Roadmap: Building the Future of Local AI

Philosophy

Everyone should have access to AI they control — locally, securely, and freely. GGUF Loader is built for this.

Phase 1: Core (Done)

GGUF inference
Portable Windows, Mac, Linux app
100% offline GUI

Phase 2: Productivity (In Progress)

Addon system with activation/deactivation
SDK for custom extensions

Phase 3: Collaboration (Planned)

Model manager with previews
Document processing and summarization
CPU/GPU toggle and power settings

Long-Term Vision

We're not just building a loader. We're building a private AI platform that supports multimodal models (text, image, audio), voice control, and profession-based agents (legal, medical, coding). All running 100% offline — with zero vendor lock-in.
