About LocalAI

LocalAI is a free open-source drop-in replacement for the OpenAI API that runs AI models locally on your own hardware.

LocalAI is built for developers who have already built applications using the OpenAI API but want to switch to local or self-hosted models without rewriting their existing codebase. It mirrors the OpenAI API structure exactly, so applications can simply point to the local machine instead of OpenAI servers with minimal configuration changes. LocalAI supports text generation, audio generation, and image generation entirely offline. Paid support and cloud hosting options are available through community partners.
