agent("data-agent", "python pandas numpy analysis");
const best = matcher.find_best_agent("write a rust function");
console.log(`Best agent: ${best}`);

// 6. Distributed consensus (Raft)
const members = ["node-1", "node-2", "node-3"];
const raft = new WasmRaftNode("node-1", members);
const voteRequest = raft.start_election();

Web Worker Example

// worker.js - Run swarm logic in a worker thread
import init, { WasmIdentity, WasmSemanticMatcher } from '@ruvector/edge';

let identity, matcher;

self.onmessage = async (e) => {
  if (e.data.type === 'init') {
    await init();
    identity = WasmIdentity.generate();
    matcher = new WasmSemanticMatcher();
    matcher.register_agent(identity.agent_id(), e.data.capabilities);
    self.postMessage({ type: 'ready', agentId: identity.agent_id() });
  }

  if (e.data.type === 'route') {
    const best = matcher.find_best_agent(e.data.task);
    self.postMessage({ type: 'routed', agent: best });
  }
};

net.reset();                     // Reset membrane potentials

WasmQuantizer

8-bit scalar quantization for bandwidth reduction.

const q = new WasmQuantizer();

Use Cases

1. Browser-Based AI Assistants

Run multiple specialized agents in web workers - code assistant, researcher, writer - all coordinating locally without API calls.

2. Offline-First Applications

Agents continue working without internet. Sync when connectivity returns using built-in conflict resolution.

3. Privacy-Preserving AI

Process sensitive documents entirely client-side. Medical records, legal documents, financial data never leave the browser.

4. IoT Swarm Coordination

Raspberry Pis, ESP32s, and edge devices run lightweight agents that coordinate without cloud infrastructure.

5. Multiplayer AI Games

Players' AI companions coordinate in real-time via WebRTC, with Raft ensuring consistent game state.

6. Decentralized Marketplaces

AI agents negotiate, bid, and transact directly with cryptographic verification and no middleman.
