omi is an open-source ambient AI companion that captures what's on your screen and listens to your environment in real time. Rather than requiring you to prompt it, omi operates as a persistent background layer — observing, remembering, and surfacing relevant advice or actions based on what you're actually doing. Built by BasedHardware, the project combines screen capture, audio processing, and LLM inference to create an AI that functions more like a co-pilot than a chatbot. Under the hood it pipes captured context through a vision-language pipeline and surfaces suggestions via a lightweight overlay. The codebase is open source and modular, allowing you to swap in different models or tweak what omi pays attention to. The appeal is obvious but so is the tension: this is the ambient computing interface many have theorized about for years, but it puts a lot of trust in local (or remote) processing of highly personal data. At 685 GitHub stars on a single day, it's clearly resonating with the "AI as a continuous presence" crowd rather than the "AI as a tool I invoke" crowd.

Sup AI uses a confidence-weighted ensemble of multiple AI models to answer hard questions. Each model rates its own confidence, and the system aggregates responses weighted by that confidence. Achieved 52.15% on Humanity's Last Exam benchmark, outperforming individual models.
Reviewer scorecard
“The modular architecture is genuinely well-designed — you can swap models, customize triggers, and run inference locally. The vision pipeline is clean and the code quality is above average for a GitHub-trending project.”
“No API, no self-hosting option, and the ensemble approach means your per-query cost is 3-5x a single model call. The benchmark numbers are compelling but I cannot integrate this into a product. Ship an API and I will reconsider.”
“Storing a continuous stream of your screen and audio — even locally — is an enormous privacy surface. The threat model for ambient AI companions is very different from chatbots. I'd want to see a serious third-party security audit before running this on anything I care about.”
“The benchmark result is legitimately impressive and the methodology is transparent. My concern is latency — querying multiple models and aggregating adds significant time. For research and high-stakes questions it is worth the wait. For everyday chat it is overkill.”
“omi is an early prototype of the ambient intelligence layer that will ultimately replace the app paradigm. The UX model — AI sees and hears vs. AI waits to be asked — is the real paradigm shift here, not just the code.”
“Confidence-weighted ensembling is the quiet breakthrough everyone is sleeping on. Individual models plateau — but smart aggregation keeps pushing the frontier. Sup AI scoring 52% on Humanity's Last Exam when no single model breaks 40% proves the thesis.”
“For anyone doing creative work that involves juggling references, research, and drafts across windows, an AI that tracks what you're actually working on and offers contextual suggestions is genuinely exciting. This is the research assistant I've wanted.”
