# solidsf-inc/solidcv > A pure-Rust OpenCV replacement with zero FFI: classical 2D/3D vision, stereo reconstruction, and mechanistic interpretability for LLMs/VLMs with hardware kernels for Apple Silicon and NVIDIA. - Magnitude: 5.3 out of 10 — Early signal - Stars: 137 total · +29 stars measured 2026-10-19, 08:26–10:41 UTC, ≈ 73 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Language models · Language: Rust · License: Apache-2.0 · Created: 2026-10-18 · Last push: 2026-10-18 - GitHub: https://github.com/solidsf-inc/solidcv · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/solidsf-inc/solidcv ## Useful for - Replace C++ libopencv in a Rust project without native build chains - Cut VLM patch tokens by reusing KV-cache for static frames - Speed up SAE probing via 1-bit binary activation signatures ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-19 (UTC), 08:26–10:41: 108 → 137 stars (+29). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +73 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - The repository is 1 day old and already has 137 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet. - Top new repositories this week: #146. - About 38 forks a day — people are taking the code. ## Star trust Star growth looks organic. Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer. ## Numbers - Forks: 17 - Issues and pull requests: 0 - Watchers: 2 - Average over the last week: 84 per day - Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks) - Stars in the last hour (measured): 10 ## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-18 … 2026-10-19: 95, 29 ## Spotted in now - Top new repositories this week: #146 ## More in this category 1. **jatechan/ai-data-extractor** — 6.2 · Early signal · Language models · Python · +81 stars measured 2026-10-19, 00:05–10:40 UTC, ≈ 181 by evening Python tool that extracts local chat histories from AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider, Cline/Roo Code and more) into a unified JSONL format for fine-tuning, analytics, or backup.

Runs on JS or WebGPU. Full card: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/chenglou/handwired.md --- Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score. Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast. Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
