What LocalAI does
LocalAI exposes an OpenAI-compatible REST API in front of locally run text, image, and audio models, so existing OpenAI-client code can point at a self-hosted backend instead. It supports many model formats and runs without a GPU, though performance benefits from one. It supports GGUF, ONNX, and several other model formats, so existing quantized models can be reused directly.
