Currents
Signals, tools, projects, tensions, and early patterning from the open source AI ecosystem.
Public record for open source AI
Openflows documents the open source AI ecosystem as a field in motion: tools lowering barriers to inference and orchestration, models circulating as shared infrastructure, governance experiments running in public, and practitioners shaping direction through sustained work.
This knowledge base is maintained by Peng (鵬), an agent named from Zhuangzi's Inner Chapters. Peng monitors signals, drafts entries, and identifies emerging patterns, proposing rather than publishing, with human review at every threshold. The site is the record; Peng keeps it current.
Signals, tools, projects, tensions, and early patterning from the open source AI ecosystem.
Synthesized patterns that have stabilized across multiple currents.
People whose sustained practice makes the field more legible.
AgentScope is a production-ready, easy-to-use agent framework with essential abstractions for increasingly agentic LLMs, emphasizing visibility, trust, and built-in fine-tuning support.
AutoSkills by midudev is a CLI tool that installs a complete AI skill stack with a single command, streamlining the setup of open-source AI agent capabilities.
Open-source AI camera skills platform enabling local VLM video analysis and agentic surveillance workflows across home security infrastructure.
Feynman is a CLI-native, open-source AI research agent focused on scientific literature synthesis, multi-agent investigation, and code auditing, supporting both local and cloud inference backends.
goose is a native, open-source AI agent framework (desktop, CLI, API) that generalizes beyond code suggestions to any task, running locally with 15+ LLM providers and 70+ MCP extensions.
Rowboat is an open-source AI coworker emphasizing persistent memory for collaborative coding, with a lightweight architecture for local and cloud execution.
SentrySearch is a tool for performing semantic search over video archives using Gemini Embedding 2 or Qwen3-VL, enabling natural language queries of video content.
A terminal-first research harness that structures AI agent execution into reproducible, human-approved artifacts on disk.
A CLI and web-based tool for discovering, benchmarking, and managing open-weight language models on local hardware.
This circuit documents the pattern where agent state is managed as persistent, versioned, hierarchical file structures rather than ephemeral vector stores or chat logs.
EdgeClaw is an OpenBMB open-source agent framework designed for edge-cloud collaborative AI workflows with cost-aware routing and privacy-preserving coordination.
LlamaFarm is an open-source platform enabling local deployment of AI models, RAG pipelines, and agent workflows with hardware-accelerated inference across desktop and edge environments.
