Drop-in OpenAI-compatible API for local models
LocalAI is a self-hosted server that mimics the OpenAI API but runs open models on your own hardware. It supports text, image, audio and embeddings, and works on CPUs as well as GPUs.
That compatibility means apps written for OpenAI can switch with a changed URL. It is popular with homelab users and teams with strict data rules.
It is flexible, though setup can be fiddly compared with Ollama.
