Section 02
The birth of SPARK stems from reflections on the interaction methods of existing AI assistants. Current AI assistants on the market either rely on text input or, while supporting voice, lack visual feedback, making it difficult for users to intuitively perceive the AI's "thinking state". SPARK's design goal is clear: to create a comprehensive voice AI assistant that can listen, think, speak, and visualize.
The core design philosophy of the project is embodied in its unique visualized sphere (Orb) interface. This sphere changes in real time according to the AI's different states: it pulses blue when listening to the user's voice, rotates purple when thinking, and changes shape when responding. This design allows users to intuitively perceive the AI's working state, greatly enhancing the immersion of interaction.
Section 03
SPARK's tech stack selection and architecture design reflect the best practices of modern AI applications. The entire system adopts a modular design, mainly divided into the following core components:
Section 04
Continuous speech recognition is implemented based on the Google Speech Recognition API. This module runs in an independent thread, continuously monitoring microphone input, and triggers subsequent processing flows once voice input is detected. This design ensures that the assistant can respond to user wake-ups and commands at any time.
Section 05
This is the "brain center" of SPARK. Using Cohere AI's classification capabilities, the system can intelligently determine the intent type of the user's query and route it to the corresponding processing module. This design avoids the limitations of a single model handling all tasks, allowing each module to focus on its area of expertise.
Section 06
Based on the classification results, the query is routed to one of three main processing modules:
Section 07
Uses ElevenLabs' text-to-speech technology to convert the AI's responses into natural and fluent voice output. Compared to traditional TTS solutions, ElevenLabs can generate more emotional and realistic voices.
Section 08
A real-time web interface built based on Flask-SocketIO, which maintains bidirectional communication with the backend via WebSocket to achieve real-time updates of the sphere's state.

Splinter is a minimalist, high-performance key-value (KV) and vector storage system enabling zero-latency inter-process communication via shared memory and atomic operations. With only 766 lines of core code, it supports millions of operations per second and 768-dimensional vector storage, offering a new architectural approach for local LLM inference and data-intensive applications.
Folkering OS is the world's first AI-native bare-metal operating system, entirely written in Rust no_std without relying on Linux, POSIX, or libc. It can generate commands from scratch, compile them into WASM, and run them in 10 seconds, achieving true self-evolution.
This project explores how to use Large Language Models (LLMs) to detect logical vulnerabilities in Ethereum smart contracts, especially business logic flaws that are difficult for traditional static analysis tools to capture, such as economic manipulation and execution order errors.
