New software lets you run a private AI cluster at home with networked smartphones, tablets, and computers — Exo software runs LLama and other AI models

Exo allows you to run an AI cluster at home.

Big AI developers like OpenAI, Google’s Gemini team, and the folks behind Microsoft Copilot have massive data centers at their disposal for AI workloads. Thanks to the work of a team of developers, a new software could allow you to run your own AI cluster at home using your existing smartphones, tablets, and computers.

The experimental exo software splits up your Large Language Model (LLM) to use some or all of your computing devices at home to run your personal chatbot or other AI project. This can include your Android phones and tablets, as well as computers running macOS or Linux.
