Autonomous project builds open-source personal AI computers running locally
dee_hw · x · 2026-08-19
The Autonomous project is building open-source personal AI computers that users can assemble themselves, from hardware to software. The systems run local models using tools like vLLM, Ollama, or llama.cpp, scaling from 2× RTX 5090 up to 8× RTX 5090 or 4× RTX PRO 6000 setups. The initiative emphasizes data ownership and privacy with no API bills. Hugging Face's Reachy Mini desk robot is also noted to run the Autonomous OS.
