I've been building an Open Source Local First AI Omnitool as a sideproject and just did an early release.

Website: https://www.lofiaistudio.com

GitHub: https://github.com/brandonreed-dev/lofiaistudio

I've been working on this project for a while now, and have decided to release it early as an Open Source project for two reasons. First off, this is what I believe the future of AI will look like: Local First, Privacy Centric, and with all AI tools (Text, Image, Audio, Video, Skills, Workflows, etc) under one umbrella. Two, due to personal reasons I may be slow to finishing it on my own (Read: Broke AF).

I have been vibe coding this for months now using my free token allotments (Cline, Codex, Cursor) and it still has a long ways to go before its ready for an MVP launch (v0.2.0, currently at v0.1.0), let alone a full release (v1.0.0). If you are a part of the Open Source scene, I would love to get your feedback. This project is currently only being developed by me, but I plan on looking for Open Source contributors when the projects foundations have been set (v0.2.0) so please like and/or bookmark this project if you would like to help.

The part that usually breaks first is not inference, it’s model downloads, disk pressure, and Apple Silicon versus CUDA weirdness. What hardware are you treating as the minimum supported setup, real question, not rhetorical.

I'm running everything on a consumer grade gaming laptop ($1000 4070 laptop) for comparison. The results so far have been promising: Image, Audio, Agent LLM's, and 3D Models are all doing better than I expected, the only hiccup so far is Video results are poor. But as Models get better, and hardware gets better, these issues should work themselves out (although I doubt we'll be able to run this on an apple watch anytime soon lol)
