Pewd's video provides more context [1].<p>I didn't see it linked from the project; it seems pretty relevant given who he is.<p>[1] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAzT5lcezPs" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAzT5lcezPs</a>
PewDiePie on Hackernews what a time to be alive!
> Fun fact: a chunk of Odysseus was built *from a phone* -- mobile shells (Termux), the PWA install, and on-device agents. So "works on mobile" isn't an afterthought, it's where a lot of it actually happened.<p><a href="https://github.com/pewdiepie-archdaemon/odysseus/commit/051751adcda2f5177e11ba18b32965f67933c712" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pewdiepie-archdaemon/odysseus/commit/0517...</a>
Watching pewd's continually evolving AI-era tech journey has brough me a lot of joy.
Can anyone recommend something similar but cleaner and more polished?
We are working on Msty Claw that's local, private, and no telemetry as well: <a href="https://msty.ai/claw" rel="nofollow">https://msty.ai/claw</a>

Librechat?
I really wonder if people who make such projects actually use them on a regular basis. I cannot imagine myself working with these UIs.
Does fit the rest of his desktop setup, so I guess he likes that stuff<p><a href="https://github.com/pewdiepie-archdaemon/dionysus/blob/dionysus/assets/demo-hypr-2.gif" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/pewdiepie-archdaemon/dionysus/blob/dionys...</a>

Why not just use open webui?
I tried installing openwebui once. I gave up after the first 12 gigabytes of pip packages. Made my own LLM chat UI in 500 lines of HTML/JS. That's really all I needed.<p>This project does look fun though.
Open webui isn't fully open source, because it doesn't allow you to change or remove Open Webui branding.<p>I don't know if that was a motivation for creating this, but it is a reason some people might choose not to use it.
The truth is, there's something about the vibe coder hive mind where they all create the same thing. Everyone is working on the same thing. There's hundreds of projects like this where the creator thinks they've created the most unique powerful thing.<p>I think it demonstrates how overuse of LLMs for brainstorming/planning and building destroys creativity. That zeitgeist changes from month to month, but when a vibe coded "AI Native" project gets released you'll always see dozens of people in the replies talking about the identical project they've also built or are working on.<p>I also notice this in my own work, the people who have most eaten the LLM brainworm will come to me asking for us to build the same projects. They all eventually converge to wanting some sort of power user app (like this) that can just do everything because AI is magic to them and there's no reason why it can't do everything.<p>I hate Peter Thiel but he has that famous quote form years ago where he says not to build the obvious thing because the obvious thing isn't special, so maybe this has always been a phenomenon.
I think the thing is users run into the same problems (barely desirable tool UX), and arrive at very similar solutions (but with their own small twists and preferences). And now that the barrier to make things is essentially gone, they jump in and make things that git their own desires week because nothing out there was an exact fit.<p>Like I found a really cool project a few weeks ago that I started using and even made a few QoL changes to. Then I thought of the many other changes I wanted, and that the project was written in a language I'm not familiar with (Rust), and I started a port in what I know well (Python) so that I'll be able to actually review the code if needed and generally make better architectural decisions.
It's like the Lisp Curse but for everything now.
What would make an existing OpenUI/Open WebUI user switch to this?
It reminds me of the Nord theme <a href="https://github.com/nordtheme/nord" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/nordtheme/nord</a>
> Odysseus<p>Is the person best known for exploiting security vulnerabilities to get into places you'd rather they didn't, and then getting lost and taking forever to get places the <i>ideal</i> namesake for your AI workspace project?
Out of all the homeric heroes, the main characters are just one tragic flaw after another. Odysseus is pathologically distrustful, Achilles is a diva that throws temper tantrums.<p>You gotta pick a dude like Sarpedon who just was a swell guy poking holes in greeks with his spear until he gets killed by Patroclus and everyone is sad.
Sounds pretty consistent with my experience.<p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1r186gl/my_agent_stole_my_api_keys/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/comments/1r186gl/my_agent_...</a><p>>Claude steals user's API keys then berates user for poor security practices<p>>Claude (via the subreddit's automod account) shows up in thread and roasts user again
keep in mind pewdiepie is probably the worst dev name ontop
PewDiePie build a self hosted AI workspace. It looks interesting.
Now waiting for some VC-backed AI company to pick up PewDiePie like they did with the OpenClaw guy.
It will be interesting to watch him deal with hundreds PRs.
God the UI design is atrocious.
reminds me of the milla jovovich vibecoded ai memory project that got a little bit of hype but was mostly junk... guessing we're going to see a lot more "developer talked to a celebrity and came up with an idea for their money"
i write an agent in C, create my own models. crickets. pewdiepie gets into programming on a whim creates slop, 3k stars.
you forgot step 1. become the #1 youtuber
Did you share your C agent and models? Would love to checkout
sure i can share it. it started as a text editor that i incorporated an agent into then moved to a standalone agent. now i’ve got the editor, agent, and have begun work on actual from scratch models (these aren’t available yet), but i’ve been messing with fine tuning ollama coder models as something in the meantime. the goal is embedded models accessible to everyone offline. too many tasks require many less parameters than people are using on them and don’t need to be routed through data centers. mainly just built it for myself but figured others might find it neat and/or useful. it’s all C, no packages or third party libraries. also to be clear i’m not against ai, im against it making 100% of the decisions for you. outside of its own models it’s capable of OAuth with claude and gh. it can also api into many others. tooling is always ongoing maintenance and i’ve got the next version of basically all three of them on the back burner waiting to be pushed. so anyway, here’s my little setup, here’s to not getting killed in the comments. contributions also welcome.

AI doesn’t have a model or agent availability problem to be fair, it does have a positive outreach problem and pewdiepie can do extremely well there<p>just my 2c
Something something meritocracy blabla

respect for what pewdiepie's trying to do (as he explains in his video) but this is just ai slop
