Looking for a Developer to Build an Offline Open Source AI Device

A developer is sought to build software for a dedicated offline AI hardware device that runs an open source AI model natively with no cloud dependencies, subscriptions, or usage limits. The project offers paid collaboration or purchase of an existing solution, targeting developers experienced with offline LLMs, embedded systems, or open source AI deployments.

Looking for a Developer to Build an Offline Open Source AI Device

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for an experienced developer or team to help build software for a dedicated AI hardware device.

The goal is to create an AI system that:

  • Runs entirely offline with no internet connection required.
  • Is based on a powerful open source AI model.
  • Can be encoded directly onto the hardware so it boots and operates natively from the device.
  • Has no artificial usage limits, subscriptions, or cloud dependencies.
  • Can be customised and expanded over time.

If you’ve already built something similar, I’d also be interested in purchasing an existing solution or collaborating to adapt it for my project. This is a paid opportunity for the right person or team.

If you have experience with offline LLMs, AI appliances, embedded systems, or open source AI deployments, I’d love to hear from you. Please send me details of your experience, GitHub projects, or examples of similar work. I don’t have the experience or skills to handle that, but there’s a #jobs-and-collaboration channel on the HF Discord. You might want to check that out, too.
