Looking for Mac owners to break my app!
Mondro is a private AI for your household that runs on your Mac. You need an M series chip and 16 GB of memory or more.
Reply with your Mac model and memory.
Waitlist for the beta: mondrosystems.com
Chip and memory: Apple menu > About This Mac.
Hey Sam Altman, I dare you to try and take his GPU away from him lol
Mondro for Mac 0.2.0 is out! A private AI that runs on your Mac and now does real jobs: adds calendar events, drafts email replies, clears space on your Mac, and runs your lights through Home Assistant (Beta).

can't believe i got to skip all the early software development languages and just start with english
Shipped last week in Mondro for Mac: teen profiles. An adult sets one up for a teen aged 13 to 17 (US and Canada). It’s a set of limits, not a lock. In a teen’s chats Mondro uses only the AI on this Mac: no tools, no memory. Free during the public beta. mondro.app/?utm_source=x_tee…

hey sam, your mclaren is only used 5% of the time. this is a terrible allocation of scarce resources. have you considered taking the bus to work
sam: local inference is a terrible allocation of scarce resources
“a lot of people want local inference, and somehow they assume that the problem is solved now because we have open-source models, we're going to be able to run them on our computers, and so we're not going to need all the stuff in the data centre
but from a global allocation perspective, actually it's quite terrible to have everybody, like, have a bunch of the world's limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer and being used five percent of the time
you want maximum utilisation in the cloud if you're trying to deal with this very supply-constrained environment
somehow many people's intuition is the opposite of that”

Qwen 3.8 27B is actually the most brilliant retarded model that I have ever used. 😅
It spends about 2/4 of its reasoning trace coming up with the most retarded ideas known to man, and then an additional 1/4 convincing itself that its ideas are completely retarded.
It then manages, from the ashes of retardation, to arise towards the cleanest, most efficient, and bug-free implementation of any open-weight model of this size.
It kinda works like American politics, in a way?!

every product i use should just be a headless mcp, that feeds into an agent, where i never have to think about anything underneath.
except for our product, of course.
in our product, customers love the ui and love us very much.
we're special that way.

Mondro for Mac 0.1.10 is out! We built a user requested feature: teen profiles (ages 13 to 17, US and Canada), and more enhancements. It's free, and the AI runs on your Mac. Got an idea for a feature? Click your name in the app and click Suggest a feature. Go to mondro.app/?utm_source=x_tee…
I use an AI for work every day. But I wanted one at home that keeps my personal documents on my own Mac, not in someone's data centre.
So I built Mondro for Mac. Now I can ask it "Hey when does the warranty for my washer run out?" and "Who installed my hot water tank?" And I get answers in seconds.
It’s free. It runs local models on your Mac with llama.cpp, so the AI that reads your leases, insurance policies and scanned PDFs runs on your machine. Its memory is plain text files you can open and edit. Routines run on a schedule. Tools like calendars connect after you turn them on, and the app is transparent every step of the way.
If you you want powerful AI without giving up your privacy you should download Mondro for Mac!
