For most of its life, aihorde.net has been a place to read about the horde rather than a place to use it. Early on it was only a landing page with a brief intro and a Register link. In 2024 RikudouSage gave us our first proper website, and over
I have been hard at work for quite a while, across many of the horde projects. Much of this time has been spent in the weeds, working on setting the foundation for more visible components. For example, I had resolved myself to clean up and improve the horde-sdk, as I
One of the less visible but meaningful changes we've been working toward is making the AI Horde genuinely deployable by anyone, not just the couple of people who already know how the pieces fit together. That work has now reached a point worth announcing. The deployments repository has
Students should not need a corporate account or a powerful computer to experiment with or learn about generative AI. Educators should be able to route coursework through services that will not change their terms, their pricing, or their content policies without notice.
We need your support Before I get to the homepage updates, I want to put out a call out for image workers. We have had dips to as low as 4 active workers in the past week. We understand that running workers takes time, effort and expense, but if you

The Luxembourg Open Source Conference will be on the 1st of Oct 2025 and Haidra staff will not only be participating, but we'll also be giving a presentation on the AI Horde itself! We will hold our talk on Wednesday, October 1 at 2:00pm, so make sure
Fediseer has until now been only able to determine admins of a fediverse instance via the instance API. This worked fine for software like lemmy which display all their admins in the API, but created issues with instances which either obfuscated admin accounts (like mastodon), or which didn't
We just developed and deployed a new service which by itself caused us to also develop a new feature on the AI Horde! The service itself is a small pilot for an OpenAI-compatible API to the AI Horde, working as a proxy service. The new service can be found on
One of the early decisions I made when designing the AI Horde is that I didn't want to deal with user accounts and the personal data that comes with them. Not only because I didn't want to be responsible for the safety of that data, but
Since the AI Horde has been a SaaS from day one, along with being something anyone can self-host, being able to cover the server costs was a primary focus to avoid burdening myself too much for a hobby project. So I had repurposed my patreon account to accept donations to
Background: Haidra has, up until now, been the informal group behind AI-Horde and has been dedicated to providing free and open-source services and software. We are all volunteers ourselves, and we rely entirely on volunteer effort to develop, operate and maintain our services, which we offer free of charge. Incorporation
