A solo developer released LexiSuite AIO, a bootable all-Rust OS/engine/kernel suite with built-in local LLM tuning and training management. It boots kernel 7.4 rc1 by default (the author notes the kernel still needs work).
Key claims:
- Runs Qwen3.8 27B 5-25% faster than llama.cpp with lossless output
- Uses 90% of GPU bandwidth on a 7900XTX vs 80% for llama.cpp
- Built for 7900XTX Vulkan but should work on other AMD cards; code includes NVIDIA, Intel and Chinese hardware paths, supporting 20 languages
Usage: flash to USB with balenaEtcher and boot. 100% solo-authored; the author asks users to test and report results.
