When to use it
โขYou need to deploy AI models on macOS devices without relying on cloud services.
โขYour application requires autonomous AI execution with persistent memory.
โขYou want a fully offline, open-source solution for running AI agents on macOS.
Quick start
1Clone the osaurus repository and navigate into the cloned directory.
2Build the osaurus project using Swift, following the instructions in the README.
3Configure your AI model and its parameters according to your needs.
4Start the osaurus server to begin running your autonomous AI model.
5Use the osaurus CLI to interact with and manage your AI agents.
Ready-to-paste prompt
Run `osaurus start --model my_model` to start an autonomous AI model named 'my_model' with osaurus.
Heads up: Ensure you have Xcode and the Swift compiler installed on your macOS, as osaurus is built in Swift and requires these tools to build and run.
