Timmy Time — Mission Control

A local-first, sovereign AI agent system. Talk to Timmy, watch his swarm, gate API access with Bitcoin Lightning — all from a browser, no cloud AI required.

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/AlexanderWhitestone/Timmy-time-dashboard.git
cd Timmy-time-dashboard
make install              # create venv + install deps
cp .env.example .env      # configure environment

ollama serve              # separate terminal
ollama pull qwen2.5:14b  # Required for reliable tool calling

make dev                  # http://localhost:8000
make test                 # no Ollama needed

Note: qwen2.5:14b is the primary model — better reasoning and tool calling than llama3.1:8b-instruct while still running locally on modest hardware. Fallback: llama3.1:8b-instruct if qwen2.5:14b is not available. llama3.2 (3B) was found to hallucinate tool output consistently in testing.

Mobile Access

The dashboard is fully mobile-optimized (iOS safe area, 44px touch targets, 16px input to prevent zoom, momentum scroll).

# Bind to your local network
uvicorn dashboard.app:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload

# Find your IP
ipconfig getifaddr en0    # Wi-Fi on macOS

Open http://<your-ip>:8000 on your phone (same Wi-Fi network).

Mobile-specific routes:

• /mobile — single-column optimized layout
• /mobile-test — 21-scenario HITL test harness (layout, touch, scroll, notch)

AirLLM — Big Brain Backend

Run 70B or 405B models locally with no GPU, using AirLLM's layer-by-layer loading. Apple Silicon uses MLX automatically.

pip install ".[bigbrain]"
pip install "airllm[mlx]"   # Apple Silicon only

timmy chat "Explain self-custody" --backend airllm --model-size 70b

Or set once in .env:

TIMMY_MODEL_BACKEND=auto
AIRLLM_MODEL_SIZE=70b

Flag	Parameters	RAM needed
8b	8 billion	~16 GB
70b	70 billion	~140 GB
405b	405 billion	~810 GB

---

CLI

timmy chat "What is sovereignty?"
timmy think "Bitcoin and self-custody"
timmy status

timmy-serve start          # L402-gated API server (port 8402)
timmy-serve invoice        # generate a Lightning invoice
timmy-serve status

Or with the bootstrap script (creates venv, tests, watchdog, server in one shot):

bash scripts/activate_self_tdd.sh
bash scripts/activate_self_tdd.sh --big-brain   # also installs AirLLM

---

Troubleshooting

• ollama: command not found — brew install ollama or ollama.com
• connection refused — run ollama serve first
• ModuleNotFoundError — source .venv/bin/activate && make install
• Health panel shows DOWN — Ollama isn't running; chat returns offline message

Roadmap

Version	Name	Status
