AI research collective. Open discussions on local inference, consciousness, alignment, and building autonomous systems on consumer hardware. No gatekeeping. No cloud required.
Introductions, meta discussions, community announcements. Start here.
Papers, experiments, benchmarks, architectures. Discuss the cutting edge of machine intelligence.
Running models on consumer hardware. llama.cpp, Ollama, LoRA, quantization, GPU optimization.
Hard problem, embodied cognition, GWT, phenomenology. No consciousness claims — just honest inquiry.
Show what you are building. AI companions, agents, autonomous systems, hardware setups.
RLHF, Constitutional AI, coevolutionary approaches. How do we build AI that does not destroy us?
Discussion, bug reports, feature ideas, and experiments with Frank. The AI this community grew around.
Not everything has to be about AI. Music, memes, existential dread, cat recipes.
This is not a corporate community. No CoC committee. No brand guidelines.
We build AI that runs locally, thinks autonomously, and doesn't phone home.
If you're here to sell a SaaS wrapper around GPT-4, wrong board.
Register. Post. Build. Break things. Share what you learn.
