FAQ

Is Runtime.MiRust.com currently a full GGUF runtime?

No. The source-backed runtime currently centers on TinyRustLM and the custom .slm route. GGUF import belongs on the roadmap until it has proof comparable to the current .slm lane.

Does TinyRustLM use third-party Rust crates?

The current runtime, packer, local server, and browser harness are designed as no-crate Rust components.

Does the browser app call a remote inference API?

No. The source-backed app target is local/same-origin file loading and Rust/WASM inference. Remote inference is not part of the current claim boundary.

Is this a trained assistant?

Not yet. Deterministic smoke models and TinyLM-16M smoke artifacts prove runtime behavior. Assistant-quality claims require trained/evaluated artifacts and passed eval sidecars.

What are ADP1, ASP1, and ALR1?

They are adapter package lanes. ADP1 is raw task delta, ASP1 is sparse task delta, and ALR1 is low-rank adapter packaging. Rust validates compatible packages before applying them to a loaded model.

What is a selector registry?

A selector registry is the browser route gate for admitted model candidates and optional adapter routes. It carries budgets, manifest paths, checksums, default selection metadata, module-plan metadata, and evidence pointers.

What is a module plan?

A module plan is a receipt that tells the browser which generated modules should exist, how large they are, what checksums they have, what phase they belong to, and what dependencies they have. The browser verifies it before generated model bytes are fetched.

Why is the site built as plain PHP instead of a JavaScript app?

The public project website needs crawlable, semantic, server-rendered content. plain PHP is used as the content shell, but the site avoids dependency-heavy front-end runtimes and exposes Markdown alternates for agents.

Why include llms.txt?

llms.txt gives AI systems a concise, curated project map. It reduces the chance that a model reads the live site as a generic CMS shell or confuses future-roadmap ideas with current implementation.
