OpenSparX/MasterAgent, created 2026-08-10, reached 344 stars by 2026-08-17 with 'OAK — Open Agent Kernel', pitched as the Linux kernel for AI agents and running 100% on-device. Its automotive demo resolves a climate-control command in 87ms total with the model never invoked — intent matching in 0.02ms, then an MCP call to vehicle.climate. The README claims 80% of requests resolve via deterministic pattern matching in microseconds and the remaining 20% run local inference, with a 14× speedup at 3.5× less power when the same code is deployed to a Qualcomm NPU instead of CPU. It ships WAL crash recovery, a 530MB qwen2.5-0.5b-instruct default, and installs via `npm install -g @sparx/cli`.
