**The 01 Project** is building an open-source ecosystem for AI devices.
Our flagship operating system can power conversational devices like the Rabbit R1, Humane Pin, or [Star Trek computer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZXugicgn6U).
We intend to become the GNU/Linux of this space by committing to staying open, modular, and free.
- The **01 Light** is an ESP32-based voice interface. Build instructions are here. It works in tandem with the **01 Server** running on your home computer.
- **Mac OSX** and **Ubuntu** are supported by running `poetry run 01`. This uses your spacebar to simulate the 01 Light.
- The **01 Heavy** is a device that runs everything locally.
**We need your help supporting & building more hardware.** The 01 should be able to run on any device with input (microphone, keyboard, etc.), output (speakers, screens, motors, etc.), and an internet connection (or sufficient compute to run everything locally).

# How does it work?
The 01 exposes a speech-to-speech websocket at `localhost:10001`.
If you stream raw audio bytes to `/` in [LMC format](https://docs.openinterpreter.com/protocols/lmc-messages), you will recieve its response in the same format.
Inspired in part by [Andrej Karpathy's LLM OS](https://twitter.com/karpathy/status/1723140519554105733), we point a [code-interpreting language model](https://github.com/OpenInterpreter/open-interpreter) at your computer's [kernel](https://github.com/OpenInterpreter/01/blob/main/01OS/01OS/server/utils/kernel.py), forming a **l**anguage **m**odel **c**omputer (LMC).
This architecture fuses classical computers (powerful, deterministic) with language models (flexible, non-deterministic). We believe it inherits the best of both— unifying the unreasonable power of classical computers with the human-like usability of language models.
The 01OS can be housed in many different bodies. We highly encourage PRs that add to this list:
The **01 Light** is an ESP32-based voice interface that controls your home computer over the internet. It's used in combination with the **01 Server**.
The **01 Heavy** is a device that runs everything locally.
