Open-source self-hosted AI workspace by PewDiePie that connects to local and API models, with chat, agents, deep research, model compare, brain memory, notes, calendar and gallery. The creator installs it on a Mac and finds deep research, compare and memory good, but the image editor/in-painting and agent features didn't work for him.
Live demoSponsored segment on Recraft's V4.1 family: a more photorealistic base model, a Pro high-res version, a Vector model producing editable SVGs, and a Utility model for clean predictable images.
Local model runner installed and connected to Odysseus so models can be downloaded and served offline.
Live demoLocal model run through Ollama in Odysseus. It was fast and answered basic questions, but was much weaker than GPT-5.5, for example on SVG generation and on a car wash question.
Live demoAdded to Odysseus via API key and used as the stronger cloud baseline. It gave better answers and far better SVGs than the local models, at a higher per-response cost.
Live demoLarge local model needing about 77GB VRAM, downloaded via the Odysseus cookbook. Its SVG output was decent and clearly better than Gemma 3 12B, but well below GPT-5.5.
Live demoCreator downloaded a Flux model through the cookbook to power in-painting in Odysseus's image editor, but the in-paint requests failed with a rejected endpoint URL error.
Live demoCreator says it is probably the best image generator that can run locally now, but Odysseus didn't recognize it as an image generation model.
