LM-Kit.NET is a complete local AI runtime for .NET that lets engineering teams ship AI-powered features without cloud dependencies, per-token costs, or data leaving the network.
Most .NET AI integrations stop at inference. LM-Kit.NET covers the full range of capabilities production applications actually need: agentic workflows with tool calling, planning, and memory; document intelligence with OCR and structured extraction; retrieval-augmented generation with built-in vector storage; multilingual speech-to-text; vision and multimodal understanding; text analysis with classification, NER, PII extraction, and sentiment; and text generation with translation, summarization, and constrained output.
Ships in one NuGet package, runs in-process with no sidecar services, and works across all major hardware acceleration backends. Drop-in replacement for Semantic Kernel through its Microsoft.Extensions.AI compatibility layer.

Chainstack is a blockchain node platform that powers global Web3 applications across fintech, DeFi, wallets, custodians, gaming, AI agents, trading, and analytics.
Chainstack's core products include Global Node, low-latency RPC endpoints for everyday workloads; Dedicated Node, single-tenant nodes with guaranteed resources for heavy workloads; reliable infrastructure built for trading bots and MEV strategies; and Unlimited Node, an add-on for unmetered request scaling. Together with Chainstack Self-Hosted for teams that need infrastructure on their own premises, these products cover every stage from prototyping to institutional-scale deployment.
Chainstack supports major blockchain networks, including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Polygon, Hyperliquid, Robinhood Chain, and other EVM-based and non-EVM chains, with elastic (auto-scaling) and dedicated node instances across mainnet and testnet. For Solana-focused trading and MEV operators, Chainstack offers the Yellowstone gRPC Geyser plugin for real-time on-chain data streaming and Jito ShredStream for low-latency transaction propagation.
Deployment options span the public cloud, preferred service providers, or fully self-hosted infrastructure, all managed through a single console with standardized node management across chains and environments. Core infrastructure features include global load-balanced RPC endpoints, blockchain data APIs, node monitoring, and request-unit-based usage tracking, keeping performance predictable and costs transparent as usage grows.
Chainstack offers a free Developer plan alongside paid Growth, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans, so teams can start building at no cost and scale into preferred infrastructure setup as usage grows.
Teams cut time-to-market, cost, and risk with a single platform for blockchain nodes, whether in the cloud, through a preferred service provider, or self-hosted. Standardized node management across chains and environments puts reliability on autopilot and keeps performance predictable.
Operators get control and transparency, while developers get a consistent way to build and scale. Fintech companies, DeFi protocols, wallets, custodians, trading firms, analytics platforms, and Web3 service providers running fleets use Chainstack as the fastest way to run reliable, predictable blockchain nodes at scale.

Vectorizer
Vectorization of raster images is done by converting pixel color information into simple geometric objects. The most common variant is looking over edge detection areas of the same or similar brightness or color, which are then expressed as a graphic primitives like lines, circles and curves. A Raster graphics image is a rectangular grid of pixels, in which each pixel (or point) has an associated color value. Changing the size of the raster image mostly results in loss of apparent quality. Vector graphics are not based on pixels but on primitives such as points, lines, curves which are represented by mathematical expressions. Without a loss in quality vector graphics are easily scale- and rotatable.
