"Redefining how AI APIs communicate with the web — built from scratch in C and Assembly."
NeuroHTTP (codename: AIMux) is a next-generation web server purpose-built for AI workloads.
Unlike traditional servers such as Nginx, Apache, or Node.js, which were not optimized for AI’s unique I/O and data flow, NeuroHTTP is designed from the ground up to handle:
- 🧠 AI streaming responses (like ChatGPT’s long token-by-token replies)
- 📦 Massive JSON payloads and recurrent API calls
- ⚡ Concurrent AI model routing across multiple endpoints
- 🔌 Real-time communication using HTTP/3, WebSockets, and gRPC
Goal: Create the world’s first AI-native web server capable of serving real-time, high-throughput AI inference APIs efficiently.
- 🔥 No direct competitors exist for AI-optimized web servers today.
- 🧩 Built in C and Assembly, outperforming Node.js, Python, and Go under load.
- 🌍 The AI API economy is exploding (OpenAI, HuggingFace, LangChain, etc.).
- 🧑💻 Open-source friendly, enabling a developer community to grow around it.
- ⚙️ Designed for scale, both in terms of concurrency and extensibility.
Feature | Description |
---|---|
⚡ Smart Thread Pool | Dynamically distributes requests based on payload size and active models. |
🧠 AI Stream Mode | Incremental response streaming over HTTP or WebSocket. |
🧩 Assembly-Optimized JSON Parser | Blazing-fast parsing for large and nested AI payloads. |
🔐 Token Quota + API Keys | Built-in security layer for developers and production APIs. |
🛰️ gRPC & HTTP/3 Ready | Fully compatible with next-generation web protocols. |
🧰 Plug-in System (C Modules) | Extend the server without recompilation. |
📊 Telemetry & Metrics | Real-time stats: latency, throughput, memory footprint. |

The first version focuses on simplicity and raw performance.
- Handles
HTTP POST
requests at/v1/chat
- Accepts JSON body containing
{ "prompt": "..." }
- Responds with
{ "response": "Hello, AI world!" }
- Supports chunked streaming responses
- Easily testable via
curl
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/v1/chat -d '{"prompt":"Hello"}'
Expected output:
{"response": "Hello, AI world!"}
Phase Description Phase 1 Core HTTP server with streaming responses Phase 2 WebSocket support for AI streaming Phase 3 Optimized C/ASM JSON Parser Phase 4 Modular Plug-in System for custom extensions Phase 5 Open-source release with detailed benchmarks vs Nginx
- Server 1K concurrent requests Avg Latency Memory (MB)
- NeuroHTTP (C/ASM) ✅ Target: 2ms 🚀 < 10
- Nginx ~8ms ⚡ 12
- Node.js (Express) ~15ms 🐢 60
- Flask (Python) ~30ms 🐢 120
- The web was built for documents.
- Then came applications.
- Now it’s time for AI.
NeuroHTTP aims to redefine how AI models are served at scale, providing a native AI transport layer that’s fast, flexible, and open.
-
Running AI chat models with streaming responses (like GPT, Claude, Mistral)
-
Hosting LangChain or LLM orchestration pipelines
-
Serving gRPC-based AI inference APIs
-
Building multi-model routers for AI backends
Releasing NeuroHTTP on GitHub under the MIT License will attract:
Developer communities on Reddit, Hacker News, and GitHub
Early adoption by AI startups needing real-time serving
Collaboration similar to what happened with Caddy, Envoy, and Nginx
git clone https://github.com/yourname/neurohttp.git
cd neurohttp
