Biography
Deep Research
Killian Lucas is the creator of Open Interpreter, a natural language interface for computers that lets language models run code locally. Launched in September 2023, Open Interpreter became the #1 trending repository on GitHub, amassing over 23,000 stars in its first week and now exceeding 62,000 stars. Based in Seattle, WA, Lucas studied at Western Washington University and previously served as Co-Founder & CTO at Lena Business Solutions, specializing in Generative AI, Deep Learning, and Computer Vision. He expanded Open Interpreter into hardware with the 01 Light, a portable open-source voice interface that controls desktop computers, and later launched Interpreter, a desktop agent for document automation that fills PDFs, edits Excel and Word files, and learns new skills — running offline with any model. Lucas is a vocal advocate for open-source, decentralized AI and aims to make Open Interpreter the 'Linux' of AI-powered computing.
