nanobot Runtime & Failover
Why Rust here
Not “safer permissions by magic”—smaller memory footprints, fewer Node dependency trees, single artifacts. Security still depends on tool allowlists and network binding.
Multi-model failover
Marketing emphasizes round-robin / circuit breakers across providers. Operationally: define primary + backup, alert on fallback, and keep prompts portable across models.
Cold start & serverless
Some builds claim sub-100ms Lambda ARM cold starts and tiny stripped binaries. Useful when you want pay-per-invoke edges—not required for a always-on VPS bot.
Voice
Built-in STT/TTS appears in several nanobot materials. Treat voice as an extra data path (audio retention, third-party STT keys).
Cost
Binary host may save a little RAM vs Node+skills; LLM tokens still dominate (token calculator).
