NewEntity.ai is a POSIX-compliant environment for AI-enabled systems. The product was developed by New Entity Operations Inc. in an effort to bolster local-first Artificial Intelligence solutions for the general public.
New Entity AI™ is a complete AI and autonomous systems environment that enables local-first AI use in seconds without constraining the operator to one model, API, or toolset. All toolsets, programs, constructs, and runtimes work within the virtual environment and a custom format called EntityScript™ can be used to automate and deploy local-first AI agents.
The system uses a simple MAINTAINME methodology that takes advantage of both environment variables in shell, and helper scripts. NewEntity.ai™ provides general-purpose ways to easily use generative-AI on your own computer using open-models, or when required, communicate with hosted AI-services.
New Entity AI™ acts as a shell API for any automated system operation too by working with modern control frameworks like systemd. The goal of the project was to provide a complete operating environment for local-first AI while also provided general-purpose VM-like computing constructs, making toolsets that interact with personal data safer to run. The preassembled environment allows operators of all skill-levels to use descriptive, extensible, and roboust pre-built functionality to accomplish a variety of goal-oriented and general-purpose computing tasks.
Everything here is built to be portable and will work on almost any modern machine that runs a shell. It's designed to run in a generic .sh-like environment, but it will also work in Bash or other modern shell environments too.
New Entity AI™ feature showcase:
- [X] A generic access control system (ACS) framework for any computer adhering to the portable operating system standard
- [X] Protective wrappers to rely on while performing general purpose development operations
- [X] All major development operations tasks are covered within enhancements, including verbose operations helpers, log generation, access control, security hardening, process isolation, and more
- [X] Automation-ready network routines that can fallback to any extension programming language (python, nodejs, rust, C, etc.)
- [X] A novel solution to keeping a systems integrity in place before any runtime is executed outside of user-space
- [X] Enforce user and group ownership routines that provided a hardened security structure for the entire system
- [X] Isolated environment runtime-schedulers that allows for any server to immediately become hardened with additional security inspection routines for running/linked-processes
- [X] Safer development operations achieved through simulated VM portal that don't have access to the rest of your machine
- [X] Various read-only options for running within a read-only operating system
- [X] A user framework for general purpose computing that allows for media storage and access, programming, and operating/utilizing open AI models of any type (CV, tabular, inference, etc.)
- [X] Everything presented is portable. The design of New Entity AI™ will work within any system that has a generic shell environment, dating back to the 1980's.
- [X] Works in wayland, xwindows, or any similar windowing system/compositor stack
