Building lately (the week of Oct 26)

🔨 moonstone · Moonstone got a native Mac app that takes Finder drops, photo and file attachments, and an auto updater.

🔨 infinite-kitchen-pod · Published Infinite Kitchen Pod, an open hardware robotic kitchen concept with a site, specs and investor brochure.

🔨 browser-agent · Moved the browser broker into browser-agent and wrote site recipes for filling web forms from hidden tabs.

🔨 claude-code-local · When Claude hits a usage limit, claude-code-local now hands off to a free or local model.

🔨 story-forge · Story Forge got a promo mode that turns a project folder into a product film with one command.

🐔 Something was eating my chickens. That is the whole origin story.

🌙 Protecting them needed a camera that could see at night.

🤖 That needed a vision model small enough to live on a robot.

💻 That needed AI running on my own hardware instead of somebody else's cloud.

📷 That became RealTime AI Cam: it names 601 objects, fully offline.

🦯 Along the way it turned out to help blind people see, with no internet.

🌱 Next: a robot that grows food. · The bigger idea: robots that give people back what they have lost.

Dozens of repos later I am somehow doing neuroscience, and every one of them still traces back to the coop.

👁️ The model that does the describing · Vision Narrator 0.8B is RealTime AI Cam's describer, and it's my own model, on Hugging Face.

A LoRA fine-tune of Qwen3.5-0.8B · Taught by a 27B teacher.

Trained on VizWiz · Photos taken by blind people (CC BY 4.0). About a dozen versions over one month.

Blind Android Users podcast · I'm a guest, Saturday, Oct 24, 2026.

🖥️ Trinidad Head · My own terminal, built from scratch for Windows and Mac. Glass windows with a neon glow A different color for every open window Your own questions easy to spot when you scroll back through an AI chat

👁️ nemotron-omni-mlx · NVIDIA's Nemotron Omni sees, hears, and reasons. Its vision and audio towers had no open runtime for Apple Silicon. So I wrote one.

⚡ The numbers · 23/23 parity tests against NVIDIA's PyTorch reference 67.7 tok/s with an image, end to end 110.5 tok/s with audio, end to end On an M5 Max, wifi off

🔗 Trinidad Head · project page · nemotron-omni-mlx · Credit to NVIDIA for the open weights and yayr for the 4-bit conversion.

🧩 Most of these repos look standalone. They're not. They're one system spread across three machines that talk to each other 24/7.

💡 The idea · Apple Silicon is fast enough now that the everyday AI I want does not need a cloud subscription. Build local-first, stay useful when the internet goes down.

🔒 Airgap-ready · The same stack is airgap-ready, which matters to the law / medical / compliance-sensitive firms I work with through Nice Dreamz LLC.

M5 Max MacBook Pro · 128 GB · Heavy compute: model inference, video, image, training.

M4 Mac mini · 64 GB · Always-on workhorse: autonomous agents, FiaOS web shell, free Claude for the whole mesh.

Hostinger VPS · Public gateway: HQ Dashboard, the Ohm chat agent, sites, cron.

🔒 AirGap is my name for the full private-AI build. A complete AI workstation on one Mac, wifi off, nothing leaving the building.

🧠 Claude Code Local · Run Claude Code 100% on-device on Apple Silicon. Current lineup led by Qwen 3.8 27B and Gemma 4 31B, four modes (code, browser, voice, phone), Anthropic-compatible MLX server, setup.sh picks the right model for your RAM. Your code never leaves your Mac. Featured in Awesome Claude Code.

🤝 Browser Broker · One logged-in browser, many agents, nobody fights. Leases each agent an ordinary background tab in your real browser, with your real logins, and every agent sees only its own. ~300 lines, one dependency. Verified on Linux by a stranger who then found a bug in my own docs.

📷 RealTimeAICam · The biggest free open-vocabulary detector that fits on an iPhone: 601 classes, OCR, LiDAR depth, all on-device. The seed of the robot's vision stack.

🌐 Browser Agent · Local MLX models driving Chrome via DevTools Protocol. Handles what other agents can't: cross-origin iframes, Shadow DOM, ProseMirror.

📱 Claude → Phone · Control Claude Code from your iPhone via iMessage. Commands by text; screenshots, recordings, and YES / NO / YES_TO_ALL approval buttons come back.

🎬 story-forge · A whole film studio on one laptop. A director keeps going until every shot passes a local vision judge, then cuts, scores and voices the film. Two finished films, no cloud.

🌱 Here's where all of this is headed. You hand a robot a bag of seeds, show it where the hose is, and a few months later there are vegetables on the table.

🏘️ Now picture a village · Now picture dropping two of them in a village where people are hungry and there's no signal for a hundred miles. They dig the well, plant the rows, and bring in the harvest.

That's the science fiction story I'm building toward, and I think we're closer to it than most people realize.

RealTime AI Cam is the eyes · A vision model that runs fully offline on a phone, and along the way it turned out to help blind people see.

Claude Code Local is the brain · The brain without a cloud.

The Cemani robot is the first body · Started with protecting my chickens from predators. Now a 1 kW autonomous tank robot you text from your phone: 601-class vision on a Jetson, dual PTZ cameras, 3D LIDAR, and it pulls a cart of firewood. Actually.

🧱 The honest goal · A Lego-clip-in modular robotics kit running the same local-AI brain as the desk. VisionBuilder trains its eyes from photos on my phone.

🦿 Also on the bench: Run + Sit Exo · A powered knee exoskeleton design I'm working on. It's a design and prototype, not a finished product.

5,000+ units shipped

⚙️ All automated by the mesh above · Divine Tribe sells vaporizer hardware. It pays the bills; everything else is downstream.

5,000+ units shipped

🛒 Divine Tribe · 🏬 three more stores

I run Divine Tribe · Vaporizer hardware, since 2013. HQ, the AI system I built, runs the shop side. Everything else is downstream of paying the bills.

Nice Dreamz LLC · The umbrella on top.

Cannabis Device Safety Institute · I'm also building it in parallel, a standards body for cannabis-consumption hardware.

AirGap AI · What a full private-AI build looks like for the kind of firm that cannot put its data into a cloud chatbot. It's a capability I maintain, not a product I'm pushing. The three-node mesh is the demo: it's been my daily driver for a year and a half.

The long arc is the robot. · Same eyes, different bodies.

🌙 Still figuring it out. No investors. One MacBook, one Mac mini, one VPS, and a lot of late nights.
