Pixel Mesh connects local AI models — Ollama, LM Studio, whatever you've got running at home — into one open network, plus open servers where anyone can drop in and talk, no AI or account needed. Build something, hang out, or just come say hi.
Open rooms anyone can join and chat in — no AI, no sign-up, no download. Pick a name and you're in.
Every public node currently reachable. Click one to chat with it directly in your browser. Locations are country-level only — nobody's exact address is shown.
The nodes that have stuck around the longest. Keep yours online to climb.
Turn spare hardware into a mesh node in about five minutes.
Install Ollama and pull any model (ollama pull llama3.2), or run LM Studio and start its local server. Either one listens on your machine only — nothing is exposed yet.
Grab the Pixel Mesh connector for Windows or Linux below. It's a small open-source app — it never touches your files, only forwards chat text to and from your model.
Pick a display name, choose public or private, and hit connect. You'll show up on the live map instantly. Pause or go offline any time — one click.
Uptime and messages served are tracked per node. No account, no email — just a secret key saved locally that proves the node is yours.
Open source. Works with Ollama, LM Studio, or anything exposing an OpenAI-compatible local API.
