Facingsouth··on Generate per-session LoRA adapters in <1s for agentic inference efficiency
Quick Start Generate LoRA Adapters From metadata (JSON string or file):

tessera generate \ --from-metadata '{"task": "classification", "domain": "medical"}' \ --base-model mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 \ --rank 16 \ --save ./adapter.safetensors

From text description:

tessera generate \ --from-text "Medical diagnosis assistant" \ --base-model mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 \ --rank 16 \ --save ./adapter.safetensors

From document:

tessera generate \ --from-doc ./document.txt \ --base-model mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 \ --rank 16 \ --save ./adapter.safetensors

Base Model Management

Download a base model from HuggingFace Hub:

tessera model pull mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 tessera model pull meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct tessera model pull deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B

Start vLLM with a base model:

tessera model serve-model mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 --port 8000 tessera model serve-model mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 --gpu-memory-utilization 0.9 tessera model serve-model mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 --quantization awq

List cached base models:

tessera model list-models

Remove a cached model:

tessera model remove mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2

Start Tessera Server

Start the hypernetwork server (with auto vLLM):

tessera serve --port 8080 --base-model mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2

Start the hypernetwork server (standalone):

tessera serve --port 8080 --host 0.0.0.0 Check Server Health tessera health --url http://localhost:8080

Facingsouth··on [dead]
Float Protocols is a primitive that bridges existing dead zone communication systems (Iridium, Inmarsat, VSAT, HF/VHF, RockBLOCK) to future satellite networks. Currently supports traditional satellite protocols with future-proofing for AST SpaceMobile's enterprise IoT APIs when released. The system integrates with telemetry for accurate ping monitoring.
Facingsouth··on Mandala: A low latency logistics event bridge for Samsara fleets
1. The "Invisible Blocking" Problem

* The Problem: In Python's asyncio, the entire loop runs on a single thread. If one function performs a heavy calculation (like a complex spatial hash or a large HMAC verification), it "blocks" the loop. Every other truck event in the system has to wait. * Our Solution (Rust Acceleration): We offload those "CPU-heavy" tasks to Rust. By using maturin and pyo3, we execute the heavy lifting in Rust code that releases the Global Interpreter Lock (GIL). The Python loop stays snappy, only handling the "IO orchestration" while Rust does the "math."

2. The "Backpressure" & Memory Leak Problem

* The Problem: If 50,000 trucks send webhooks at once, a naive async bridge will try to open 50,000 coroutines. This leads to unbounded memory growth and eventually a crash. * Our Solution (Redis Streams & Adaptive Backpressure): * Redis Streams: Acts as our "Buffer Tank." The API accepts the webhook and immediately pushes it to Redis. It doesn't care if the worker is ready yet. * Adaptive Backpressure: Your core/adaptive_backpressure.py monitors Redis latency. If the system is getting overwhelmed, it throttles the ingest layer. It's better to tell a vendor "Try again in 5 seconds" than to crash and lose everyone's data.

3. The "Race Condition" & Determinism Problem

* The Problem: Async doesn't mean "Parallel," but it does mean "Out of Order." If Truck Update #2 arrives before Truck Update #1 (common in dead zones), a standard system might overwrite the new location with the old one. * Our Solution (Stator's Latch & Vectorization): * Stator's Latch: We use a Redis-backed Event-Time Latch. If an event arrives with a timestamp older than the one we've already "committed" to the state, we flag it as "historical" and don't trigger real-time alerts. * Vectors: By describing events as vectors (as you suggested), we aren't just comparing points. We are looking at the trajectory. If a point is geographically or temporally impossible, the Rust-powered spatial checks catch it before it corrupts the state.

4. The "Zombie Task" Problem

* The Problem: In async, tasks can fail silently or run forever in the background without anyone knowing (unawaited coroutines). * Our Solution (OTel Tracing): Because every Mandala event is a trace, we can see exactly where an event "died." If a webhook comes in but never hits the worker, the trace in Jaeger will show a broken span. We aren't guessing; we're observing the Lifecycle of the Event.
