๐จ Founders: free, private, 100% local AI is finally here
I downloaded Qwen 3.6 and ran it on my MacBook inside Strawberry browser.
I couldn't believe it.
We now have 100% free and private AI that is on par with the best models from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google. (see video!)
The CTO of Hugging Face called this "the second revolution of AI." He's right.
If you are a building an AI product, you HAVE to start thinking about how you can leverage open source models in your product.
It's only a matter of time until local models are mainstream and can run on most people's devices.
LLMs are commoditizing.
The human brain only requires a AAA battery's worth of energy to run. If biology figured out efficient intelligence, software can too.
Maybe we won't need artificial super intelligence and thousands of data centres to do most economically valuable work. Maybe there's a future where AI agents just run on your laptop, fine-tuned to you, fully owned by you, costing only what your energy bill costs.
In this future, it's all about building the most delightful, intuitive experience. We've been building for exactly this moment.
Stay tuned.

Really excited for this one! We have been using routines internally for a minute and it can really change how you work. Let us know what you end up automating! ๐
I'll be speaking at AI-India this year! I've spoken at ng-India twice. Excited to be back at my favorite conference!
I'll be presenting on WebMCP: any web app can expose AI-callable tools with just a few lines of JavaScript, running client-side.

One engineer rewrote 130,000 lines of our browser's frontend from React to Svelte in two weeks using coding agents. It made the browser 2x faster.
Here's how we did it ๐งต

Each new Strawberry user gets their very own personal AI companion.
And they all just got a lot better at spreadsheets. Here's what they do:
โ Pull data from any website directly into your spreadsheet
โ Clean and restructure messy tables with a single prompt
โ Populate hundreds of rows automatically
โ Create graphs and tables with proper formulas
Works across Google Sheets and Excel on OneDrive.
