Features / Models

Open models, your hardware.

Pick an open model from the gallery. LocalAI installs it and runs it on your own hardware.

What it does

  • Browse the gallery and install a model with one command or one click.
  • LocalAI ranks the builds your machine can run and picks an engine that fits.
  • Engines download the first time a model needs one, so the base install stays small.
  • It runs on a CPU. A GPU makes it faster. See the hardware list on the Download page.
Good to know
  • LocalAI runs open models. It does not run every model.
