DylanOS

A decentralized, EarthDate-aware operating system with AI capabilities and blockchain integration.

Overview

DylanOS is an innovative operating system that combines:

• SPKML Engine: A secure, sandboxed execution environment for structured programs
• AI Integration: Local AI training and inference with privacy
• Blockchain: Decentralized content distribution and verification
• EarthDate System: Temporal foundation using YYYY-DDD date format
• Modern Desktop: Responsive UI built with Dioxus

Key Features

• 🔒 Security-First Design: Multi-layered security with code signing, sandboxing, and capability-based permissions
• 🤖 AI-Powered: Local AI training and inference for audio processing, text generation, and more
• 🌍 EarthDate-Aware: Temporal security and versioning based on day-of-year calendar
• ⚡ SPKML Runtime: Execute structured programs in isolated WebAssembly sandboxes
• 🔗 Blockchain Integration: Distributed ledger for content verification and smart contracts
• 🎵 Digital Audio Workstation: Built-in DAW with AI-powered suggestions
• 🔄 Auto-Recompilation: Intelligent build system with safety rails and rollback protection

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Usage

Desktop Environment

The DylanOS desktop provides:

• Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) with AI suggestions
• AI training studio for local model training
• File manager with SPKML support
• System configuration and monitoring

# Run the desktop application
cargo run -p desktop

SPKML Engine

Execute SPKML documents in a secure sandbox:

# Execute a SPKML action
cargo run -p spkml-engine -- execute action.spkml

AI Engine

Train and run AI models locally:

# Start AI training
cargo run -p ai-engine -- train --model llama --dataset ./data

# Run inference
cargo run -p ai-engine -- infer --prompt "Hello, world!"

Architecture

DylanOS is built with a modular architecture:
