Can I self-host Pichu?

Updated November 15, 2026

Short answer

That is the plan: Pichu will have a free self-hosted edition that runs on your own server with your own AI keys, under a proprietary license, alongside a paid managed cloud run by YatoFix. The complete self-hosting package is in preparation: today’s installer still connects your computer to our platform.

Two ways to run Pichu

Self-hosted: free, on your server, with your own model keys or compatible local models where supported. Proprietary license; its terms will be published with the package.
Managed cloud: paid and turnkey, run by YatoFix in France. Prices are not published during the beta.

What is available today

During the beta, Pichu runs on the managed platform. An installer can already put a Bot’s computer on your own server, but that computer still depends on our platform: it is not a standalone self-hosted edition yet.

The complete package is planned with guided installation, updates, backups and restore, and core features that keep working without depending on YatoFix.

Moving from the cloud to your server

A complete export and a migration from the managed cloud to self-hosting are planned. During a migration, routines are paused on one side before being switched on at the other, so that the same task never runs twice.

Is it open source?

No. The self-hosted edition will be free to use under a proprietary license. Its exact terms (commercial use, support, updates) are not published yet.

Questions

Will self-hosting be free?

Yes. You will pay for your own server and your own AI usage, not for the software.
