Announcing the launch of Kalea! Voice first. Local, private intelligence. She is built to be a tutor, elder companion, private intelligence, and to form agentic swarms. Sophisticated, simple to use right out of the box.

Midnight, the house asleep, one question. You text her from bed over BitChat, Bluetooth only, no internet, and she answers in text or out loud in the room. Your choice.

The Small Council: two to four small models get the same question, the fast brain judges, and one whole answer wins. No blending. Different small models fail differently, so the best one is a per-question event.

There's a folder on her desktop called Family History. Whoever sets her up fills it: the birthdays, the towns, the recipes, the dogs' names. Her dreams then dimensionalize.

Turn the black knob and she gets more spine. Mellow on the left, Full Moxie on the right. We named it Pluck.

A lesson can start with "Yesterday you wondered why submarines don't get crushed," because yesterday is on her desk and she read it and dreamt while she was idle.

Pluck is the black knob. Mellow on the left, Full Moxie on the right, Candid, Plucky, and Feisty between. It sets how much she pushes back on you. Turn it and the next response has more spine.

I’d keep one in my bathroom - the time to get ready in the morning is very under utilised for learning 😀

Thank you Jen! It’s one of those things that just simply needed to exist. @openkalea is all about making private and local cognition tactile. Warm. In the room.

Love how my friend @CodyAFriesen built this ultra analog, nerdy device for complete local AI - with Qwen, Gemma etc local models built-in, analog dials to adjust tones/styles, voice control + output. Personal data doesn’t not leave the device.
Perfect for schools or kids as home/desktop tutor. Love it! 😻

Her name means joy in Hawaiian and is said kah-LAY-ah. We wanted the name to say what she brings into a room

Four knobs and two sliders: five with five levels and one with thirty ages settings. That's 5^5 = 3,125 * 30 = 93,750 different system prompt combinations. All that with just a few simple knobs. It allows you to speak plainly to Kalea and get the right behavior.

The judge picks one answer; it doesn't blend them. Multi-Model Optimization allows very small local models to deliver more accurately.

Midnight, the house asleep, one question. You text her from bed over Bitchat, offline and yet connected.

Speech runs at about thirty bits a second. Measured as a wire, that's nothing. But words are each metaphors and our minds unpack meaning at the exact same pace. Speech is best for thinking, learning, exploring.
