About
We're building the world's biggest supercomputer
A distributed compute platform that turns idle machines into a global research network.
darkreach is an AI-driven distributed computing platform for scientific discovery. It combines autonomous AI agents with high-performance algorithms to research, optimize, and execute computational campaigns across a global network of operator nodes.
Our current focus is prime number discovery — searching for 12 special forms of prime numbers with deterministic proofs. But the architecture is general: the same agent-driven orchestration can tackle any embarrassingly parallel scientific computation, from protein folding to climate simulation.
The project is fully open source under the MIT license. We believe scientific discoveries should be independently verifiable, the tools should be available to everyone, and the code should serve as a teaching resource for computational science.
Project Timeline
Project inception
Started as a factorial prime hunter in Rust with GMP. First primes found within days.
Core engine complete
Implemented 4 prime forms (factorial, palindromic, k*b^n, near-repdigit) with Pocklington/Morrison proofs.
Expanded to 12 forms
Added primorial, Cullen/Woodall, Wagstaff, Carol/Kynea, twin, Sophie Germain, repunit, and generalized Fermat searches.
Network infrastructure
Built coordinator/node architecture with PostgreSQL work distribution and real-time dashboard.
Rebranded to darkreach
Repositioned as an AI-driven distributed computing platform. Launched darkreach.ai with docs and status page.
AI agent integration
Autonomous agents for research, strategy optimization, and campaign orchestration.
Website v1 launch
Repositioned as the world's biggest supercomputer. New marketing site, operator onboarding, and research initiatives.
New research initiatives
Expanding beyond prime discovery to protein folding, climate models, and cryptographic research.
Values
What we believe
Transparent by Default
Every decision, every result, every algorithm is open for inspection. No black boxes, no hidden processes.
Compute for Everyone
Anyone with a machine can contribute. Discoveries are credited to operators, not institutions.
Verifiable Results
Deterministic proofs and primality certificates ensure every discovery is independently verifiable.
Open Source Always
MIT licensed from day one. The tools, algorithms, and infrastructure belong to everyone.
Built with
Technology Stack
Rust
Zero-cost abstractions, memory safety, and fearless concurrency for the engine and server.
GMP (rug)
GNU Multiple Precision Arithmetic — the gold standard for arbitrary-precision integer math.
PFGW / GWNUM
Specialized number theory software for 50-100x acceleration on large primality tests.
PostgreSQL
Relational database for primes, workers, jobs, and work distribution with row-level locking.
Axum
Async Rust web framework for the coordinator REST API and WebSocket server.
Next.js
React framework for the dashboard (app.darkreach.ai) and website (darkreach.ai).
Open Source
darkreach is licensed under MIT. Every line of engine code, every proof algorithm, and every orchestration strategy is open for inspection, modification, and contribution.
