## Resource

Ornif 1.0 (9B) Local Model Demo: Build Apps Privately, Offline & Free in Agent OSThe video introduces the local AI model Ornif 1.0 (9B) and demonstrates how it’s integrated into an agent operating system to run AI agents locally for free on Mac or PC. The presenter shows Ornif planning and coding a habit tracker in HTML, previewing and saving creations in a workspace, and highlights benchmark comparisons where Ornif outperforms Qwen 3.5 (including some larger models) and Gemma 4 on tests like Terminal Bench. Key benefits emphasized are privacy, offline use, no API costs or limits, and a 9.5GB model building real apps on-device. The script also covers using Ornif with workflows like Hermes, Agent Kanban, local chat, and a loop engine for bug-finding and self-fixing, plus where to get setup help via the AI Profit Boardroom. 00:00 Meet Ornif 9B 00:38 Agent OS Local Setup 01:16 Building a Habit Tracker 02:09 Benchmark Breakdown 03:30 Local First Benefits 04:16 Previewing the App 05:00 Using Hermes and Agents 06:46 Self Fixing Local Engine 08:15 More Agent OS Workflows 09:20 Common Objections Answered 09:41 Join the Community 10:37 Final Thanks
