Principles

Homebrew operates on open-source principles (opens in a new tab), giving everyone the freedom to adjust, personalize, and contribute to its development.

Our focus is on creating a community-powered ecosystem that prioritizes transparency, customization, and user privacy. As a result, most of our new team members come from our community.

For more on our principles, visit our About page (opens in a new tab).

Open-Source

We embrace open development, showcasing our progress and upcoming features on GitHub, and we encourage your input and contributions:

• 🤖 Cortex (opens in a new tab): Local AI Engine
• 🦄 llama3-s (opens in a new tab): Llama3 that can hear and speak

Build in Public

Wise is the one who can learn from other's mistakes. We share our learnings publicly, using Discord (opens in a new tab) to build in public and welcome anyone to join in.

Collaboration

Our team spans the globe, working remotely to bring Homebrew projects to life. We coordinate through Discord and GitHub, valuing async communication and minimal, purposeful meetings.

For collaboration and brainstorming, we utilize tools like Excalidraw (opens in a new tab) and Miro (opens in a new tab), ensuring alignment and shared vision through visual storytelling and detailed documentation on HackMD (opens in a new tab).
