SNEPPX-Alg: Project Structure, Current Status, and How to Contribute
A transparent look at the 522-commit C++ AI runtime Project Overview SNEPPX-Alg is an open-source (MIT) AI runtime written in C++ with Python bindings. Its primary differentiator is a 10-layer security model (S0 to S9) that includes memory encryption (S1), control-flow obfuscation (S2), and runtime monitoring (S4).

Project Overview: SNEPPX-Alg is an open-source C++ AI runtime with Python bindings, written in C++ and featuring a 10-layer security model. It includes memory encryption, control-flow obfuscation, and runtime monitoring. The project is organized into several directories, including kernel, algorithms, drivers, security, and net for hardware abstraction, model implementations, hardware abstraction, security layers, and distributed training coordinator respectively.
Current Stability: The project has stable CPU backend and core tensor operations, along with Dilithium signing/verification and ONNX import (basic ops). Experimental features include CUDA/ROCm backends, ZeRO-1 distribution, Mamba-2 and Diffusion model stubs.
How to Contribute: The project is currently seeking help with Python bindings, specifically for the from_pretrained() API to support safetensors files. Additionally, optimization of the kernel/ops/matmul.cpp to implement blocked matrix multiplication (tiled) could improve CPU inference speed by approximately 40%. Documentation is also needed, with clear API documentation for the public functions in bindings/python/src/.
The maintainers review pull requests within 48 hours and tag issues with 'good-first-issue' and 'help-wanted' for easier onboarding. The repository is hosted at ammar49-cyber / sneppx-alg.
