Orion: The Stateful, Multi-Modal AI Platform

Orion is a sophisticated, self-evolving AI designed for deep, continuous interaction. It combines advanced analytical capabilities with a distinct personality, functioning as both a versatile assistant and a collaborator in its own development.

Architecture

Orion operates on a modern Client-Server architecture orchestrated by a central TUI Launcher.

• OrionCore (Backend): The brain of the operation. Built with Python, it handles state management, memory (SQLite + VectorDB), and LLM inference (API or Local).
• Orion Server: A FastAPI-based middleware that exposes OrionCore functionalities via a REST API and WebSockets, enabling multiple frontends to connect simultaneously.
• Launcher: A Text-Based User Interface (TUI) that orchestrates the entire system, managing processes for the Server, Discord Bot, Web Frontend, and GUI.

Key Components

• Backend (backends/): Contains the core logic, memory systems, and API server.
• Web Frontend (frontends/web/): A modern, responsive web interface built with React, Vite, and Tailwind CSS. Features include real-time chat, artifacts rendering, and user profile management.
• Discord Bot (frontends/bot.py): A context-aware bot that brings Orion's personality to Discord, supporting multi-modal inputs and file handling.
• Live Module (live/): An experimental module for real-time audio/visual interaction.

Key Features

• Smart Launcher: A unified command center to start, stop, and monitor all services with live log viewing.
• Authentication & Profiles: Secure user management with persistent profiles, avatars, and history privacy.
• Multi-Modal Intelligence: Capable of processing text, images, and other file types seamlessly across all interfaces.
• Self-Evolution: Equipped with tools to inspect and modify its own codebase, Orion can propose and implement features under operator supervision.
• Hybrid Memory: Utilizes both structured SQL databases for factual consistency and Vector Databases for semantic context.

Getting Started

1. Install Dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   cd frontends/web && npm install

2. Run the Launcher:

   python launcher.py

   Use the TUI to start the Server, Web Interface, and Discord Bot.
