Hob launches as open-source on-device AI alternative

Original: Hob - Open-source, on device alternative to Claude Cowork and ChatGPT https:// github.com/FrigadeHQ/hob Comments: https:

Hob, an open-source tool that runs AI assistants directly on a user's device, has been released on GitHub by developer collective FrigadeHQ. The project is pitched as a local alternative to cloud-based assistants like Anthropic's Claude Cowork and OpenAI's ChatGPT. Early discussion is playing out on Hacker News, where users are weighing its privacy and offline appeal against the capabilities of the big commercial models.

Why now: Interest in running capable AI assistants locally without sending data to cloud providers is high right now.
