Topic match — why us

USAF austere-environment voice AI requires a stack that runs locally on edge GPU under DDIL conditions, multi-agent task delegation, mission-secure crypto, and operator-trustable reasoning. Nightbox ships exactly this:

SilverDuck — local-first multi-agent stack with persistent memory + vision. Apache-2.0. Already shipped.

UniGPU — vendor-neutral GPU compute (Rust). 47.3 TFLOP/s WMMA sustained on consumer AMD RX 7700. Sidesteps NVIDIA lock-in. Apache-2.0.

SDPC — hybrid post-quantum crypto: X25519 + ML-KEM-1024 + AES-256-GCM. FIPS 203 + FIPS 197 primitives. Apache-2.0.

Quack — 9-language operator interface, 364 keywords. Coalition/allied multi-lingual ready. Apache-2.0.
