Decentralized mesh networking in Rust is infrastructure-focused but not core to AI/ML orchestration.
Summary
GhostWire, built with libp2p, is a Rust-based decentralized mesh network enabling offline communication via WiFi Direct, Bluetooth, and LoRa. AI-powered routing uses a LightGBM anomaly detector (AUC 1.0, 76.7μs inference) and a Graph Neural Network trained on GuifiSants data, exported via ONNX for Rust integration.
