OpenFluke
AI that runs on your device,
not someone else's cloud.
Tools for artificial intelligence that stay private, offline, and free
on the computers and phones you already own. No accounts. No subscriptions. No data leaving your machine.

Who we are
An independent lab for private, on-device AI
Most AI lives in someone else's data center. You rent it, and everything you type gets sent away.
OpenFluke builds the opposite: intelligence that stays on your own hardware ,
open source, and yours to inspect.
🔒
Works offline
Run AI with the internet switched off. No API keys, no sign-ups, and nothing you do gets uploaded.
💻
Runs anywhere
The same engine works on a laptop, a phone, or in a browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android.
🔎
Open and honest
Free, open-source code with results you can verify. We publish proof that it works, not just claims.
What we build
Three parts, one idea
Welvet is the engine, Octo is the app you drive with,
and w2a is the inspection that proves the engine is safe.
🧠
The engine
Welvet
A from-scratch AI engine in Go that trains and runs neural networks on ordinary hardware.
No special chips. No cloud. The foundation everything else is built on.
