Welcome to the foundational Early Access release of Spectra! This update represents a complete architectural rewrite, establishing the framework for a decentralized, 100% offline, UE5 intelligence ecosystem.

🧠 Core Inference Engine
  • Fully Localized Pipeline: Ripped out cloud dependencies. Inference runs entirely locally via ONNX and llama.cpp.
  • Modular GGUF Support: Swap in custom quantized GGUF Large Language Models to optimize VRAM allocation.

⚙️ System Framework
  • MCP Server Bridge: Custom server ensuring high-speed, secure communication between our HTML/JS UI (UE5 UWebBrowser) and the C++ backend.
  • Standalone Executable: Python environments are now fully bundled. No pip installs or manual Python configuration required to run Spectra.
