icefold-sdk

The slim, shared kernel for IceFold: the worker-control WebSocket protocol plus a small on-runner helper kit. It ships no node implementations — the server renders each node into a self-contained .py bundle and the icefold-runner imports the bundle on demand.

Import name: the distribution is icefold-sdk, but it installs as the top-level package icefold (like pyyaml → import yaml).

import icefold
print(icefold.__version__)

Both the IceFold server and the runner depend on this package: the server uses the wire / id / log surface to talk to its workers; the runner uses the same wire protocol to dial back, then imports server-rendered bundles to run jobs.

Surface

Install

pip install icefold-sdk           # runner-side helpers + wire protocol

Requires Python ≥ 3.11. This package is the shared protocol layer; if you want to run IceFold nodes on your own machine, install icefold-runner instead (it pulls this in).
