L'électron Rare

Open-source agentic platform for embedded systems and LLM orchestration

L'Electron Rare — Org archived 2026-04-22

This org is now a redirect shell. On 2026-04-22, all active FineFab, life, and makelife repositories were transferred to the personal user account github.com/electron-rare for simpler ownership during the pre-launch phase of the L'Electron Rare business entity.

GitHub keeps 301 redirects from these old org URLs for 90 days. After that, update any remaining clones with git remote set-url origin git@github.com:electron-rare/<repo>.git.

Two repositories stay here for now: KIKI-models-tuning and KIKI-Mac_tunner — the ML training toolkits referenced below.

Historical context preserved below.


L'Electron Rare

"The boundary between physical and non-physical is very imprecise for us." — Donna Haraway, A Cyborg Manifesto

Bridging embedded hardware and AI — local-first, multi-machine, no cloud lock-in.


Latest Releases — April 2026

Two public releases this week, covering the full fine-tuning pipeline:

Date Project Summary
17/04 clemsail/micro-kiki-v3 Cognitive LLM stack for embedded engineering — 35 domain LoRAs on Qwen3.5-35B-A3B, router + negotiator + anti-bias + Aeon memory. Apache 2.0, GGUF, 262K context.
16/04 L-electron-Rare/KIKI-Mac_tunner MLX fine-tuning toolkit for Mac Studio — distills Claude Opus reasoning into Mistral Large 123B. Apache 2.0.

Training pipeline (KIKI-Mac_tunner) and its output model (micro-kiki-v3) are both open-source. Benchmarks, forks, and negative findings welcome on the discussion thread.


The Vision

We build monstrous systems — in Haraway's sense. Hybrid organisms where ESP32 firmware and language models share the same nervous system, where a PCB design agent and a fine-tuned LLM are parts of one body.

AI should run where the work happens: on the edge, across heterogeneous machines, orchestrated as a single organism. L'Electron Rare builds the stack that connects embedded firmware to LLM inference to real-time cockpits — without sending a single byte to someone else's cloud.

Every layer is designed to be owned, modified, and deployed by the people who use it.


Architecture

Two interconnected ecosystems — the agentic core and the manufacturing platform:

Research

Open frontier work on cognition, self-organization, and fine-tuning — public repos, paper drafts, reproducible experiments:

Project What it explores

FineFab Platform

FineFab (originally Factory 4 Life) — our AI-native manufacturing and electronics platform, decomposed into focused modules. The repo naming reflects the project's evolution:

  • life-* — core platform services (the "Life" in Factory 4 Life)
  • makelife-* — hardware, firmware, and CAD layers (the "Make" in MakeLife)
  • finefab-* — shared infrastructure and integration (the unified FineFab identity)
  • KIKI-* — ML / fine-tuning pipeline (internal codename)
Module Layer Role
life-core Platform AI backend — LLM router, RAG, caching, orchestration
life-web Platform Operator cockpit — Vite + React 19, real-time monitoring
life-reborn Platform API gateway — Hono, auth, rate limiting, OpenAPI
life-spec Platform Spec-first pipeline — specifications, BMAD gates, evidence
makelife-hard Hardware KiCad projects, PCB exports, MCP servers
makelife-firmware Hardware ESP32/STM32 firmware, PlatformIO, Unity tests
makelife-cad Hardware CAD/EDA platform — FastAPI + Next.js 15, AI-assisted design
KIKI-models-tuning ML Fine-tuning pipeline — model training, evaluation, registry
KIKI-Mac_tunner ML MLX fine-tuning toolkit for Apple Silicon (M3 Ultra / M4 Pro)
finefab-shared Infra Shared contracts — JSON Schema, Pydantic, TypeScript types
finefab-life Infra Integration runtime — Docker Compose, CI/CD, ops cockpit

factory-4-life — the consolidated monorepo

All the FineFab subprojects listed above are assembled inside a single monorepo, factory-4-life, with 21 git submodules pinned to known-good SHAs. One clone, one docker compose, one CI-green check across the stack:

Layer Submodules
Backend life-core, life-reborn, life-web, finefab-shared
Hardware makelife-cad, makelife-firmware, makelife-hard
RAG + Web rag-web, nc-rag-indexer, e2e-tests
Runtime finefab-life (self-contained docker-compose.prod.yml)
Meta life-spec, life-project, agent-factory-cockpit

Phase 7 in progress — Industrialisation et Intégration Complète: hardened traefik + Keycloak OIDC across every service, shared forward-auth cookie on .saillant.cc, nightly RAG indexer, Grafana + Jaeger + Langfuse dashboards wired end-to-end. See the monorepo CLAUDE.md for the full map of 24 nested CLAUDE.md files and per-domain runbooks.


Factory 4 Life monorepo | 21 submodules | Keycloak SSO | Traefik + Cloudflare | MLX + CUDA fine-tuning | Local-first, no cloud lock-in
