Lorein – A Persistent, Local-First AI Architecture

SMRTR summary

LOREIN is a local-first AI system built over four years by a single independent researcher who suffered a stroke-related communication impairment. Unlike typical AI tools that reset between conversations, LOREIN maintains persistent memory and identity using cryptographic journaling and isolated hardware environments. The project also carries a personal mission: funding botanical research into terpene and cannabinoid profiles to help treat depression and anxiety, honoring the developer's late sister.
