Self-hosted sovereign AI

OpenZero is the local AI node path.

Run AI on a machine you control, expose safe node API keys, manage local models, operate a Super Panel, and connect to ZeroThink for sustained private usage.

Super Panel Direction

Panel

Models

Show installed local models, size, quantization, context, memory pressure, and launch state.

Panel

API Keys

Create and revoke local OpenAI-compatible node keys for trusted clients.

Panel

Logs

Expose service logs, PM2 status, update events, and safe diagnostics.

Panel

Security

Show firewall, exposed ports, SSH status, ZSEC state, fail2ban notes, and backup reminders.

Panel

Updates

Repair, update, restart, and health-check OpenZero components.

Panel

Search And Tools

Connect web/search helpers, local files, browser workflows, and CLI profiles.

Runtime

Z-Spark

Optional draft/verify routing: a small local model drafts when ready, then the active model verifies or rewrites.

Voice

Voice

Piper-style local voice fallback plus optional Voicebox backend when the user installs Voicebox separately.

15 GB Local Model Rule

For current target machines, do not install local LLM files over 15 GB. Use Q3, Q4, Q5, or Q6 quantized models that fit memory. Route larger GLM or custom talktoaiZERO style models through hosted providers such as Featherless when they exceed local limits.

ZeroThink Bridge

The premium path is: try limited shared OpenZero gateway behavior where enabled, then install OpenZero, create a node key, and save it in Neural Vault. That protects TalkToAI resources while giving users ownership of sustained compute. ZeroThink should use server-side registered routes rather than trusting arbitrary browser-supplied machine URLs.

Z-Spark Draft-Verify

Z-Spark is OpenZero's custom CPU-first draft/verify lane. It is inspired by the broad draft, confidence, verify pattern but does not claim to ship official DSpark internals. It is useful when a small draft model is present and falls back cleanly when the target machine is not ready.

Questions And Answers

Can users use their own OpenZero machine?

Yes. They can install OpenZero, create a node key, and connect it to ZeroThink where the server bridge is enabled.

Should every user consume TalkToAI shared resources?

No. Shared resources should be limited for trial usage. Sustained use should move to the user's own OpenZero node.

What is Z-Spark?

Z-Spark is OpenZero's custom draft/verify runtime lane. It can improve answer discipline when a small draft model is available, but it falls back to target-only inference when the node is not ready.

Can OpenZero run huge models?

Only if the hardware supports them. The current docs rule is no local model file over 15 GB.
