LocalAI is the free, Open Source OpenAI alternative. LocalAI act as a drop-in replacement REST API that’s compatible with OpenAI (Elevenlabs, Anthropic... ) API specifications for local AI inferencing. It allows you to run LLMs, generate images, audio (and not only) locally or on-prem with consumer grade hardware, supporting multiple model families. Does not require GPU. It is created and maintained by Ettore Di Giacinto.

Run the installer script:

curl https://localai.io/install.sh | sh

Or run with docker:

docker run -ti --name local-ai -p 8080:8080 localai/localai:latest-aio-cpu
# Alternative images:
# - if you have an Nvidia GPU:
# docker run -ti --name local-ai -p 8080:8080 --gpus all localai/localai:latest-aio-gpu-nvidia-cuda-12
# - without preconfigured models
# docker run -ti --name local-ai -p 8080:8080 localai/localai:latest
# - without preconfigured models for Nvidia GPUs
# docker run -ti --name local-ai -p 8080:8080 --gpus all localai/localai:latest-gpu-nvidia-cuda-12
