Bloc - Bloc: Open-source package manager and registry for local AI
by•
Bloc is an open-source package manager and registry for AI workloads. Instead of sharing long README files, setup and config guides, developers can package complete AI deployments as reusable recipes. Each recipe contains everything needed to run a workload, including models, runtimes, environment variables, server settings, and startup commands. Anyone can then reproduce the same setup with a single command, making local AI deployments easier to share and run across different machines and teams

Hey everyone!
Bloc started from a frustration I kept running into while exploring local AI.
Someone would share an optimised model config but reproducing it meant digging through README files, installing dependencies, configuring runtimes, copying commands, and hoping everything matched the original environment.
I felt there should be a better way to share AI workloads.
Instead of sharing instructions, Bloc lets you share a recipe. A recipe [a ylm based config file] contains everything needed to run a workload models, runtimes, environment variables, startup commands, and configuration— o others can reproduce the same setup with a single command.
This launch is an early step toward making AI workloads easier to package, share, discover, and reproduce.
I'd love feedback from people running local models and self-hosted AI infrastructure. What would make a tool like this genuinely useful for your workflow?
