Building RELDEN, one reliable step at a time
RELDEN is still in private development. This week, our focus has been on making the foundations more dependable and explaining clearly what already works and what still needs testing.
What changed
The RELDEN website is now live at relden.app. It gives people a place to follow the product's progress while the desktop app remains a private alpha.
Work on the desktop experience continues around projects, files, memory, tasks, and local AI. RELDEN is designed to keep your working context on your own device and help you return to a task without starting from scratch.
We also continued testing the safety controls for optional cloud work. In recent tests, the system correctly created and checked a temporary computing resource, then shut it down and removed it through its external safety controls. The complete start-to-finish workflow is still being tested, so we are not calling it finished.
Why it matters
Local-first means your work should stay on your device by default. When a task may need additional computing power, RELDEN should use it only within clear limits and clean it up when the work ends. That reliability matters as much as the AI itself.
Current status
- Completed: The public website is live, and the desktop app has a working private-alpha foundation.
- Being tested: Optional cloud execution, its startup checks, and the full automatic shutdown and cleanup path.
- Still under development: The specialized Relden-8B model and broader access to the desktop app. Productive training has not started.
What's next
The next priority is to complete one full lifecycle test of the optional cloud workflow. Only after that test meets every safety check will we consider the next training run. We will keep sharing progress here without presenting plans as finished features.
