Glossary Of Terms

Crucible Plugins

Crucible plugins are a series of native plugins that expose the Rune AI's functionality in domain specific application. ex:

• Crucible-Sound for Ableton
• Crucible-Image for Figma (coming soon)
• Crucible-Web for Web Browsers (coming soon)
• Crucible-Video for Final Cut Pro (coming soon)

Docker

• Docker is a platform that enables developers to package, distribute, and run applications in isolated environments. Signals & Sorcery uses Docker to package and distribute AI Elixirs.
• Images: Blueprint templates used to create one or more containers.
• Containers: executable software packages that include everything needed to run a piece of software

Rune AI's

• Runes are a collection of machine learning operations that can be run on remote compute instances. They are packaged and distributed as Docker containers.
• When run, they automatically connect to the Signals & Sorcery server.
• Users can run Runes from the Crucible plugins.

GPU & CPU

• CPU: Central Processing Unit. The main processor in a computer. Almost all computers have a CPU.
• GPU: Graphics Processing Unit. A specialized processor user for graphics and machine learning. Not all computers have a GPU. NOTE: Many Elixirs require a GPU to run.

Guild

• Signals & Sorcery community forums. A place to ask questions, share ideas, and get help.

Runes CLI

The Runes CLI is a python command-line-interface used to manage Rune AI's on MAC, LINUX and desktops and servers

Vault

The Vault is an Rune AI's registry. It is a place to store and share Elixirs with other users.

Virtual Machines

A virtual machine or VM in this context is a remote server usually running on a public cloud like Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure. Running Elixirs on VMs is an ideal setup for long-running setups. NOTE: Many Elixirs require a GPU to run.
