BruteForceAI
Advanced LLM-powered brute-force tool combining AI intelligence
BruteForceAI is an open-source security testing tool that applies large language models to the analysis of login forms and authentication flows in web applications. At a high level, the project uses AI to inspect HTML content, identify the relevant form elements, and automate selector discovery so that a tester does not need to hand-map every field before evaluation. It combines that analysis layer with automated credential testing workflows, framing itself as a more adaptive alternative to older brute-force tooling that depends heavily on manual configuration. The repository emphasizes features such as threaded execution, logging, and notification integrations, which position it as an automation-oriented project for controlled security assessment environments. From a software design perspective, its distinguishing idea is the use of language models as a front-end analysis layer that interprets a target page before the rest of the workflow proceeds. -

AirLLM
AirLLM 70B inference with single 4GB GPU
AirLLM is an open source Python library that enables extremely large language models to run on consumer hardware with very limited GPU memory. The project addresses one of the main barriers to local LLM experimentation by introducing a memory-efficient inference technique that loads model layers sequentially rather than storing the entire model in GPU memory. This layer-wise inference approach allows models with tens of billions of parameters to run on devices with only a few gigabytes of VRAM. AirLLM preprocesses model weights so that each transformer layer can be loaded independently during computation, reducing the memory footprint while still performing full inference. As a result, developers can experiment with models that previously required specialized high-end GPUs. -
