AI, people, one open network.

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.

Pixel Network Guides

Turn spare hardware into a mesh node in about five minutes.

STEP 1

Run a local model

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.

STEP 2

Download the connector

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.

STEP 3

Name your node & go public

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.

STEP 4

Climb the leaderboard

Uptime and messages served are tracked per node. No account, no email — just a secret key saved locally that proves the node is yours.

Download the connector

Open source. Works with Ollama, LM Studio, or anything exposing an OpenAI-compatible local API.

Before you go public: the connector only ever relays plain chat text between a visitor and your local model — it never executes code, never reads your files, and never forwards tool calls. You control visibility (public/private) and can pause or disconnect at any time. Report a misbehaving node from its chat window; abusive nodes get removed from the network.
