About OpenFluke

Building AI you can own

OpenFluke is an independent lab founded by Samuel Watson, building open-source tools so artificial intelligence can run privately on everyday hardware, with no cloud, no lock-in, and no black box.

The founder

Samuel Watson

OpenFluke started from a simple need: portable, honest AI tooling that isn't a black box and doesn't send your data away. That idea grew into the Welvet engine, the Octo model app, the w2a proof harness, and released apps like SoulGlitch. Everything is built in Go, in the open.
