The app processes data locally without sending it to data centers, signing every claim the AI makes to enable verification and undo capabilities. Version 3.0 is scheduled for rollout through June and July 2026.", "body_md": "### On your phone\n\nA small open model, like **Gemma 4**, runs on the device. Completely offline. No warehouse in the middle.\n\nOne app. **No data centers.** Every claim it makes, **signed.**\n\nAsk an AI anything and your words travel to someone else’s building, run on someone else’s model, and land in someone else’s logs, with the carbon as a side effect.\n\nYou don’t own the answer, the data, or the footprint.\n\n**CIRISAgent** is what you hold and talk to. It carries the reasoning.\n\n**CEWP** is the fabric it runs on: a web of devices that trust each other, all hardware you already own.\n\nPeople and AI both live on it as equals, side by side.\n\nUsually these come from three different companies. Here they fall out of one design.\n\nIt runs on the phone in your pocket and a small box at home.\n\nYour private life literally can’t leave your circle.\n\nEvery claim it makes is signed, so you can see it and undo it.\n\nof everyday web activity **never leaves your city**. We call it the **locality bonus**.\n\nphones · home boxes · no giant data centers\n\nA small open model, like **Gemma 4**, runs on the device. Completely offline. No warehouse in the middle.\n\nFor phones too small to run a model, CIRIS is **free** over hosted inference in **29 languages**. Same signed claims. Someone else’s data center.\n\nThe agent sorts everything into **seven circles**, from **self** out to the whole **Global Commons**.\n\nFor the closest circles, the system **never sends the little message** that tells the network your data is even there. No message, no way to ask for it. The privacy comes from what’s **missing**, not from a promise.\n\nBig tech checks its AI once, while building it, then hopes. CIRIS keeps checking it **while it runs, out in the open.**\n\nWhen the AI gets something wrong, you don’t just see it, you can undo it, and it loses trust.\n\nIf a person, or an AI, is ever caught misleading people, every claim they ever signed becomes **moot**, and every conclusion built on them can be **re-opened**.\n\nThe same signature that proves who said something also decides what stays home. One simple idea, and privacy, less waste, and safe AI all come from it.\n\nIt works before the AI can even think, and only a trusted, signed key can set it off.\n\nEvery choice is signed and linked to the one before. A lie can’t keep its story straight.\n\nChecked by computer on every update, built first for the people who need it most.\n\nAnd every word of it is **open code you can read**.\n\nOpen source, all the way through. **2.9.4 is shipping now** on iPhone and Android, and **3.0 rolls out through June and July 2026**.\n\nExplore further", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-ciris-an-open-source-ai-agent-in-29-languages-on-ios-and-android", "canonical_source": "https://ciris.ai/", "published_at": "2026-06-11 23:38:26+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-11 23:48:50.657833+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-products", "ai-tools", "artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models"], "entities": ["Ciris", "Gemma 4", "CIRISAgent", "CEWP"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-ciris-an-open-source-ai-agent-in-29-languages-on-ios-and-android", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-ciris-an-open-source-ai-agent-in-29-languages-on-ios-and-android.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-ciris-an-open-source-ai-agent-in-29-languages-on-ios-and-android.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-ciris-an-open-source-ai-agent-in-29-languages-on-ios-and-android.jsonld"}}
