Bootable Model As System
Boot directly into an AI operating shell.
BMASS is an open-source experiment that treats a local language model as the primary interface to a computer rather than another application running inside one.
Instead of booting a desktop and then opening an AI program, BMASS starts directly into a lightweight Linux environment where the AI becomes the operating interface.
The project explores a simple question:
What if the model was the system?

BMASS has undergone its largest architectural change since the project began.
The previous prototype relied on Python orchestration around the language model. That layer has now largely been removed. BMASS is moving towards becoming a native Unix resident compiled directly from C++ using the llama.cpp libraries.
Rather than acting as a conventional chatbot, BMASS now follows a perception–action loop:

Final Answer
The BMASS runtime has been recompiled with a shell execution layer. When the model determines that operating system information is required, it emits a ... action. BMASS executes the command, captures the real output from Linux, feeds that observation back into the model, and allows the model to continue reasoning using actual system state rather than assumptions.
This removes a substantial amount of orchestration code while moving the intelligence closer to the operating system itself. The architecture is intentionally simple and is designed to evolve incrementally.

The implementation is evolving rapidly and has only been tested on the reference BMASS environment.
Please check file paths before building or running, as your installation layout may differ.
Bug reports, pull requests and architectural suggestions are very welcome.
