Show HN: I built Otis, a minimal AI agent that runs local models out of the box

https://triangllabs.ai/otis
2•petrenk0n•48m ago
Hi everyone,

Been working on Otis, an open-source ai agent that gives you one minimal experience across local and hosted open-weight models, privacy-focused by design.

On setup it recommends a local model based on the hardware Otis is running on, downloads it and runs it through llama.cpp for you. Ollama, LM Studio and Nvidia PAIR are supported too.

Excited for everyone to try it and all feedback is welcome!

Trying to make a safe and readable language – looking for contributors
