The AI that closes to you.

We are not a mirror of Open AI—we are its counterpoint.

As artificial intelligence morphs into black‑box APIs, costly subscriptions, and uncontrollable cloud hegemony, we choose the opposite path:

• Close the cloud dependency—put AI back on your hardware.
• Close data leaks—make every inference truly local.
• Close the capital narrative—return control to the developers.

CloseAI-ai is not anti‑AI; it is anti‑“AI privilege.” We believe:

True open source means anyone can close it, and anyone can reopen it.

• Every line of code is reviewable; every weight is traceable.
• We reject “open‑source shell, closed‑source core”—all models, training scripts, and inference engines are fully transparent.
• Permissive licenses (MIT / Apache 2.0) mean commercial freedom, no hidden strings.

• Your data never leaves your device. No telemetry, no phone‑home, no uploads.
• We optimise for CPUs and edge devices—AI becomes a portable tool, not a cloud tenant.
• Motto: Run once, run everywhere, run forever.

• No outside capital, no shareholder roadmap.
• Major decisions are made through public RFCs and community votes.
• Contributors are ranked by problems solved, not lines of code.
• We are open to PRs, not to privileges.

• “Close” does not mean exclusion—it means closed loops: data loops, value loops, accountability loops.
• We mock closedness, but never attack peers with malice; we prove our stance with code, not slogans.
• Every commit is a serious vote for AI democratisation.

• We will never change the license of any released weight.
• We will never add mandatory online checks.
• We will never charge runtime fees (API or subscription).
• We will never collect user usage data.
• We will never quietly “tune” models to favour commercial partners.
• We will never delete historical versions (all Git history remains).

If you are tired of AI’s “black‑box luxury,” welcome to CloseAI-ai—where we open a different door.

• All repos are open for Issues and PRs.
• Major directions are decided by the community.
• Your local device is the best cloud.

One last note to our peers: “We close the loop, so you can open the future.”
