Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Orca-2-13B Runs Directly on Rust+WASM – No Python/C++ Hassles
I see that they recently changed the intro of WasmEdge on Github [1] to " WasmEdge is the easiest and fastest way to run LLMs on your own devices. "
Since it's a wasm runtime capable of many things I find bizarre that they now start describing it with a ultra-specific use case

Run LLMs on my own Mac fast and efficient Only 2 MBs
Mmm…
The wasm-nn that this relies on (https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-nn) is a proposal that relies of arbitrary plugin backends sending arbitrarily chunks to some vendor implementation. The api is literally like set input, compute, set output.
…and that is totally non portable.
The reason this works, is because it’s relying on the abstraction already implemented in llama.cpp that allows it to take a gguf model and map it to multiple hardware targets,which you can see has been lifted here: https://github.com/WasmEdge/WasmEdge/tree/master/plugins/was...
So..
> Developers can refer to this project to write their machine learning application in a high-level language using the bindings, compile it to WebAssembly, and run it with a WebAssembly runtime that supports the wasi-nn proposal, such as WasmEdge.
Is total rubbish; no, you can’t.
This isn’t portable.
It’s not sandboxed.
If you have a wasm binary you might be able to run it if the version of the runtime you’re using happens to implement the specific ggml backend you need, which it probably doesn’t… because there’s literally no requirement for it to do so.
There’s a lot of “so portable” talk in this article which really seems misplaced.

Cloud, Why So Difficult?
There has also been a few "cloud-native" runtimes based on WASM, like WasmEdge but there's a few others (can't remember their names!)...

Maestro: A Linux-compatible kernel in Rust
Isn't gVisor kind of this as well?
"gVisor is an application kernel for containers. It limits the host kernel surface accessible to the application while still giving the application access to all the features it expects. Unlike most kernels, gVisor does not assume or require a fixed set of physical resources; instead, it leverages existing host kernel functionality and runs as a normal process. In other words, gVisor implements Linux by way of Linux."

Faster Filesystem Access with Directfs
This sort of feels like seeing someone riding a bike and saying: why don’t they just get a car? The simple fact is that containers and VMs are quite different. Whether something uses VMX and friends or not is also a red herring, as gVisor also “rolls it own VMM” [1].

OS in Go? Why Not
There's two major production-ready Go-based operating system(-ish) projects:
- Google's gVisor[1] (a re-implementation of a significant subset of the Linux syscall ABI for isolation, also mentioned in the article)
- USBArmory's Tamago[2] (a single-threaded bare-metal Go runtime for SOCs)
Both of these are security-focused with a clear trade off: sacrifice some performance for memory safe and excellent readability (and auditability). I feel like that's the sweet spot for low-level Go - projects that need memory safety but would rather trade some performance for simplicity.

Tunwg: Expose your Go HTTP servers online with end to end TLS
It uses gVisor to create a TCP/IP stack in userspace, and starts a wireguard interface on it, which the HTTP server from http.Serve listens on. The library will print a URL after startup, where you can access your server. You can create multiple listeners in one binary.

How does go playground work?
The playground compiles the program with GOOS=linux, GOARCH=amd64 and runs the program with gVisor. Detailed documentation is available at the gVisor site.
