Australian sovereignty
Infrastructure owned and run in Australia, so Australian data, decisions and capability stay under Australian control.
Principles
What Open SI stands for
Superintelligence will shape how we work, learn and live. The infrastructure underneath it should be open, accountable and built for the people who rely on it.
Locally hosted AI
Models and services that run on local hardware, close to the people who use them, instead of being rented from overseas clouds.
Efficient, eco-friendly compute
Doing more with less. Lean software and careful use of hardware and energy, because efficiency is a design goal, not an afterthought.
Nobody left behind
Open by design, so communities, small businesses and individuals can share in the benefits, not just the biggest players.
The operating layer
The systems superintelligence runs on
Raw models are only part of the picture. Open SI focuses on the operating systems that superintelligence leverages: the layer that connects models, tools, data and hardware, and keeps them running reliably on infrastructure we control.
Open SI is founded by Brandan McMurtrie in Australia. It is an early project, and this page is the first step.
Roadmap
What is coming
Here is what we are working towards. Plans may change as the project grows.
- OpenOpen SI stack, documentedA clear write-up of the architecture and design principles, shared openly.
- LocalLocally hosted AI servicesServices running on Australian infrastructure, for people and organisations that need their data kept onshore.
- LeanEfficiency guides and toolingPractical ways to run capable AI on modest hardware with a smaller energy footprint.
- TogetherWays to get involvedEarly access, feedback and collaboration for anyone who wants to help build it.
No launch dates yet. If you want to hear when things are ready, get in touch.
