LocalAI is the open-source AI engine. Run any model - LLMs, vision, voice, image, video - on any hardware. No GPU required.

What it is

LocalAI is the open-source AI engine. Run any model - LLMs, vision, voice, image, video - on any hardware. No GPU required. A small core, not a bundle. Each backend wraps a best-in-class engine (llama.cpp, vLLM, whisper.cpp, stable-diffusion, MLX...) in its own image, pulled only when a model needs it. You install nothing you don't use.

When to use it

Reach for LocalAI when you need to call, serve, run locally, fine-tune or chat with a language model — it's written in Go and fits stacks tagged ai-agents, ai, api, audio-generation.
