Your PS5 as a private AI assistant: chat on the TV, talk to it with the controller, and serve an OpenAI-compatible API to the coding tools and chat apps on your network, or anywhere with Tailscale. Everything runs on the console's own GPU through ts5, the project's own inference engine. No cloud, no subscription.
There are two editions, built from the same code:
| Edition | Runs on | Get it |
|---|---|---|
PS5 title (TokenStation5, PPSA99555) |
A jailbroken PS5 on firmware 13.60 or lower | Install on PS5 (Prospero Store) |
| Linux | A PS5 running Linux, or any Linux PC with a Vulkan GPU | Install on Linux |
- Install one edition (links above).
- Pick a model. The Models page downloads the checked ones straight to the console.
- Connect an app, or just chat on the TV.
- Optional: reach it from anywhere with Tailscale, and give it web search.
- Using the TV app: the five pages and what every button does
- Models: what fits, what's checked, adding your own
- Connecting apps: Kilo Code, Continue, Cline, Open WebUI, aider, opencode, your own scripts
- Away from home with Tailscale
- Web search: a Tavily key and the model looks things up
- PS5 hardware on Linux: GPU memory, compute units, clock boost, fan, tuning
- Benchmarks: measured speeds on the console and on Linux
- Test results on PS5 Linux: what was tested on a PS5 with Linux, and what came out
- Recommended settings: what to run, and which model for what
- Building from source: the title, the Linux packages, the engine
- Troubleshooting
- Licensing: what you may do with it
The API is plain HTTP on port 8081. Turn on Require a key in Settings and make a key per app. On a jailbroken PS5 the jailbreak's own FTP and payload ports have no password, so anyone on your network can read the title's files, keys included: keep the console on a network you trust, and never forward port 8081 on your router. Use Tailscale instead.
