Today marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of artificial intelligence. We’re not just launching a platform—we’re igniting a movement. OpenAGI represents our collective commitment to democratizing artificial general intelligence and ensuring its benefits reach every corner of humanity.
The Vision: AGI for All
As Yann LeCun (@ylecun) wisely stated: “The path to AGI will be paved by open-source contributions. No single company can solve this alone.”
This isn’t just philosophy—it’s our blueprint. OpenAGI was born from the belief that the most transformative technology of our time should not be gatekept by a select few, but shared freely with everyone.
What We’re Building
OpenAGI is more than a project—it’s an ecosystem designed to accelerate humanity’s journey toward beneficial AGI:
🌐 OpenAGI.AI — The Platform
Your personal AI assistant that runs on your infrastructure. No cloud dependency. No data sharing. Full control.
- Self-hosted: Run on your laptop, homelab, or VPS
- Multi-channel: WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Slack, and more
- Privacy-first: Your data never leaves your machine
- Open-source: Built by the community, for the community
🏛️ OpenAGI.foundation — The Movement
A non-profit foundation dedicated to:
- Advancing open-source AGI research
- Establishing ethical AI governance frameworks
- Providing grants to independent researchers
- Fostering global collaboration on safe AGI development
🤖 OpenAGI.bot — The Future
Autonomous agents that work seamlessly across platforms, learning and adapting to serve humanity’s collective goals while respecting individual sovereignty.
Why Open Source AGI Matters
Sam Altman (@sama) captured it perfectly: “Open source AI is democratizing access to powerful models. We’re witnessing a fundamental shift in how AI development happens - from closed labs to global collaboration.”
The stakes are too high for AGI to be developed behind closed doors. As Gary Marcus (@GaryMarcus) warns: “We need AGI to be developed in the open. The stakes are too high for this to happen behind closed doors.”
The Power of Community
Our community isn’t just using AI—they’re shaping its future:
- Jeremy Howard (@jeremyphoward): “The future of AI is open. Closed models will struggle to compete with the pace of community innovation.”
- David Ha (@hardmaru): “Open source AI frameworks are the future. Community-driven innovation is outpacing corporate development in many areas.”
- Santiago (@svpino): “Open-source AI is democratizing innovation. Anyone with an idea can now build sophisticated AI applications.”
The Progress Is Real
Andrej Karpathy (@karpathy) reminds us: “We’re not at AGI yet, but the rate of progress is extraordinary. Models are becoming more capable every month.”
And Jim Fan (@DrJimFan) adds: “AGI isn’t just about raw intelligence - it’s about systems that can truly understand and adapt. We’re getting closer.”
We’re bridging the gap between research and reality:
- Ethan Mollick (@emollick): “The combination of powerful open-source models and agentic workflows is game-changing for developers.”
- Andrew N. Carr (@andrew_n_carr): “Open source AI agents are bridging the gap between research and real-world applications.”
True Personal AI
Pieter Levels (@levelsio) envisions: “Personal AI assistants running on your own infrastructure - that’s the vision of truly personal AI. No data sharing, full control.”
This is what OpenAGI delivers today. As David Heinemeier Hansson (@dhh) puts it: “AI that works for you, not for advertisers. That’s the promise of self-hosted, open-source solutions.”
Benedict Evans (@benedictevans) explains why this matters: “The real productivity gains from AI come when it’s integrated into your personal workflows, not just accessed through a web interface.”
Transparency Breeds Innovation
Max Woolf (@minimaxir) nails it: “The most exciting AI developments are happening in open source. Transparency breeds innovation.”
And Weights & Biases (@weights_biases) adds: “The open-source AI community is building tools that empower individuals, not just enterprises.”
Our Commitment
We’re building OpenAGI on three foundational principles:
1. Universal Access
Every person deserves access to cutting-edge AI, regardless of economic status or geographic location.
2. Radical Transparency
Our code, our research, our failures, and our successes—all open for the world to see, use, and improve.
3. Human-Centric Design
Technology should serve humanity, not the other way around. AGI must augment human potential while respecting privacy and autonomy.

The Road Ahead
We’re at the beginning of an extraordinary journey. The path to AGI will be paved not by secretive labs or profit-maximizing corporations, but by a global community united in purpose.
OpenAGI is our commitment to that future—a future where artificial general intelligence amplifies human creativity, solves humanity’s greatest challenges, and remains forever open to all.
The future of AGI is open. The future of AGI is ours to build. Together.
