An MIT-licensed, local-first AI workspace published around May 31 that reached roughly 54,000 stars and 6,300 forks by June 5. It bundles chat over local and remote models (vLLM, llama.cpp, Ollama, OpenRouter, OpenAI), autonomous agents with bash/files/web/memory tools plus MCP servers, a document editor, image generation and inpainting, IMAP/SMTP email triage, and multi-step research, all with no telemetry.
