AMD Strix Halo · Ryzen AI Max+ 395
⚡ One binary to rule them all

Run AI models on
your own hardware.
Fast.

One C++ binary. Zero Python. MIT licensed.

Including on a chip nothing else can touch: AMD's own runtime for the Strix Halo NPU is closed-source, so we reverse-engineered it from scratch. Also runs on AMD / NVIDIA / Apple GPUs, any Vulkan GPU, and plain CPU. It's an inference engine, not a chat app — bring your own frontend. 47 models run out of the box, 135M to 74B parameters.

Origin Story

22 proprietary libraries → one 1.5 MB binary

We reverse-engineered the whole stack in 4 days and replaced it with open C++ — turning 22 proprietary libraries into one 1.5 MB open-source binary.

AMD shipped the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 with a 50 TOPS NPU locked behind a proprietary driver stack. No documentation. No open SDK. No way to run your own models.

1,800+ hours of reverse engineering, every crash documented in real time. The result: a fully open inference engine that runs on the bare metal.

Before
22 proprietary libraries
Closed-source driver stack, no docs
After
1.5 MB open-source binary
Pure C++, no Python in the hot path

.1bp Format

Our models, our format

Every model is packed into a single .1bp file — weights, tokenizer, and config. No GGUF conversion. No Python. Just load and run.
