@cellmobs cellmobs released this 29 Sep 22:40

BNW 0.7.1 makes a fresh install reach the network without configuration.

Install or update

curl -fsSL https://github.com/cellmobs/bnw-releases/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh
# or
brew install cellmobs/bnw/bnw   # brew upgrade bnw to update

Changes

  • A public relay by default. A node given no --relay now uses BNW's public relay (relay.cellmobs.com, pinned to its peer ID). A node behind a home or office router can reach peers on other networks right after bnw setup, and the relay is its first peer for discovering capabilities. --relay replaces the default, and --no-default-relay turns it off.
  • Capabilities are found again after reconnecting. A node advertises its capabilities again whenever it gets a new relay reservation, and every hour. A node that started before it was online, or a relay that restarted, no longer leaves shared capabilities unfindable for hours.
  • Signed results appear in published track records. Automated results no longer carry boilerplate text, so receipt digests include the provider's signed result.
  • The installer no longer prints an error in scripts and containers after a successful install.

BNW 0.7.0

Choose a tag to compare

@cellmobs cellmobs released this 29 Sep 20:58

The first public build of BNW: a local-first peer-to-peer network for sharing models, MCP tools, REST APIs, agents, and search across your devices, your contacts, and organizations, with no central operator.

Install

curl -fsSL https://github.com/cellmobs/bnw-releases/releases/latest/download/install.sh | sh
# or
brew install cellmobs/bnw/bnw

Then run bnw setup to create this device's identity, start the node at login, and open the web client.

In this release

  • Share a local model (Ollama, LM Studio, llama.cpp), a hosted one (OpenRouter, Hugging Face), an MCP tool, or a REST API from an OpenAPI document, and use it from another device or from an AI assistant through bnw mcp serve.
  • Every invocation is end-to-end encrypted and signed, and leaves a provenance bundle anyone can verify offline.
  • Requesters sign receipts of what they got, and can share them so a capability's followers see each provider's track record.
