โก Xlnk-AI
Ultra-Light AI for Every Machine
Xlnk-AI is a non-profit, open-source initiative building extremely lightweight AI systems that run on hardware modern AI ignores.
We donโt build for data centers.
We build for real machines.
๐ง If it can boot โ it should run AI.
๐ Mission
AI should not require:
- A $2000 GPU
- 32GB RAM
- Cloud subscriptions
- Always-on internet
Xlnk-AI exists to break that model.
We focus on efficiency, accessibility, and ownership, enabling AI to run on:
- ๐พ 2GB RAM
- ๐ฅ๏ธ Old CPUs
- ๐ฎ Legacy GPUs (GeForce 210-class)
- ๐ฆ Minimal storage
- ๐ Offline environments
๐ What Makes Xlnk-AI Different
- ๐ฅ Ultra-light models
- ๐ Non-profit & open-source
- ๐ง CPU-first inference
- ๐ Offline-capable AI
- โป๏ธ Sustainable computing
- ๐ ๏ธ Runs on โobsoleteโ hardware
We optimize for usefulness, not hype benchmarks.
๐ง Core Focus
- INT8 / INT4 quantization
- Tiny & hybrid model architectures
- CPU-optimized inference
- Optional legacy GPU acceleration
- Minimal dependencies
- Docker & bare-metal support

๐ค Contributing
You donโt need:
- A monster GPU
- A big budget
- A cloud account
You do need:
- Curiosity
- Optimization skills
- Old hardware to test
- A belief that AI should be accessible
If your PC struggles โ youโre our ideal contributor.
๐ License
Xlnk-AI projects are released under open-source licenses to ensure:
- Transparency
- Long-term access
- User freedom
โค๏ธ Why Xlnk-AI?
Because AI should belong to:
- Schools
- Students
- Low-resource regions
- Old hardware owners
Not just data centers.
