**LocalAI** is the free, Open Source OpenAI alternative. LocalAI act as a drop-in replacement REST API that's compatible with OpenAI API specifications for local inferencing. It allows you to run [LLMs]({{%relref "docs/features/text-generation" %}}), generate images, audio (and not only) locally or on-prem with consumer grade hardware, supporting multiple model families and architectures.
|
|
|
|
## Installation Methods
|
|
|
|
LocalAI is available as a container image and binary, compatible with various container engines like Docker, Podman, and Kubernetes. Container images are published on [quay.io](https://quay.io/repository/go-skynet/local-ai?tab=tags&tag=latest) and [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/localai/localai). Binaries can be downloaded from [GitHub](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/releases).

|
|
|
|
**Hardware Requirements:** The hardware requirements for LocalAI vary based on the [model size] and [quantization] method used. For performance benchmarks with different backends, such as `llama.cpp`, visit [this link](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp#memorydisk-requirements). The `rwkv` backend is noted for its lower resource consumption.

|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
Before you begin, ensure you have a container engine installed if you are not using the binaries. Suitable options include Docker or Podman. For installation instructions, refer to the following guides:
|
|
|
|
- [Install Docker Desktop (Mac, Windows, Linux)](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
|
|
- [Install Podman (Linux)](https://podman.io/getting-started/installation)
|
|
- [Install Docker engine (Servers)](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/#get-started)
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Running Models
|
|
|
|
> _Do you have already a model file? Skip to [Run models manually]({{%relref "docs/getting-started/manual" %}})_.
|
|
|
|
LocalAI allows one-click runs with popular models. It downloads the model and starts the API with the model loaded.
|
|
|
|
There are different categories of models: [LLMs]({{%relref "docs/features/text-generation" %}}), [Multimodal LLM]({{%relref "docs/features/gpt-vision" %}}) , [Embeddings]({{%relref "docs/features/embeddings" %}}), [Audio to Text]({{%relref "docs/features/audio-to-text" %}}), and [Text to Audio]({{%relref "docs/features/text-to-audio" %}}) depending on the backend being used and the model architecture.
|
|
|
|
{{% alert icon="💡" %}}
|
|
|
|
To customize the models, see [Model customization]({{%relref "docs/getting-started/customize-model" %}}). For more model configurations, visit the [Examples Section](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI/tree/master/examples/configurations).

**Tip** You can actually specify multiple models to start an instance with the models loaded, for example to have both llava and phi-2 configured:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker run -ti -p 8080:8080 localai/localai:{{< version >}}-ffmpeg-core llava phi-2
|
|
```

## Container images
|
|
|
|
LocalAI provides a variety of images to support different environments. These images are available on [quay.io](https://quay.io/repository/go-skynet/local-ai?tab=tags) and [Dockerhub](https://hub.docker.com/r/localai/localai).
|
|
|
|
For GPU Acceleration support for Nvidia video graphic cards, use the Nvidia/CUDA images, if you don't have a GPU, use the CPU images. If you have AMD or Mac Silicon, see the [build section]({{%relref "docs/getting-started/build" %}}).
|
|
|
|
{{% alert icon="💡" %}}
|
|
|
|
**Available Images Types**:
|
|
|
|
- Images ending with `-core` are smaller images without predownload python dependencies. Use these images if you plan to use `llama.cpp`, `stablediffusion-ncn`, `tinydream` or `rwkv` backends - if you are not sure which one to use, do **not** use these images.
|
|
- FFMpeg is **not** included in the default images due to [its licensing](https://www.ffmpeg.org/legal.html). If you need FFMpeg, use the images ending with `-ffmpeg`. Note that `ffmpeg` is needed in case of using `audio-to-text` LocalAI's features.
|
|
- If using old and outdated CPUs and no GPUs you might need to set `REBUILD` to `true` as environment variable along with options to disable the flags which your CPU does not support, however note that inference will perform poorly and slow. See also [flagset compatibility]({{%relref "docs/getting-started/build#cpu-flagset-compatibility" %}}).
