v0.1.7 Open Source

EdgeAI-OS

AI-Native Operating System

A bootable Linux distribution where AI is a system primitive.
No cloud. No API keys. Just /dev/ai.

❌ The Problem

  • Cloud AI requires sending data externally
  • API keys and accounts needed
  • Python dependencies and pip hell
  • Doesn't work in air-gapped networks
  • Per-token costs add up fast

✅ The Solution

  • 100% local - data never leaves
  • No accounts, no API keys
  • Zero dependencies - just boot
  • Works completely offline
  • One-time download, unlimited use

Key Features

🔌

AI as a Device

Access AI through /dev/ai - works with any programming language. Bash, Python, Rust, Go - anything that can read/write files.

🏠

Local LLMs

Ships with TinyLlama 1.1B and SmolLM 135M. Runs on CPU, no GPU required. Completely offline.

80%+ Instant

ai-sh resolves most queries via templates without touching the LLM. File searches, system info, git commands - instant.

🔒

Air-Gap Ready

Designed for networks with no internet. No telemetry, no phone-home, no external calls. Ever.

🛡️

Command Safety

Every command is risk-assessed. Dangerous operations like rm -rf / are blocked. Moderate-risk commands require confirmation.

📖

Open Source

MIT licensed. Fully auditable. Inspect every line of code. Perfect for security-conscious enterprises.
