Static project home · Download 7.3 · Preserved ZMath app
The project home is free static hosting. It is not an inference server or a required node; your runtime operates independently after setup.
OpenZero combines local model chat, a browser workspace, an OpenAI-compatible API, durable automation runs, local knowledge and learning, source-improvement candidates, and optional adapter training. Your node runs on your own Linux machine or server. There is no required TalkToAI server, central registration, main node, or company-hosted database.

- Fresh installations use a local endpoint, an empty remote Hive endpoint, local mode, and sharing disabled.
- Upgrades remove exact retired owner-service defaults, preserving explicit user-owned endpoints and existing private state.
- Installers, checksums and runtime ZIPs come from versioned GitHub release assets. Mirrors can be operator-selected; GitHub is a distribution host, not an inference or federation coordinator.
- Tab Pilot 0.3.1 is distributed as a verified GitHub ZIP. Linux and Windows helpers prepare it for explicit Load unpacked approval, without forcing a browser policy or depending on an owner-hosted extension update service.
- The 7.2 improvement workspace remains: editable candidates, diffs, recorded checks, digest-bound apply and rollback; small adapter fixtures and optional local PEFT training do not automatically replace inference weights.
| Capability | Local implementation |
|---|---|
| Chat and models | Ollama routing, Ministral 8B runtime-template default, Gemma fallback, CPU profiles |
| Coding and tools | Files, bounded commands, archives, web reading, configured search, SSH tools |
| Durable runs | Checkpoints, budgets, stop/revoke, restart recovery, exact-action confirmations |
| API | Local OpenAI-compatible /v1/chat/completions with hashed machine keys |
| Browser control | Optional per-tab Tab Pilot grants and visible approval/stop controls |
| Knowledge | Local learning and operator-selected sharing; no mandatory remote catalogue |
| Source improvement | Separate source candidates, checks, reviewed apply and rollback |
| Training | Synthetic CPU fixture and optional LoRA/PEFT jobs with held-out evaluation |
| Voice | Optional local Piper/Voicebox; optional transcription dependencies |
| Offline operation | Bundle code, dependencies and models before disconnecting |
Models and software dependencies require downloads during online installation. Optional web search, cloud APIs, remote models and operator-selected federation need their respective external services. Local inference is not distributed training, peer-to-peer GPU pooling or a guarantee of AGI.
On a Linux machine you administer, review the script before running:
mkdir -p openzero-bootstrap && cd openzero-bootstrap
curl -fL https://github.com/ResearchForumOnline/OpenZero/releases/download/v7.3.0/install.sh -o install.sh
curl -fL https://github.com/ResearchForumOnline/OpenZero/releases/download/v7.3.0/install.sh.sha256 -o install.sh.sha256
sha256sum -c install.sh.sha256
less install.sh
bash install.sh --desktopFor a headless node use --server --no-tab-pilot; --skip-model avoids the
large default-model download. The runtime archive is separately verified before
unpacking. A checksum detects corrupt/mismatched assets; it is not a detached
publisher signature. The default runtime and extension assets are pinned to
v7.3.0 so newer release assets cannot silently change this installer.
Open the panel at http://localhost:1024. Keep it on loopback, or access your own remote node through an SSH tunnel/VPN. Never put private tokens into GitHub.
For a pre-7.3 installation, use the verified installer above with --dir set
to its existing path. This replaces the updater that previously depended on
the retired owner host. Once updated, use the local updater:
cd ~/openzero
bash update.sh --server --no-tab-pilotThe updater retrieves the latest installer and its checksum from GitHub.
OPENZERO_INSTALLER_BASE_URL selects your own installer mirror;
OPENZERO_RELEASE_BASE_URL selects your own runtime/extension asset mirror.
The mirror must provide the same filenames and matching checksum files.
For source development, clone this repository, create a Python virtual
environment, install openzero/requirements.txt, and run openzero/run_brain.sh.

The extension plans through your own loopback node; a remote node needs your own SSH tunnel. Generate a scoped token in the local panel and enter it in extension Options. Browser approval remains required. Existing managed installs are not automatically uninstalled; their old policy should be removed by their administrator before moving to the unpacked package.
The default is
OpenZero Ministral3 8B Runtime Agent
through Ollama as
hf.co/shafire/OpenZero-Ministral3-8B-Runtime-Agent-GGUF:Q5_K_M.
It uses unchanged upstream weights with an OpenZero runtime template.
Gemma — Compatibility fallback,
model guide,
research archive, and
Agentic GGUF collection
remain separate public resources.

ZeroThink and Matrix bridge code is optional integration code for an operator-owned deployment, not a requirement to use a retired public website. Old release notes describe historical services; current installation guidance is this README and the 7.3 guides.
