ruv-FANN: The Neural Intelligence Framework 🧠

Crates.io Documentation License CI

What if intelligence could be ephemeral, composable, and surgically precise?

Welcome to ruv-FANN, a comprehensive neural intelligence framework that reimagines how we build, deploy, and orchestrate artificial intelligence. This repository contains groundbreaking projects that work together to deliver unprecedented performance in neural computing, forecasting, and multi-agent orchestration.

🌟 The Vision

We believe AI should be:

  • Ephemeral: Spin up intelligence when needed, dissolve when done
  • Accessible: CPU-native, GPU-optional - built for the GPU-poor
  • Composable: Mix and match neural architectures like LEGO blocks
  • Precise: Tiny, purpose-built brains for specific tasks

This isn't about calling a model API. This is about instantiating intelligence.
