Different people will give you different reasons as to why HoloFuel going live is so momentous. I could give you a few answers, but for me, I asked myself years ago: if I could change one thing in the world, what would it be? In short, it was an asset-backed currency based on compute. Why? Learn about currency debasement. Ray Dalio gives a great explanation here: youtube.com/watch?v=xguam0TK… Why compute and not gold? It's something all of us use, even if indirectly. It doesn't need to be dug out of the ground and put in a vault. Then comes who knows if it's still in the vault. Wen For Knox audit? It's also oversold many times over. We have no idea how many pieces exist claiming gold. The whole system is covert and unverifiable. We need really verifiable, overt value flows. And that is where HoloFuel steps in. Why not Blockchain? With Blockchain, every transaction gets recorded and sent to every computer (node) in the network, which makes it really inefficient. HoloFuel is built on Holochain, which is cryptographically signed and verifiable like Blockchain, but architecturally completely different, where every transaction doesn't need to be on every node in the network. There's a lot more to it than that. It's hooked me so much that I spend 12+ hours most days developing with it. There are so many more reasons I could give myself, and there are so many other reasons that excite others about HoloFuel. But there's a shortish answer, as you asked @mbauwens

It's here!!! We just launched @YourOwnAI It's a free, open-source Windows, Mac and Linux desktop app that runs AI on your own computer. Your AIs, their personalities, their memories of you, and every conversation you have with them - all of it lives on your machine. With an offline model, nothing you type ever leaves your device. Not as a promise, but as something you can verify: the source is public. When building this, I always wanted to have online models for where offline models didn't cut it. This is the optional paid service of Your Own AI. If you want up-to-date info or frontier capabilities for coding, then the online models are there. But we did this in the most private way possible, with no private data sent and no logging of queries. So we get the best of open source and open privacy, but with the benefits of online models. All conversations are stored and encrypted using Holochain and can be backed up with Flowsta Vault. There are 2 routing modes: 1⃣ Offline only 2⃣ Offline and Online There is a lot of smarts in the routing. We list the automatic behind-the-scenes in the settings page, as well as provide settings to fine-tune the routing. There are a lot of memory functions running throughout Your Own AI. Both automatic and manually set. All made possible with the auditable Holochain transcripts. For coders, we forked Grok Build and made an optional project mode for agentic coding. It's pretty awesome. Your Own AI is extremely extensible. OpenAI-compatible endpoints for integrating into other apps or agents like Hermes or Open Claw. Hook up external AI systems like NVIDIA Spark and run it through the memory and routing. Create and edit as many different AIs as you like. Choose a personality or keep it neutral. Your choice. Something we strove for is to make it just run; then if you want to optimise how it runs, go into the settings. We also wanted to keep the original download lean. Even with Holochain, the download size is quite small. Then you can add optional components that download and install within the app to add the optional functionality. There's so much in this release. It will become clearer the more you use it, just how much is in it. We'll be sharing a lot more about it, but so excited to launch it. Download and start using it now @ yourownai.net/ It's free unless you use the optional online models.
