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.
π LocalAI is now part of a comprehensive suite of AI tools designed to work together:
A powerful Local AI agent management platform that serves as a drop-in replacement for OpenAI's Responses API, enhanced with advanced agentic capabilities.
A REST-ful API and knowledge base management system that provides persistent memory and storage capabilities for AI agents.
Run the installer script:
# Basic installation curl https://localai.io/install.sh | sh
For more installation options, see Installer Options.
Or run with docker:
docker run -ti --name local-ai -p 8080:8080 localai/localai:latest

For more information about the AIO images and pre-downloaded models, see Container Documentation.
To load models:
# From the model gallery (see available models with `local-ai models list`, in the WebUI from the model tab, or visiting https://models.localai.io) local-ai run llama-3.2-1b-instruct:q4_k_m # Start LocalAI with the phi-2 model directly from huggingface local-ai run huggingface://TheBloke/phi-2-GGUF/phi-2.Q8_0.gguf # Install and run a model from the Ollama OCI registry local-ai run ollama://gemma:2b # Run a model from a configuration file local-ai run https://gist.githubusercontent.com/.../phi-2.yaml # Install and run a model from a standard OCI registry (e.g., Docker Hub) local-ai run oci://localai/phi-2:latest
β‘ Automatic Backend Detection: When you install models from the gallery or YAML files, LocalAI automatically detects your system's GPU capabilities (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel) and downloads the appropriate backend. For advanced configuration options, see GPU Acceleration.
