FriedrichAI: Offline AI
Run AI directly on your PC — no cloud, no setup
FriedrichAI: Offline AI launched on May 8, 2026.
What it does
Run AI directly on your PC — no cloud, no setup, no accounts. Turn off WiFi — it still works. Private, local AI with memory. Nothing leaves your machine.
Note: This Early Access software is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to use this software in its current state, then you should wait to see if it progresses further in development. Learn more The demo is designed to help you confirm that FriedrichAI launches and runs on your system before buying the full version. It is a frozen compatibility snapshot , not a time-limited trial. It uses a conservative compatibility path, so performance may be slower than the full version on supported hardware. If the demo does not launch or does not run well on your machine, please do not buy the full version yet. FriedrichAI runs locally, so hardware compatibility…from store.steampowered.com

Off Grid – Run AI text, image gen, vision offline on your phoneFeb 2026 · github.com · ▲124Your phone has a GPU more powerful than most 2018 laptops. Right now it sits idle while you pay monthly subscriptions to run AI on someone else's server, sending your conversations, your photos, your voice to companies whose privacy policy you've never read. Off Grid is an open-source app that puts that hardware to work. Text generation, image generation, vision AI, voice transcription — all running on your phone, all offline, nothing ever uploaded. That means you can use AI on a flight with no wifi. In a country with internet censorship. In a hospital where cloud services are a compliance…
LocalAug 2026 · basecompute.co · ▲107Super excited to launch our new app Local today. What we’ve learned at Base Compute over the last months is that running AI directly on your laptop or workstation gives you maximum privacy and it’s free, but it’s also a massive headache to configure. So we’ve decided what matters is making the experience completely frictionless for users. Local analyses the hardware of your laptop, optimises the AI for it, and recommends the best models for your specific device. It let’s you do what you’re doing with cloud AI already, just for free and on your own machine: Chatting with PDF’s, Recording and…

Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
