Hey folks! I spent some time checking out some AI/ML tools and networking stuff that would be great to have in the AUR. I've searched the official repos and the AUR, but these seem to be missing.
I'd try making the PKGBUILDs myself, but I'm still learning the ropes with Arch packaging standards and don't want to push anything broken. If anyone is interested in picking these up, I'd be happy to test the builds!
1. text-embeddings-inference (Hugging Face)
URL: [url][https://github.com/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference](https://github.com/huggingface/text-embeddings-inference)[/url]
Description: A blazing fast Rust-based solution for text embeddings models. Essential for local RAG systems.
Notes: It's becoming a standard for local AI work. Supports native Rust compilation.
2. mlperf-client (MLCommons)
URL: [url][https://github.com/mlcommons/mlperf-client](https://github.com/mlcommons/mlperf-client)[/url]
Description: The industry-standard benchmark for ML inference on client form factors (LLMs, etc.).
Notes: CMake-based build system. It would be great to have a standardized way to run MLPerf on Arch.
3. RightNow AI
URL: [url][https://www.rightnowai.co/](https://www.rightnowai.co/)[/url]
Description: A GPU-native IDE specifically for writing and profiling CUDA/OpenCL kernels.
Notes: Likely needs a -bin package as it seems to be an Electron-based commercial tool with Linux binaries available.
4. Lanemu
URL: [url][https://gitlab.com/Monsterovich/lanemu](https://gitlab.com/Monsterovich/lanemu)[/url]
Description: Decentralized P2P VPN for gaming and remote work (Hamachi/ZeroTier alternative).
Notes: Open-source (GPL), written in Rust. Very useful for server-less networking.
Also, a quick note: I found that gotatun is already in the AUR (thanks to the maintainer!), but it isn't mentioned anywhere on the Arch Wiki yet. It's a solid WireGuard implementation in Rust from Mullvad, so it probably deserves a mention in the VPN or WireGuard sections once someone has a spare moment.
