May 25, 2026 Milestone Release
Openbentt Beta: the local-first AI research workspace
More than a chat box
Researchers need LaTeX, PDFs, benchmarks, and model control — not another chat interface. Openbentt Phase 1 ships a local-first workspace for exactly that.
Inference, history, and attachments stay on the machine by default; Meridian powers writing and proofreading inside it.
What beta includes
LaTeX editing with preview, PDF workflows, an AI assistant grounded in your documents, and benchmarking for fine-tuned small models.
Built for researchers, developers, and privacy-conscious professionals — by researchers.
Try it
Openbentt is in beta with downloads through the site. Cobentt's mobile playground — documents, slides, sheets, and deep research on your phone — is in testing.
