PewDiePie built an open source AI workspace called Project Odysseus and I put it through its paces so you don’t have to.
Odysseus is a self-hosted AI platform that lets you run local AI models, connect APIs, do deep research, manage files, and keep your data completely off the cloud. Think ChatGPT or Claude but running on your own machine, with your own models, and full privacy control.
In this video I install it on my M3 Mac, connect local models through Ollama, run model comparisons between Gemma 3 12B and GPT 5.5, test the deep research module, and explore every feature the app has to offer including the brain memory system, the model comparison scoreboard, and the image editor (spoiler: some things work great, some things I absolutely could not get to work no matter how hard I tried).
If you’ve ever wanted to run AI completely offline without paying API fees or sending your data to a server, this is worth knowing about.
