Mozilla launches Thunderbolt AI client with focus on self-hosted infrastructure
Summary
Mozilla launches Thunderbolt, a front-end client for locally hosted AI infrastructure built on Haystack, enabling organizations to run AI pipelines without relying on cloud services. It offers integration with ACP-compatible agents or OpenAI-compatible APIs, supports local data as a source of truth, and includes optional end-to-end encryption and device-level controls, with cross-platform native apps and a GitHub build. The project aims to foster a decentralized open source AI ecosystem and enterprise self-hosting, while it remains under active development and security audits.
