stakwork/mikeoss

stakwork is turning Mike into an assistant you can run on your own hardware, with local inference and voice-driven chat.

Active in early May 2026 - a handful of threads landing across chat UI, local-LLM support and deployment, with two contributors visibly pushing.

stakwork/mikeoss is a fork of Mike pointed squarely at self-hosted deployment. The headline move is bringing Ollama into the mix as an LLM provider, so the assistant can talk to a model running on your own machine instead of routing every prompt out to a hosted API. Alongside that, the fork is fleshing out the day-to-day chat experience and the operational story for actually running it.

The work is coming from stakwork, with contributions landing under @Evanfeenstra and @pitoi. Recent threads touch the chat surface itself (a microphone button for dictating prompts, polish on the Ollama model picker and a state for when account settings tools aren't available) and the deployment side (a Docker-based setup that targets both local development and production).

Taken together, the direction reads as: keep the chat UI usable and hands-free, give people a real path to run Mike on their own hardware, and make standing it up - locally or in production - a known quantity. If that overlap interests you, the GitHub repo is where the detail lives.
