The Take

The project wires a local LLM directly into Bevy to generate geometry from plain English and pairs that with kernel-enforced sandboxing and HMAC-signed instruction files — a practical nod to safety you rarely see in hobby demos. It isn't a finished product (video-first demo, rough edges), but the single-binary Rust approach and the security model make this more than a toy: impressive engineering for anyone wanting local, auditable content generation.

Post Description

I couldn't get access to Project Genie 3, so I built a (very minified) version on top of LocalGPT, my local AI assistant in Rust. cargo install localgpt-gen — you describe a scene in natural language, the LLM generates it in Bevy. Early and rough, but it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n18qnSDmBK0 LocalGPT itself is a 38MB single-binary AI assistant with kernel-enforced shell sandboxing (Seatbelt/Landlock/seccomp) and HMAC-signed instruction files. localgpt-gen ships as a separate binary (>100MB) to keep the core small.
