# OpenHuman — Private Self-Hosted AI Super Intelligence Platform > A personal AI system designed for privacy and power. OpenHuman runs locally on your hardware, providing a general-purpose AI assistant that keeps all data on-device with no cloud dependency. ## Install Save as a script file and run: # OpenHuman — Private Self-Hosted AI Super Intelligence Platform ## Quick Use ```bash git clone https://github.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman.git cd openhuman cargo build --release ./target/release/openhuman serve ``` ## Introduction OpenHuman is an open-source personal AI platform built in Rust that runs entirely on your own hardware. It aims to provide a capable, general-purpose AI assistant while guaranteeing that no data leaves your device, making it suitable for privacy-conscious users and organizations. ## What OpenHuman Does - Provides a locally-running AI assistant with chat, code, and reasoning capabilities - Keeps all conversations, data, and model weights on your hardware - Supports multiple model backends for flexible hardware utilization - Offers a web UI and CLI interface for interaction - Includes plugin and extension points for custom capabilities ## Architecture Overview OpenHuman is implemented as a Rust binary that bundles a web server, model inference coordinator, and plugin runtime. The core communicates with local model backends through a unified adapter layer. A built-in web frontend provides the chat interface, while a CLI mode enables terminal-based interaction. All state is persisted locally in SQLite. ## Self-Hosting & Configuration - Build from source with the Rust toolchain or download a pre-built binary - Point to a local model server or use the built-in inference engine - Configure via a TOML config file specifying model paths, port, and plugin settings - Data is stored locally in ~/.openhuman by default - Supports running behind a reverse proxy for remote access to your own instance ## Key Features - Complete data privacy with zero external network calls during inference - Written in Rust for memory safety and performance - Extensible plugin system for adding custom tools and integrations - Works with consumer-grade hardware, no data center required - Multi-modal support for text and document understanding ## Comparison with Similar Tools - **ChatGPT / Claude** — cloud-hosted, data sent to provider; OpenHuman runs fully local - **Jan** — local AI desktop app; OpenHuman adds an extensible plugin runtime - **GPT4All** — desktop-focused local chat; OpenHuman targets broader agentic use cases - **Open WebUI** — frontend for Ollama; OpenHuman bundles its own inference coordinator ## FAQ **Q: What hardware do I need?** A: A modern CPU with 16 GB RAM can run smaller models. A GPU accelerates larger models significantly. **Q: Which models are supported?** A: Any GGUF or SafeTensors model compatible with the configured backend, including Llama, Mistral, and Qwen families. **Q: Is there a mobile app?** A: Not currently. Access is via the web UI in a browser or the CLI. **Q: Can multiple users share one instance?** A: Yes, the web server supports concurrent sessions. Authentication can be configured for multi-user setups. ## Sources - https://github.com/tinyhumansai/openhuman --- Source: https://tokrepo.com/en/workflows/asset-88851f94 Author: Script Depot
