⚡ NeuroHTTP — High-Performance AI-Native Web Server

Build Status Language License Platform AI Ready Performance

"Redefining how AI APIs communicate with the web — built from scratch in C and Assembly."


🚀 Overview

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.


🎯 Why This Project Matters

  • 🔥 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.

⚙️ Key Technical Features

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.

🧰 Technologies Used

  • Language: C99 / C11
  • Low-level optimizations: x86 / x86_64 Assembly
  • Networking: epoll (Linux) or libuv
  • TLS: mbedtls or wolfSSL
  • gRPC support: protobuf-c
  • Build tools: make, cmake, clang

🧠 Minimum Viable Product (MVP)

The first version focuses on simplicity and raw performance.

✅ Features

  • 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

🧪 Example

curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/v1/chat -d '{"prompt":"Hello"}'

Expected output:

json

{"response": "Hello, AI world!"}

🚧 Roadmap

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

📊 Benchmark Goals (Planned)

  • 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

💡 Vision

  • 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.

🧩 Example Use Cases

  • 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

🌍 Open Source Impact

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

🔧 Installation (Soon)

git clone https://github.com/yourname/neurohttp.git
cd neurohttp
make
