## Silicate Zero

The first operating system where AI is the kernel. Not an application running on Linux — bare metal, no syscall overhead. The LLM executes at Ring-0.

- **License:** AGPLv3, fully open source.
- **Architecture:** Ring-0 LLM execution. No Linux. No traditional userspace/kernel boundary for AI workloads.

### Three native desktop spaces

- **Workspace** — classic desktop environment, augmented with agents and Silicate Chat. Familiar UX for users transitioning from macOS, Windows, or Linux.
- **Sandboxes** — agent VMs presented as mini-OS tiles. Run multiple isolated agents side-by-side, each with their own environment.
- **Autonomous** — agent drives the machine, with a live action log showing every step. Watch the agent work in real time.

## Silicate LLM

Two tiers.

- **Basic** — Free. Local. Runs on CPU + GPU. Ships with Silicate Zero by default.
- **Premium** — Paid. Web / API access. Coding frontier model for serious engineering work.

---

## Silicate Zero Server

Ring-0 architecture, productized for customers. Deploy any LLM on your own hardware.

- **CPU optimized** — Ring-0 inference on modern server CPUs. No GPU required. Cost-effective deployments for many production workloads.
- **GPU optimized** — kernel-level scheduling, full memory bandwidth utilization. No syscall overhead between the model and the silicon.

**Free for startups until Series A.**
