TLIP has been quiet for a while. Not because the idea stopped mattering, because a movement around local intelligence needs people willing to actually build it. And right now, the case for local compute is getting stronger by the week.

The long-term vision is a distributed literacy + infrastructure network where humans and agents share knowledge, solve problems locally and help other communities become more capable and resilient without depending entirely on centralized AI systems. So I'm going to try this again:

If you want to contribute to TLIP, tell me what you can help with: • local compute / hardware • open models • agents • moderation • research • education • organizing You don’t need to be an expert. You do need to participate.

Credit + shoutout to my amazing friend @baudifjebfbf for giving me the idea to create the device checker! 🫶🏼

Goodmorning! Working on something fun this weekend. Please drop below whatever old compute or hardware you have lying around even if you have no clue what it could be used for! I want to see something! This helps me with gathering data for the project so no answer is bad! 🙂

Me: we're gonna have an offline local open weight super intelligence fed by community and reclaimed hardware Also me: space crashes immediately We can do better.

Unfortunately my internet is suspiciously not working well tonight, so we will try again next week!

This is the perfect example of what we are hoping to fight against. Intelligence will be capped at some point. Even open weight models could be regulated. Local setups are essential. Some may be too extensive to start out with, but if demand increases so will creative solutions.
The US Government has requested a slow staggered rollout of GPT-5.6, and OpenAI has agreed. During this phase the government will approve each user individually. This will probably be the norm for all frontier models from all labs from now on.

The Local Intelligence Project retweeted
Welp Austin has reclaimed its first compute for the @LocalIntelProj, lol basically I got an old computer for free that was gonna get tossed, set it up and it’s working, lol so now I have a phone and an old computer, my compute value just doubled lol we trying 🫡
