Post-Quantum Encryption by Design

Designed for the day quantum computers can break today's public-key encryption.

HYVE's design uses ML-KEM-768 post-quantum key exchange; it is not yet in the shipped build. The designed substrate seals data in fixed 512-byte encrypted cells (ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD, Ed25519 signatures, blind routing tokens); today the cell format is used only by HYVE's device-to-device messaging, which is in development.

Sovereign Data Protocol (.hyvedata)

Your data, your keys, your signature.

Per-chunk Brotli + AES-256-GCM encryption with an Ed25519-signed root hash you can verify offline, plus SQLite-indexed metadata; one vault unlock decrypts every archive. (NOT yet in the shipped build: Reed-Solomon GF(256) parity shards + Particle-Swarm-Optimized layout for partial-corruption survival — the designed next layer.)

REAL SCREENSHOTS · LIVE BUILD

This is HYVE Ether OS, today.

Every image below is a direct capture from a running HYVE Ether OS install — the twin-star Ether desktop, the app grid, Omega at work, a preview of Alfred (coming soon), image generation in HYVE Spark, and a live 3D map of the entire OS. Not a mockup.

HYVE Ether OS desktop: a luminous azure-and-violet twin-star emblem above the HYVE ETHER OS wordmark, set over a hex-horizon wallpaper receding into a starfield. Four pop-out rails — HEXHIVE, STUDIOS, VANTAGE, HYPE HYVE — dock along the top edge; a system taskbar runs across the bottom.

DESKTOP · HYVE ETHER OS

The Ether OS desktop.

The twin-star emblem over a hex-horizon wallpaper — azure and violet on black. Four pop-out rails dock at the top: HEXHIVE (quick-launch), STUDIOS (the creative suite), VANTAGE (observability & security), and HYPE HYVE (social). The bottom taskbar carries the launcher, pinned apps, and the system tray — battery, brightness, network, time. Quiet by default: no ads, no upsell modals, no telemetry.

The HYVE Ether OS app grid open over the desktop wallpaper, showing rows of app tiles — OMEGA, ORACLE, MESSENGER, FILES, INTERNET, EDITOR, APPS, CODELAB, RAVEN, DISTILLERY, MARGE, ALFRED, TRAIN, LLM CREATOR, ARENA, VERITAS, MEMORY, COMMAND CENTER, OBSERVATORY, ORGANS — each with a short description.

EVERYTHING INSIDE · APP GRID

Every organ, one keystroke away.

OMEGA — your sovereign AI assistant. ORACLE — hand harder questions to a larger local model when your hardware has room for one. MESSENGER — device-to-device messaging, in development. CODELAB — agent-assisted coding. DISTILLERY — in testing for the next build. MARGE — build and run a business from a prompt. LLM CREATOR — coming soon. Plus RAVEN, FILES, INTERNET, EDITOR, TRAIN, ARENA, VERITAS, MEMORY, COMMAND CENTER, OBSERVATORY, ORGANS — and more.

The Omega assistant surface in HYVE Ether OS: a centered 'ASK OMEGA ANYTHING' heading with four suggestion chips, model and approval selectors along the top (Lens, Auto local, Auto-approve, Omega default), and a 'Speak to Omega' input bar with Send, Stop and Swarm buttons at the bottom.

SOVEREIGN AI · OMEGA

Ask Omega anything.

Your sovereign assistant answers questions, writes and runs code, searches the web, and drives the rest of the OS — with the AI running on this device. Choose a lens, a model, and an approval mode. In the 3.0 build now in testing, shell commands are off until you turn them on, and the agent's actions pass a default-deny policy check. Run it solo or fan the work out to a SWARM. Local models, no API bill, no telemetry; web search, when you use it, goes over the internet.

The Alfred assistant surface in HYVE Ether OS: a top-hat emblem with 'Good day. How may I help?', suggestion chips for a morning briefing, treasury check and security status, and a left sidebar with Chat, Connectors, Reminders, What I know, Phone and Settings — plus status indicators.

COMING SOON · ALFRED

Alfred. Coming soon.

Alfred, the always-on assistant, is coming soon. Features shown may change before release.

HYVE Spark image-generation studio in HYVE Ether OS: a large photoreal render of a red convertible sports car on a coastal highway at sunset, a control panel on the right with model, style, aspect, prompt, ControlNet and advertisement-text fields, and a filmstrip gallery of previously generated images along the bottom. A banner reads 'Ready — this studio is running on this device.'

LOCAL IMAGE GEN · HYVE SPARK

Studio-grade image generation — on your own GPU.

“Ready — this studio is running on this device.” Type an idea, let Omega enhance it into a premium prompt, pick a style and aspect, and generate — photoreal or stylized. ControlNet composition, style references, real composited ad typography, and a gallery of everything you’ve made. Nothing uploaded, nothing metered.

HYVE Atlas in HYVE Ether OS: a glowing 3D force-graph of the operating system's codebase — thousands of purple, pink and gold nodes joined by faint edges, floating against black. The header reads 'codebase map · 3353 nodes · 3969 edges · read-only', with edge-type and organ/language filters and Find, Live and Reload controls.

THE OS, MAPPED · HYVE ATLAS

A living map of the whole system.

HYVE Atlas renders the entire codebase as a 3D force-graph — 3,353 nodes and 3,969 edges of files, services, ports and processes, and exactly how they connect. Filter by organ, language, or edge type, search any path, and watch it update live. An OS that can show you itself.

LAYER 01 · COGNITION

Decide deterministically. Orchestrate every model.

Omega is the decision orchestrator at the heart of every HYVE agent. Same input, same output, every time, under 200 nanoseconds per rule. HYVE LLM Creator is coming soon.

Sovereign OS Architecture

Omega is the decision orchestrator at the heart of every HYVE agent. It runs a deterministic decide() function — same input, same output, every time, under 200 nanoseconds per rule — over a topologically-sorted multi-organ topology. Every verdict is replayable in Observatory.

HYVE LLM Creator

Coming soon.

Quantum Cognition Routing

A design in a pending patent claim, not a shipped capability: routing work across quantum, classical, and local compute.

Observatory — Live Interpretability Surface

Three-dimensional graph of organ nodes on a Fibonacci-sphere distribution, lightning polylines for cell deliveries, color-coded by topic class across at least 8 categories. Every decision, memory write, and bus event is replayable.

LAYER 02 · EXECUTION SUBSTRATE

Run Windows apps, containers, and more.

HYVE Leaper runs Windows apps (via Wine), containers, Flatpak apps, and retro game ROMs alongside native Linux apps.

SUPPORTED FORMATS

  • ▸ Linux apps
  • ▸ Windows apps (via Wine)
  • ▸ Containers
  • ▸ Flatpak apps
  • ▸ Retro game ROMs

Leaper Differential Sandbox

Designed: a four-tier, provenance-keyed execution sandbox (KnownSigned / AiGenerated / UserUploaded / Unknown) that picks each program's isolation from where it came from. Not yet in the shipped build. In the 3.0 build now in testing, code the agent writes for apps runs in a Linux Landlock + seccomp sandbox.

LAYER 03 · STUDIOS

Agent-native creative stack.

Seven first-party studios cover image, audio, video, motion capture, ambient sensing, API orchestration, and prompt management. Each is scriptable; each is composable; each is built to run on your machine.

HYVE Spark

Image generation

HYVE Pulse

Audio generation

HYVE Cinema

Video generation (Anima engine)

HYVE Kinesis

Markerless motion capture

HYVE Sense

Ambient context (Aura engine)

Studios Connect

1,450 APIs · recipe scheduler

HYVE Prompts

Master prompt library

Cinema is powered by the Anima engine. Sense is powered by the Aura engine; it is in development and needs add-on ESP32-S3 sensor boards. Both are built to run on your hardware.

LAYER 04 · SECURITY

Defense in depth.

HYVE's design uses ML-KEM-768 post-quantum key exchange; it is not yet in the shipped build. The full posture lives at /security.

Post-Quantum Encryption by Design

HYVE's design uses ML-KEM-768 post-quantum key exchange, ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD, and Ed25519 signatures; it is not yet in the shipped build. Today files in ~/.hyve/ are not encrypted at rest, and device-to-device messaging is still in development.

Augur Detector Categories

Eleven static analysis detectors across five languages: secrets, weak_crypto, sql_injection, command_injection, deserialization, insecure_random, unsafe_audit, panic_audit, xss, regex_dos, ssrf.

Augur Self-Policing CI Gate

A design in a pending patent claim: Augur audits its own source on every commit, so the security tool checks itself before anything else.

Tarpit + Tor + Sentinel Defensive Triad

A tarpit organ that drips fake banners to attackers for hours, a Tor controller organ with pluggable transports (obfs4, meek_lite, snowflake), and a sentinel kill organ for cross-platform process termination — all audit-logged.

LAYER 05 · IDENTITY & DATA

Sovereign keys. Recoverable archives.

Your identity lives on your hardware. Your archives live on your hardware.

HYVE Identity

Sovereign on-device identity: X25519 master keypair and HKDF-derived scoped tokens. No cloud account required.

Sovereign Data Protocol (.hyvedata)

Per-chunk Brotli + AES-256-GCM encryption with an Ed25519-signed root hash you can verify offline, plus SQLite-indexed metadata; one vault unlock decrypts every archive. (NOT yet in the shipped build: Reed-Solomon GF(256) parity shards + Particle-Swarm-Optimized layout for partial-corruption survival — the designed next layer.)

HYVE Cell-Sharded Transport (HYVE-CST)

Part of HYVE's device-to-device messaging, which is in development: messages exceeding 387 bytes are split via Shamir K-of-N secret sharing applied per byte position over GF(256). Any K cells reconstruct the original; any K-1 cells reveal nothing.

Timing-Leak-Free Credential Verification

Unlock verification with length-capped inputs, parallel Argon2id derivations without short-circuit, bitwise-AND combination, and uniform error message on failure — defends against side-channel timing attacks.

HYVE Ratchet (Forward Secrecy at Message Granularity)

Part of HYVE's device-to-device messaging, which is in development: per-conversation epochs with chain-key rotation via HKDF-SHA256 and zeroized prior keys, designed so that compromising the current state does not expose past traffic.

HYVE LocalSend

Peer-to-peer LAN file transfer organ — mDNS discovery, TLS-fingerprint pinning, no relay server, up to 8 GiB per file. Transfers go directly between devices on your local network.

LAYER 06 · INTEGRATIONS

HYVE from inside your IDE.

HYVE MCP Bridge exposes Omega, Narrator, Augur, Trust, and Leaper as native MCP tools — call them directly from Claude Code, Cursor, Zed, or Continue.dev. Full integration guide at /skills.

HYVE MCP Bridge

A standalone binary that exposes Omega, Narrator, Augur, Trust, and Leaper as native MCP tools — call HYVE organs directly from Claude Code, Cursor, Zed, and Continue.dev.

HYVE Harness Skills

Per-IDE skill manifests (.claude/skills, .cursor/rules, ~/.continue/config.json) so operators invoke HYVE organs from inside their AI coding harness without leaving the editor.

HYVE Plugin Spec

Six plugin types with manifest-based install on ports 7900–7999 — Studios, organs, themes, recipes, surfaces, agents — all extendable.

LAYER 07 · HARDWARE

Real specs, stated plainly.

HYVE Ether OS targets standard x86_64 desktops and laptops. The minimum specs, the team's own development and test machines, and the explicit unsupported list are at /hardware.
