LocalAI
“A drop-in OpenAI-compatible API that runs models at home.”
The OpenAI API, pointed at your basement.
LocalAI lets existing apps keep their OpenAI client and change the base URL. P-to-P replacement is how local actually gets adopted.
Opened the compatibility layer that made local a backend, not a new app.
Filed notes
- OpenAI-compatible local API
