**LocalAI** is the free, Open Source OpenAI alternative. LocalAI act as a drop-in replacement REST API thats compatible with OpenAI API specifications for local 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.

In a nutshell:
- Local, OpenAI drop-in alternative REST API. You own your data.
- NO GPU required. NO Internet access is required either
- Optional, GPU Acceleration is available in `llama.cpp`-compatible LLMs. See also the [build section](https://localai.io/basics/build/index.html).
- Supports multiple models
- 🏃 Once loaded the first time, it keep models loaded in memory for faster inference
- ⚡ Doesn't shell-out, but uses C++ bindings for a faster inference and better performance.
LocalAI was created by [Ettore Di Giacinto](https://github.com/mudler/) and is a community-driven project, focused on making the AI accessible to anyone. Any contribution, feedback and PR is welcome!
Note that this started just as a [fun weekend project](https://localai.io/#backstory) in order to try to create the necessary pieces for a full AI assistant like `ChatGPT`: the community is growing fast and we are working hard to make it better and more stable. If you want to help, please consider contributing (see below)!
