OpenMindAI v1.0.0 🚀

The first stable release of OpenMindAI is here.

OpenMindAI is a local-first, offline AI desktop application designed to run AI directly on your own computer using your CPU, RAM, GPU, and VRAM — without requiring a paid AI API or cloud account for core AI chat.

✨ Highlights

  • Local AI chat powered by an open-weight model
  • Works offline after the initial setup
  • Automatic hardware detection
  • GPU acceleration with supported hardware
  • CPU fallback when GPU acceleration is unavailable
  • Automatic AI runtime setup
  • Automatic model download and verification
  • Resumable model downloads
  • Real-time streaming AI responses
  • Stop generation at any time
  • Local persistent chat history
  • SQLite-based local database
  • Custom local AI storage location
  • Local profile/database setup
  • Automatic restoration of previous conversations
  • Built-in system health and setup architecture
  • Application and model update support
  • Portable/local storage architecture

🤖 AI Model

OpenMindAI v1.0.0 uses:

Qwen3 4B — Q4_K_M

The model runs locally through llama.cpp.

AI model files are downloaded during initial setup and are not bundled inside the application installer.

🔒 Local & Offline by Design

After the first-time setup is complete, core OpenMindAI features can work without an internet connection.

Your local:

  • Conversations
  • AI model
  • Database
  • Settings
  • Runtime
  • Generated data

remain inside your configured OpenMindAI storage location.

No OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or other paid AI API is required for local AI chat.

🖥️ Hardware Acceleration

OpenMindAI automatically checks your computer and selects the most suitable available AI runtime.

Depending on your system, OpenMindAI can use:

  • GPU acceleration
  • Dedicated VRAM
  • System RAM
  • CPU fallback

Performance will vary depending on your hardware.

💾 First-Time Setup

On the first launch, OpenMindAI guides you through the setup process:

  1. Choose where OpenMindAI should store its AI data.
  2. Create your local profile.
  3. OpenMindAI prepares the local database.
  4. Your hardware is detected automatically.
  5. The compatible AI runtime is prepared.
  6. The required AI model is downloaded and verified.
  7. OpenMindAI becomes ready for local AI use.

After setup, future launches reuse the existing installation automatically.

🔄 Updates

OpenMindAI includes an update architecture for future application and AI model releases.

When a newer supported version becomes available, OpenMindAI can notify you and update the application while preserving your local AI data.

Your conversations, models, database, settings, and workspaces are kept separate from application updates.

📦 Download

Choose the appropriate release file for your platform from the Assets section below.

For most Windows users, use the standard OpenMindAI installer.

Bootstrap launchers may also be provided for supported platforms.

⚠️ Important

The initial setup requires an internet connection to download the required AI runtime and model.

After successful setup, core local AI chat can operate offline.

AI performance depends heavily on your CPU, RAM, GPU, VRAM, selected model, and available system resources.

🛣️ What’s Next

Future OpenMindAI releases are planned to expand the local AI platform with features such as:

  • Additional local AI models
  • Intelligent model routing
  • Local RAG and knowledge bases
  • File/document intelligence
  • Coding agents
  • Web research
  • Vision
  • Image generation
  • Voice capabilities

These features are not part of v1.0.0 unless explicitly included in a later release.

Thank you for trying OpenMindAI v1.0.0.

Your AI. Your hardware. Your data.
