The original title is 12 words: "BIOMA: an open-source LLM efficiency and security kernel with honest failure documentation"
Original: I shipped an LLM efficiency + security kernel — and deleted my own best idea
Short summary
BIOMA is a local, provider-agnostic LLM efficiency and security kernel written in Rust with Python bindings. It provides context apoptosis (token reduction up to 97%), secret redaction, and prompt-flood detection. The author also documents a failed 'mitosis' multi-LLM orchestration approach that reduced correctness by 17% at 4-6x cost, and deleted it based on measurement.
- •BIOMA: Rust+Python kernel for LLM token optimization, secret redaction, and prompt-flood detection
- •Context apoptosis reduces input tokens up to 97%; red-team tests show 0 secrets leaked
- •Author transparently documents and discards a failed multi-LLM orchestration experiment
