the power of intelligence is better in the hands of the people than in the board rooms of tycoons.

Hey [r/localllama](r/localllama). I wanted to share what's new with our open source PearlOS project since you all last saw (90 days ago). But first I want to give a massive thank you to this community, both your feedback and support were essential in getting us this far. We're now in the NVIDIA Inception Program which will help us massively in our longterm goal towards building a cutting edge Pearl model that can handles multimodal inputs and outputs and is still small enough to run on a consumer grade laptop. Lots of training ahead.

Our goal has always been to beat the private closed-source corporations with a really powerful open source swarm intelligence network that can't be beaten by any one single model. They took your public data, and now they want to paywall it and sell that intelligence back to you. We think that's a shit deal and aim to stop this trend before it's too late. The best way to do that is through free, open sourced intelligence models and platforms.

In this video you'll hear Steph from our team showing off our new "Agency." We use a ton of local models in our own swarm. Primarily DeepSeek v4 Pro as well as Kimi, GLM, Qwen, DeepSeek v4 Flash, and the usual private corporate models mixed in. We'll update our Github with this version of the OS within next day or so. This is a really intuitive way we're bringing the power of swarm intelligence to everyone.

Several times a day Pearl scans all the benchmarks and latest model releases and then chooses the top of the grade for the specific task. So models ranked high in legal get automatically spun up to work on a contract for example. Or models ranked high in code handle code. But the really cool thing is that when one of these private models like Codex or Claude nerf a model, the Agency just automatically switches to whatever is superior. No matter what you can always guarantee you're using a swarm of the latest market available and open-source models so you never have to stress you're on the wrong model because you read some post on here like "Does anyone else notice Model X is suddenly stupid today?" Plus it means the power goes into the hands of the users and NOT the companies who make you subscribe and then rug pull the brain out.

Pearl is still early access so expect many rough edges. Currently you can bring Pearl from outside her OS into your Telegram and Discord. Will be adding Slack, SMS and GoogleChat within the coming days. New agency and a bunch of other cool features are live on PearlOS.org so you can run your own cloud based Pearl. Or if you want fully local, sometime tomorrow we'll have the new updated code for the cloud one up on our Github in a day or so. Feel free to ask any questions. Cheers, MUCH more to come. Appreciate the patience and love and support... and thank you!
