Become a sponsor to EUNHO KIM

💖 Sponsor @uno-km & AMEVA On-Device AI

Hi, I am uno-km (@uno-km), an indie systems hacker building the AMEVA On-Device AI Ecosystem.

"Even without Big Tech's multi-million dollar H100 clusters, I wanted to prove that true on-device AI can be conquered right inside our pockets—using everyday phones and vintage silicon."

😭 A Bitter, Tearful Confession: Why Sponsor Me?

No corporate fluff. Here is the unvarnished reality of my daily lab:

1. The Tragic & Comical Arsenal in My Pocket:
   • My testbed: a Galaxy A35, an old Galaxy S21, and a Galaxy S25 bought on a 24-month loan just to benchmark Snapdragon 8 Elite.
   • A friend said: "My Galaxy S20 screen is shattered, I'm tossing it." I fell to my knees: "DON'T THROW IT AWAY! I can run Whisper STT on that!" I rescued it, and I run tests while poking fingers through cracked glass.
   • My mom shouted: "Where did my old Galaxy S7 in the drawer go?!" ...Mom, forgive me. Your 2016 phone is compiling Android Bionic libc kernels 24/7 in my room.
2. Surviving on Instant Ramen & Airport Wi-Fi:
   • I live on instant ramen and save every penny for cheap store coffee to stay awake coding through the dawn.
   • My room's Wi-Fi drops every 10 minutes. When pushing huge GGUF models or npm/pip packages, I pack my laptop and cracked phones, rush to Incheon Airport or sit outside a 24-hour store freezing in the cold, piggybacking on public Wi-Fi to hit git push origin main. People think I'm flying abroad; nope, I'm just shipping code.

Yet through all this misery, I never gave up.

🔥 What We Conquered: Pure Mobile Silicon Madness

Big Tech told the world: "Local AI on a phone is impossible. Pay our $50/month API fee."

We refused. We couldn't bear to see mobile GPUs sitting idle, so we broke open mobile Vulkan SPIR-V compute shaders on Android Termux, and rewrote 14 native libraries with Android Bionic libc and ARM64 NEON!

0% Root Required! $0 Cloud Bills! 100% Offline Edge Autonomy!

• ⚡ Termux-BitNet: World’s first mobile native port of MS 1.58-bit ternary LLM! Zero CMake compile hell—1-line packaging with NEON + Vulkan GPU in 10s.
• 🎙️ Termux-TTS: Sub-100ms 22.05kHz on-device speech synthesis. Lightweight DSP to Vulkan GPU studio neural nets with a 4-Tier self-healing fallback.
• 👁️ Termux-Vision: Eradicated 150MB+ OpenCV bloat. Pure Canny/Sobel + SmolVLM Vulkan GPU zero-copy visual intelligence on phone cameras.
• 🔗 Termux-AIChain: Zero dependencies—50KB ultra-lightweight autonomous agent orchestrator running on pure topological DAG graphs.
• 🦙 Termux-LlamaCpp: Ended cooking your phone for 20 minutes with Clang. Pre-compiled Bionic binaries running GGUF LLMs in 10 seconds.
• 🛡️ STT · Diffusion · Train · Playwright · Forge · Sentinel · Runtime · MCP-Hub · Infra-Index: Offline Whisper STT, non-root Samsung Gallery image generation, on-device LoRA fine-tuning, and browser WebGPU tensor engines.

💰 Where Your Money Actually Goes

No corporate BS. No fake plaques. Your money goes directly into survival and silicon:

1. Rescuing Used Test Phones (Top Priority): Buying secondhand Snapdragon, Exynos (Xclipse AMD GPU), Dimensity, and Tensor devices to guarantee zero crashes on every Android phone on earth.
2. Hacker Sustenance: Coffee to keep me awake, warm soup, and a reliable internet line so I don't freeze at the airport.
3. 24/7 Phone Rack Maintenance: Cooling fans and power hubs so phones dangling from power strips don't catch fire during 10,000-iteration stress tests.

💬 "Code Feedback & Brutal Critiques Are Always Welcomed"

We are the "Grassroots Stream"—resource-constrained hackers squeezing maximum performance out of humble hardware against multi-billion dollar cloud monopolies.

If you spot a flaw in my code, open an Issue or PR. I will take the critique, fix it, and prove our worth with lighter and faster code.
