Summary
Autonomous is building a desktop 'Personal AI Computer' that runs DeepSeek V4-Flash on-premises: private and with no per-token cost. They say they will open-source the build on GitHub. It is an example of running a strong open model on local hardware.
Key points
- Goal: run DeepSeek V4-Flash on your desk, on-prem.
- Benefits: privacy and no per-token billing ('no token meter').
- The build is to be open-sourced at github.com/autonomous-ai/autonomous-computer.
