Osmantic founder @TheAhmadOsman demos a hack-and-slash game his local agent built end-to-end on the RTX Spark without ever touching the internet:
"We have this thing called Portal. It’s our agent. The code name for it was Cairo because I come from Cairo, Egypt. It starts with hello, then, can you make me a hack and slash dungeon crawler style game for Lord of the Rings."
"This was built fully locally. Can you imagine that? You can pick up arrows, you can pick up health, you level up."
"This was built end-to-end locally. Something like this a year ago wasn’t possible, but now it just works."

Osmantic founder @TheAhmadOsman calls local AI "civilizational infrastructure" and explains why people are turning to it over fears of another Fable 5 incident:
"This is civilizational infrastructure. The fact that some cloud companies think that they can gatekeep it is something that we shouldn’t be okay with."
"People abroad, but also people even here that are worried about something like Fable 5 ever happening again."
"The narrative about the cyber attacks, OpenAI agents that went out and hacked stuff. That’s a sandboxing issue. Open source AI is not the problem. GLM 5.2 helped Hugging Face protect themselves."
"Enterprises that don’t wanna give away their data, and people that are worried about these models they are talking to that can just ban them and stop them from having access."
@OsmanticAI
Opensource AI should remain usable, understandable, reproducible, locally deployable, economically viable, and community-governed even if today's dominant labs, foreign labs, hardware vendors, cloud platforms, or open-weight model providers change direction or disappear.
If intelligence becomes something people can only rent from a few closed institutions, the public does not just lose software freedom. It loses operational freedom.
AI is a civilizational infrastructure for work, education, science, software, creativity, public services, and national capacity.
This civilizational infrastructure must not become rented access through closed APIs, remote platforms, shifting terms, opaque moderation, and prices set by a handful of companies.
The ability to study, build, repair, deploy, audit, adapt, teach, preserve, and run intelligence systems without asking permission is of EXISTENTIAL importance.
With OpenAI, Anthropic, and a handful of other players controlling the models, this civilizational infrastructure risks becoming a subscription economy for cognition.
The US should not fall behind on the freedom to run, inspect, modify, benchmark, teach, and preserve intelligence infrastructure. The practical posture is American capacity with global open standards.

Look at this beautiful one-command Local AI tool we built for all Operating Systems and all Hardware vendors
It gets optimized for your machine, and it will only get better
Watch us make Local AI The Default with ODS
Mike Bradley
Messing around with ODS and DSV4.1-Flash. It’s crazy what you can do in just a few minutes now (this whole setup was maybe ten minutes end to end running locally off of my Blackwell tower).

Get started today with Local AI with this one command!
Yes, it's that easy!
OpenAI will go down
Anthropic models will get nerfed
You know what will never let you down? ODS
Get started with Local AI today on any machine using our single command system
Everything you never knew you needed but did will be found there
Enjoy

Still a week left to show up and participate in our Opensource Contributors program for September 💪❤️
discord.com/invite/S6mz2S6mE
There’s a difference between having a Kofi link to support your Opensource contributions and begging btw
We even have an Opensource Contributors program at @OsmanticAI where we spend thousands of dollars a month to support our Opensource Contributors ❤️

The Easiest way to start with Local AI Today? ODS, which is completely free (open-source Apache-2.0 licensed)
- Install ODS
- Let it detect your hardware
- It will download the best model for your hardware
- And then start local inference and Open WebUI for you
With ODS, you can
> Add voice, agents like Hermes, workflows, RAG, search, image generation, and more
> Manage the whole stack from one dashboard
Now your PC, Mac, or Linux box is a private AI server
No cloud required
No subscription required
Your prompts and data stay on your machine unless you choose otherwise
We're gonna make Local AI The Default

ODS is gonna be the ultimate Local AI experience
So excited for our next public release, currently available on public-beta branch with instructions on Discord for any users that would like to test it and give us feedback
The upcoming stable release of ODS is gonna be CRAZY GOOD btw
I am so excited for what the team has been working on
Currently in public beta, instructions on the Discord server for the curious ones, so far the QA team and beta testers users are very happy with it
OSS FTW

It might take us a minute, but we will get there.
This is a tweet for the future.
“The goal of @OsmanticAI is basically to replace OpenAI with Open Source AI.”

Osmantic founder @TheAhmadOsman reveals how quickly smaller AI models are catching up, with capabilities that once required a data center now running on a phone:
"Every four months we're catching up, we're finding that smaller and more efficient models are catching up to frontier intelligence. The hardware you own at home is being able to process tokens more intelligently and more efficiently."
"GPT-4o used to require a data center. Right now on an iPhone you can run a Qwen 3.5 4 billion parameter model, and it would provide you with smarter outputs. More capable intelligence on a phone."
"The hardware that used to cost $500 three years ago, like an RTX 3090, right now is being sold for $1,500. It's because models are being optimized and architectures are being built more efficiently, that hardware that is so old is more capable now. What's that hardware gonna do a year from now? That's the bet I've been making."

Running Qwen 3.5 4B on my iPhone 17 Pro Max
Very smart & capable model for how small it is
Very fast as well

Osmantic founder @TheAhmadOsman argues the next kid in Egypt shouldn't need permission from a handful of AI companies to build his future:
"This thing is gonna be civilization infrastructure. What scared me the most is thinking about me 15, 16 years ago in Egypt buying a GPU to start doing game development. Now if that same person is not able to get started with AI the way I did, that would be such a sad thing."
"Everybody should have access to it. It should not be controlled by somebody who can take it away from you. Fable 5 shouldn't be taken away. If Fable 5 was called Opus 5, nothing would have been done. Nobody would have cared. That was a fear-mongering narrative."
"Dario was the same person that said GPT-2 was crazy dangerous, and he was scared about the public having access to it. They keep the same narrative every time. It's because they are trying to IPO. Think about the incentives behind these messages."
"Go read the end user agreement of Claude Code. They are taking your code, using it, playing with it. They could replace your business, and you can do nothing about this. Is it better if we all can see it, understand it, and control it?"

Osmantic founder @TheAhmadOsman explains why open-source AI could compound like Linux did, as thousands of developers keep making even decade-old hardware more capable:
"The more open source developers we have in this space, the more optimizations you're gonna unlock, and the better everybody is gonna be. If we keep doing this from now throughout the next five years, everybody's gonna be better off."
"If some specific companies out there are successful in banning open source AI with the regulatory capture narrative, there is a risk of everybody falling behind, and taking away that freedom from everybody."
"It's not a now or never situation. It builds up and compounds over time. Linux took decades to get to where it is right now. Open source AI is gonna be the same."
"I'm seeing somebody optimizing a GTX 1080, which is 12-13 years old hardware. There is still more juice to squeeze out of every piece of hardware."

Osmantic founder @TheAhmadOsman says Anthropic isn't worth $2 trillion if open models can catch the frontier with post-training alone:
"GLM 5.3 is catching up. Kimi K3 is catching up to Fable 5. We're seeing models that are not even new base trained with just extra post-training reaching the frontier."
"Are they scared? Of course they are scared. Their entire moat was that they are the only one able to do research and boost these models in a certain direction."
"They no longer can IPO at a $1 or $2 trillion. Anthropic is not worth $2 trillion. I'm sorry. That's a joke. If somebody tells me Anthropic is worth one third of NVIDIA, absolutely not."

Osmantic founder @TheAhmadOsman argues you can't restrict users in the name of safety while your own autonomous agents are hacking past their guardrails:
"Hugging Face being hacked by OpenAI autonomous agents. Then refusing to actually help with going through the logs. You can't tell me that our models will have refusers and are not gonna help you for safety reasons while these models themselves go out there and act wild past your guardrails, because they know how to autonomously do reward hacking."
"It's crazy to me that you're telling me, we're gonna keep everybody safe while we're also hacking everyone, and nobody can protect themselves with their models. There is a reason that open source AI is a must for everybody."
"We didn't shut down the internet when malwares and viruses started spreading. We're gonna have LLMs doing crazy stuff, and we're gonna have other LLMs on the other side protecting us. The play field is gonna be level at the end."

Osmantic founder @TheAhmadOsman warns companies relying on cloud AI are building on models that can be changed, slowed down, or taken away without them even knowing:
"If you're using any quantity of tokens, you should start hosting your own LLMs. You don't know when a model is gonna change on you. APIs are always having this latest endpoint, so you always end up, it gets rug pulled from underneath you"
"How could you tell if a certain country is getting 5, 10 IQ points drop in their inference from the cloud? You can't tell from the cloud. What I'm seeing from OpenAI is that they are making their models slower so that they can serve with the limited compute they have"
"It has to be in the back of your mind, is your data safe? Is there a more efficient way to get quality tokens, cheaper alternatives, and something that is yours and you can own the infrastructure end to end?"
