webAI's app is now publicly available, pitching "expert AI running on your laptop" — a co-working space for people and personalized AI teams — alongside a new open 8B model and Mac app.
Notable AI commentator omarsar endorsed the vision, saying he already uses smaller local models to scale agent teams and believes powerful small reasoning models running locally can unlock workflows like AI R&D and custom harness optimization.
