Local.ai is an open-source desktop app that enables you to utilize the power of AI without relying on cloud services or incurring usage costs. Available for Windows, Mac (M1/M2/Intel), and Linux.
It provides a simple interface for managing, verifying, and running inference with machine learning models through an efficient Rust backend and compact app size under 10MB.
Features:
- Model Management: Import models into one centralized app and sort by usage, date added, name, etc.
- Digest Verification: Ensure model integrity with robust BLAKE3 and SHA256 hash checking against known-good values.
- Usage Tracking: View compute usage, license info and model details all in one place.
- Inference Server: Easily start a local server to run streaming inference from your models.
- Quick Inference UI: Send inference requests to your server and get results back instantly.
- Note-taking: Attach notes, documentation and usage examples to your models.
