Hiroshi is built from the ground up as a native, single-tenant personal agent runtime. Unlike heavy Electron-based frameworks or Python monoliths, Hiroshi is written entirely in pure, type-safe Rust.

​
⚡ Architectural Performance Metrics

  • Sub-10ms Startup Latency: Hiroshi boots its complete ReAct loop, checks advisory locks, and restores SQLite connections in under 10ms.
  • Minimal RAM Footprint: Idle memory allocations sit comfortably at < 40MB RAM (and under < 5MB RAM when compiled with the kernel-only feature flag).
  • Static Compilation: The runtime packages the SQLite engine, RRF search compilers, Axum servers, and dashboard visual interfaces into a single zero-dependency release binary.
