26 C++ and python libraries each benchmarked against the current category leader with documented losses. NSSort is 182,000x faster than IPS4o on structured distributions. NSKVCache compresses 1M token context to 168MB from 35GB raw FP16. NSFix runs 18.8x QuickFIX throughput. NSComp decompresses 29x faster than zstd. Every product documents where it loses. Run any benchmark yourself with one make command. Free for individuals. More information at ofmagnitude.com

Could you build this?
No Building 26 high-performance C++ and Python systems libraries that claim order-of-magnitude algorithmic speedups over state-of-the-art implementations requires world-class low-level systems engineering and algorithmic research.
What it would actually take: A project like this requires deep systems programming (C++, assembly, SIMD vectorization, cache-oblivious data structures, and custom memory management) combined with novel algorithmic designs for sorting, compression, and context caching. It requires rigorous benchmarking harnesses against industry standards like IPS4o and QuickFIX across various hardware architectures. A solo vibe-coder lacks both the low-level mechanical sympathy and mathematical rigor required to invent and validate these algorithms.
