    Why did the OP make a comment about the project like he was someone else?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47560380#47560381When it's clear he is one of the major contributors to the project?https://github.com/openyak/desktop/graphs/contributors

    I don’t get it. It says nothing leaves your computer, but it’s sending things to OpenRouter, not running models locally. Perhaps I am dumb (and I always feel dumb after reading an AI generated README for yet another AI tool Tbf)

    I've got the strong feeling that AI model and agent requires different operating system (OS) paradigm that's data centric rather than file-system for more efficient, effective and trustworthy operations. This new OS should work seamlessly with data natively across different processors for examples CPU, GPU, TPU, NPU, accelarators, etc.For working example, please check TabulaROSA (Tabular Operating System Architecture) proposed by the MIT team. Instead of normal OS system call, it utilizes data based operations with D4M that can work mathematically via associative array with structured or non-structered data [1],[2].With the advent of new CPU acceleration with fully homomorphic encryption as demonstrated by Intel, the AI model and agent can even analyze the data without even decrypting them [3],[4].[1] TabulaROSA: Tabular Operating System Architecture for Massively Parallel Heterogeneous Compute Engineshttps://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/126114[2] D4M: Dynamic Distributed Dimensional Data Model:https://d4m.mit.edu/[3] Intel Demos Chip to Compute with Encrypted Data (121 comments):https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47322815[4] Intel Demos Chip to Compute With Encrypted Data: Fully homomorphic encryption chip speeds operations 5,000-fold:https://spectrum.ieee.org/fhe-intel

    I still strongly believe every developer should be vibecoding their own cowork/openclaw/devinHere are the prompts I use for my AI environment, though it's changed a bunch since the last snapshothttps://github.com/rbren/personal-ai-devbox

    What's the difference between this and OpenWork which has existed for a while?
  • kvakkefly
    Nice! MacOS download link is a 404
  • systima
    How does this differ to Open Code Desktop?
  • SilverElfin
    What does “owns your filesystem” mean? That sounds dangerous.
  • Factor1177
    Anyone else getting a 404 when trying to download?
  • SomaticPirate
    Not to be too conspiratorial here but since the founder of OpenClaw was snatched up, there seems to be a rush of “open source” AI projects desperately bidding to be alternatives. Which can generate huge returns if one of the major players decides that “they also need a cowork-style product”So its uniquely viable to be a sellout here and attempt to clone a major lab’s attempt on the off-chance you get acquired later
  • Sathwickp
    A simpler version of openclaw?
  • zombot
    > owns your filesystemJust when I thought it couldn't get worse than OpenClaw, someone proposes this, in all seriousness. I see a stellar future for them at OpenAI.
  • the_real_cher
    So it's like open claw but you have to pay for it?
  • spiderfarmer
    I have used Cowork so much over the last couple of months and I have no reason to switch. But I’ll definitely give this a try.
