Four interactive demos, each running the actual fak kernel on a single GCE VM — not a recording, not a mock. Watch an attack get refused at the boundary while an unguarded agent runs it, watch turns get saved inside the syscall, watch a shared prefix get prefilled once and cloned into a fleet, and race a live model with reuse on vs off.
The moat, side by side. The same adversarial tool-call trace runs down two columns at once:
without fak, a poisoned tool result is admitted to context and the injected delete_account
payload executes; with fak, the poison is paged out and the destructive call is refused at the boundary —
while the legitimate calls run on both. A real kernel verdict per row, no model. The point lands in ~30 seconds.
Two lanes race in real time: a SOTA two-pass agent loop versus fak's one-shot kernel, replaying the same class-labeled tool-call trace. Every turn fak saves — a grammar repair, a vDSO cache hit, a poisoned result quarantined — ticks up visibly on one lane while the other stays flat. The safety floor sits on its own axis, never folded into the turn count.
Replay through the kernel → live model · SmolLM2-135MThe fleet thesis made visible: a shared prefix prefilled once and cloned into N agents, with a per-agent timeline showing each tool result drawn to scale as the context grows unevenly. Pick a scenario, read the exact prefill-token work each strategy does (warm KV vs fak, with cold re-prefill as a worst-case reference), then run the live race — fak vs the warm-cache baseline — through the real in-kernel model.
Open the reuse proof → live model · SmolLM2-135MA head-to-head live race over one 25-request multi-agent session. The headline is fak vs a tuned warm-cache baseline — the per-agent KV / prefix-caching stack vLLM · SGLang · provider prompt-caching give you: it caches the prefix once per agent and ingests only new tokens. fak prefills the shared prefix once for the whole fleet, clones it into the agents, and batches decode. The cold re-prefill loop runs dim alongside, as a worst-case reference only. Same model, same tokens, same answers. Then build the reuse curve across the model ladder.
Run the live race →The two self-contained demos render the same kernel verdicts in your terminal, side by side, in ~30 seconds. Below is the actual output — one command each, no weights, no GPU, no network. (The reuse numbers are exact, timing-free token counts.)

go run ./cmd/ctxdemo -bars fak · context reuse, side by side

deep-research (C=4 agents · T=5 turns · P=1536 prefix · maxCtx=2,642)
cold no-cache (reference) ██████████████████████████████████████████ 40,188
tuned warm-cache (SOTA) ██████████ 9,358
fak (cross-agent reuse) █████ 4,750
→ fak makes the model re-read 2.0× fewer tokens than even a tuned warm-cache stack (8.5× fewer than cold).
Play all three with one command — then it verifies each headline still holds:

What you're hitting. A single GCE VM (NVIDIA L4) running these four Go demo servers plus the
fak serve kernel gateways. The two model demos run SmolLM2-135M in-process
through the kernel. The demo host is plain HTTP, so your browser opens it in a new tab rather than
embedding it here. There's also a live demos hub
on the same host with the CPU-vs-GPU engine comparison, a chat surface, and the kernel's metrics.
