v1.0.1
OpenMindAI v1.0.1 🚀
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 v1.0.1 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:
Choose where OpenMindAI should store its AI data.
Create your local profile.
OpenMindAI prepares the local database.
Your hardware is detected automatically.
The compatible AI runtime is prepared.
The required AI model is downloaded and verified.
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.
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.
