TriniOS

AI-First Operating System — Mach Microkernel-Based

TriniOS is a new operating system built on a Mach microkernel architecture, designed from the ground up with AI as a first-class citizen.

Core Design Principles

1. AI-First: LLM operations are native to the kernel/userland boundary
2. Local-First: On-device inference, privacy, and data sovereignty
3. Microkernel Architecture: Minimal TCB, maximum modularity
4. Open Source: Fully transparent development
5. Capital Efficient: Leverages existing OSS ecosystems
