linux

torvalds/linux · ★ 252.2K

This is the Linux kernel itself - the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware and system resources and provides the fundamental services all other software runs on.

+87

OpenViking

volcengine/OpenViking · ★ 40.1K

An open-source context database for AI agents: memories, resources, and skills live in one virtual filesystem under the viking:// protocol, so the agent browses its own context with ls, tree, and find instead of querying a black-box vector store.

+61

mem0

mem0ai/mem0 · ★ 67.3K

Mem0 is a memory layer for AI agents and apps: it stores user preferences and conversation history so your AI assistant remembers people across sessions instead of starting from zero every time.

+52

rust

rust-lang/rust · ★ 120.4K

This is the main source repository for the Rust programming language — it contains the compiler (rustc), the standard library, and documentation.
