title: Introduction
description: 'The open-source language model computer.'
The 01 project is an open-source ecosystem for artificially intelligent devices.
By combining code-interpreting language models ("interpreters") with speech recognition and voice synthesis, the 01’s flagship operating system ("01OS") can power conversational, computer-operating AI devices similar to the Rabbit R1 or the Humane Pin.
We intend to become the “Linux” of this new space— open, modular, and free for personal or commercial use.
