Local AI Telemetry 2026
What local AI tools send over the network, measured by StrideNote on one Mac between 8 July and 8 August 2026. One row per tool per destination: 13 rows across 8 tools (LM Studio, OpenCode, Pi, OpenJarvis and its installer, Graphify, Visual Studio Code, huggingface_hub).
This is the dataset behind the Local AI Telemetry Report 2026 (edition 1, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.22848632). The follow-up on sixteen coding agents is a separate dataset, Local Agent Telemetry 2026.
What was measured
Each tool was run on a 48 GB M4 Pro Mac with a local model and watched at the network: outside sockets during install, launch, idle and use, and A/B captures at a local listener where the tool's analytics host could be redirected to one we controlled. Where a tool phones home, the row says what the payload held and whether any of the user's work was in it.
Columns
Same fourteen columns as the agent dataset: tool, version, date, evidence_grade (A captured at our listener or proxy, B sockets plus source, C source only), method, destination, trigger, what_is_sent, content_of_work_sent, on_by_default, off_switch, off_switch_documented, off_switch_verified, source_url.
Limits
One machine, macOS, the versions and dates given. A row is a record of what that build did on that day.
Updates since the report
- 19 October 2026: OpenJarvis merged a change on 14 October that makes its analytics opt-in. The rows here describe desktop-v1.0.2, still the newest desktop release on that date. Not retested.
