Brian Roemmele announced on June 26, 2026 a free guide and companion app to enable ordinary users to stop relying on Anthropic and OpenAI and run capable free AI models locally on most modern machines; the guide promises model recommendations tailored to hardware and hints at making models that Dario Amodei opposed available to users.
On 2026-06-26, @BrianRoemmele announced a free guide to help users leave Anthropic and OpenAI and run “good enough” free AI models locally on most modern computers.
AI INDEPENDENCE DAY!
I will be writing a free guide for just about anyone to leave Anthropic and OpenAI and to have free good enough AI models running locally on just about any modern computer.
Soon you will have access to the AI models Dario did not want you to have. It was scary for him.
It will also have an app that will suggest the best latest models for your hardware.
DECLARE YOUR INDEPENDENCE DAY!
