What is Open Interpreter and its first 01 Light AI Device?
Hey Everyone,
Can Open-source LLM innovation impact how the Machine Economy will unfold? I wrote a LinkedIn post you can check out here.
As we watch AI devices as well. A lot of interesting AI device demos this year:
Clearly this is more than just about an AI device here. We are talking about a more decentralized AI in the making.
What is Open Interpreter? Open Interpreter lets language models run code.
The 01 Light💫 is a portable voice interface that controls your home computer. It can see your screen, use your apps, and learn new skills. The 01 Light is a "voice interface for your home computer."
Everything runs locally, giving you peace of mind. It's also open-source and requires no technical knowledge.

I'm seeing some good reviews on Reddit, X, and LinkedIn ( Subham Kundu)
etc...

The device is $99 that taps into their hosted service. But also can control your own home computer.
It’s an open-source version of OpenAI’s Code Interpreter that works flawlessly.
Open Interpreter lets LLMs run code (Python, Javascript, Shell, and more) locally.
Killian is making a lot of Open-source things available in an 01 community. If you are a developer and want to work on this:

He wrote an 11-min Medium post on it.
On their docs page you read:
The 01 project is an open-source ecosystem for artificially intelligent devices.
By combining code-interpreting language models (“interpreters”) with speech recognition and voice synthesis, the 01’s flagship operating system (“01OS”) can power conversational, computer-operating AI devices similar to the Rabbit R1 or the Humane Pin.
We intend to become the “Linux” of this new space— open, modular, and free for personal or commercial use.
I find this concept very appealing in terms of decentralized-AI. Killian offers us to build our own devices with his range of tools. Again, very attractive for real innovation. Sort of like you wish OpenAI had done all along!
I imagine 01 Project might lead to some interesting Open-source device use cases. This discord is small so far but the demo trended on X a fair bit.
In 2024 I’m noticing more Voice and real-time agents with Generative AI.
Someone fund these people. This is a bit like an Alpha of a video game you buy just to support the developers and community.
Killian is oddly a fairly good Open-Source evangelist I find.
Though what does the community actually think of the 01 Light Device?
As of this article, it has nearly 44k stars on Github.
With Devin, Rabbit r1 and others, we’ve seen some fascinating AI devices and automation tools related to Generative AI, but Open Interpreter feels different. There’s an ideological pitch here that aligns well with Sovereign AI and Decentralized AI.
This is a pure play Open-source LM community being born here. And I don’t mean the Hugging Face kind.
This ain’t no AI pin or OpenAI product, actually it might be a lot more “open AI” than we’ve seen before.
There aren’t many YouTubes even about it yet but of course you would expect Matt Berman to have covered it (and indeed he has):
The device is in developer preview and with shipping should come out to $109.00 USD. I believe Killian is near Seattle.
Anyways if you are interested in Open-Source LMs at the intersection of a physical devices and with others building new use cases, you can follow them on X here:
