Welcome to Knaix CLI
Knaix (pronounced "/nɑks/" like "knocks", or "/naɪks/" like "snakes"... your AI, your rules, your choice!) is the high-performance orchestration engine powering the Kovalent Private AI platform. The CLI is built in Rust to provide developers with a single, fast binary to manage their private intelligence infrastructure.
High Performance
Written in Rust, the CLI starts in milliseconds and handles streaming computations with zero overhead.
Zero Trust
Every command is authenticated via SSO and proxied over a private WireGuard-based mesh network.
Core Philosophy
Most AI platforms treat your terminal as just another thin client for a public API. Knaix treats your machine as a first-class peer in a private intelligence mesh. When you log in, your device becomes part of the shared state, allowing you to interact with isolated nodes as if they were running locally—without exposing them to the internet.
