What this is
A grassroots, open-source community for people using their own AI to push back against systemic oppression. Open tools, shared in common. Starting small.
We’re a grassroots community for people who use their own AI to push back against systemic oppression: students, independent researchers, organizers, and builders. Not a product. A place to gather, a list of open tools that already exist, and the people who want to build the next ones.
Three things hold it up
Open tools you can use today
A starter list of existing open-source projects for running and studying AI on your own terms. We don't make these; we point to them. More to come as the community adds what it uses.
- OllamaRun open language models on your own computer.
- llama.cppThe engine many local-model tools are built on. Runs on modest hardware.
- Open WebUIA self-hosted chat interface for local models.
- Hugging FaceWhere open models and datasets are published and shared.
- JupyterNotebooks for research you can show your work in.
