Mozilla ☛ Hacks.Mozilla.Org: Sponsoring sqlite-vec to enable more powerful Local Hey Hi (AI) applications
Mozilla’s recently announced Builders program supports projects that advance the cause of open source AI. Our inaugural theme is “Local AI”: AI-powered applications that can run entirely locally on consumer devices like desktops, laptops, and smartphones. We are keenly interested in this area because it fosters greater privacy and control by putting Hey Hi (AI) technology directly into the hands of users. It also democratizes Hey Hi (AI) development by reducing costs, making powerful tools accessible to individual developers and small communities.
