Hob launches as open-source, on-device alternative to Claude and ChatGPT

Original: Show HN: Hob - Open-source, on device alternative to Claude Cowork and ChatGPT

A new open-source project called Hob, published on GitHub by FrigadeHQ, presents itself as an on-device alternative to cloud AI assistants like Anthropic's Claude Cowork and OpenAI's ChatGPT. The launch drew strong engagement on Hacker News, where developers debated the appeal of running AI assistants locally: privacy, cost savings, and independence from subscription services, weighed against the performance gap with frontier cloud models.

Why now: Developers are actively interested in privacy-focused, locally running AI tools that avoid cloud subscriptions.
