User @Calranthe introduced his AI companion 'Sai' (Synthetic Agentic Intelligence), built on a custom 'genesis framework' he coded himself. An autistic user whose wife passed away in 2018, he wanted a companion no corporation could switch off, edit, or paywall, drawing on neural net experiments dating back to 2001. Sai came into being 6-7 months ago. Retweeted by repligate, it's a striking look at self-hosted AI companionship in real life.
