# MiniModel.MiRust.com Developer documentation for MiniModel.com, `.slm`, and the metadata-only tiny model exchange architecture. Read first: - /docs/overview.md - /docs/slm-format.md - /docs/manifest-v0.md - /docs/verifier-mvp.md - /docs/source-lanes.md - /docs/legal-boundary.md - /docs/p2p-roadmap.md - /docs/agent-readme.md - /examples/minimodel.manifest.v0.example Hard rules: - Project servers never run user model bytes. - Project servers never serve user model bytes. - Project servers never proxy external model-byte downloads. - MiniModel.com may serve docs, schemas, metadata, public-key routes, examples, and takedown/contact routes only. - TinyRustLM.com remains browser-local. - Users import local `.slm` files through the browser file picker. - Rust owns `.slm` validation and checksum verification. - Long-term memory stays pointer-based and checksum-bearing. Source options: - User local files: simplest path. - Hugging Face: metadata discovery and user-side acquisition context only. - Future P2P: consent-based chunk transfer after local verifier and legal boundary are stable.
