LocalAI
LocalAI is a drop-in replacement REST API that's compatible with OpenAI API specifications for local inferencing. It allows you to run models locally or on-prem with consumer grade hardware, supporting multiple model families that are compatible with the ggml format.
For a list of the supported model families, please see the model compatibility table below.
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 building instructions. - Supports multiple models, Audio transcription, Text generation with GPTs, Image generation with stable diffusion (experimental)
- 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 is a community-driven project, focused on making the AI accessible to anyone. Any contribution, feedback and PR is welcome! It was initially created by mudler at the SpectroCloud OSS Office.
See the usage and examples sections to learn how to use LocalAI. For a list of curated models check out the model gallery.
How does it work?
LocalAI is an API written in Go that serves as an OpenAI shim, enabling software already developed with OpenAI SDKs to seamlessly integrate with LocalAI. It can be effortlessly implemented as a substitute, even on consumer-grade hardware. This capability is achieved by employing various C++ backends, including ggml, to perform inference on LLMs using both CPU and, if desired, GPU.
LocalAI uses C++ bindings for optimizing speed. It is based on llama.cpp, gpt4all, rwkv.cpp, ggml, whisper.cpp for audio transcriptions, bert.cpp for embedding and StableDiffusion-NCN for image generation. See the model compatibility table to learn about all the components of LocalAI.

Model compatibility
It is compatible with the models supported by llama.cpp supports also GPT4ALL-J and cerebras-GPT with ggml.
Tested with:
- Vicuna
- Alpaca
- GPT4ALL
- GPT4ALL-J (no changes required)
- Koala
- cerebras-GPT with ggml
- WizardLM
- RWKV models with rwkv.cpp
Note: You might need to convert some models from older models to the new format, for indications, see the README in llama.cpp for instance to run gpt4all
.
RWKV
A full example on how to run a rwkv model is in the examples.
Note: rwkv models needs to specify the backend rwkv
in the YAML config files and have an associated tokenizer along that needs to be provided with it:
36464540 -rw-r--r-- 1 mudler mudler 1.2G May 3 10:51 rwkv_small
36464543 -rw-r--r-- 1 mudler mudler 2.4M May 3 10:51 rwkv_small.tokenizer.json
Others
It should also be compatible with StableLM and GPTNeoX ggml models (untested).
Hardware requirements
Depending on the model you are attempting to run might need more RAM or CPU resources. Check out also here for ggml
based backends. rwkv
is less expensive on resources.

Usage
LocalAI
comes by default as a container image. You can check out all the available images with corresponding tags here.
The easiest way to run LocalAI is by using docker-compose
(to build locally, see building LocalAI):
git clone https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI
cd LocalAI
# (optional) Checkout a specific LocalAI tag
# git checkout -b build <TAG>
# copy your models to models/
cp your-model.bin models/
# (optional) Edit the .env file to set things like context size and threads
# vim .env
# start with docker-compose
docker-compose up -d --pull always
# or you can build the images with:
# docker-compose up -d --build
# Now API is accessible at localhost:8080
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/models
# {"object":"list","data":[{"id":"your-model.bin","object":"model"}]}
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"model": "your-model.bin",
"prompt": "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away",
"temperature": 0.7
}'
Example: Use GPT4ALL-J model
# Clone LocalAI
git clone https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI
cd LocalAI
# (optional) Checkout a specific LocalAI tag
# git checkout -b build <TAG>
# Download gpt4all-j to models/
wget https://gpt4all.io/models/ggml-gpt4all-j.bin -O models/ggml-gpt4all-j
# Use a template from the examples
cp -rf prompt-templates/ggml-gpt4all-j.tmpl models/
# (optional) Edit the .env file to set things like context size and threads
# vim .env
# start with docker-compose
docker-compose up -d --pull always
# or you can build the images with:
# docker-compose up -d --build
# Now API is accessible at localhost:8080
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/models
# {"object":"list","data":[{"id":"ggml-gpt4all-j","object":"model"}]}
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"model": "ggml-gpt4all-j",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "How are you?"}],
"temperature": 0.9
}'
# {"model":"ggml-gpt4all-j","choices":[{"message":{"role":"assistant","content":"I'm doing well, thanks. How about you?"}}]}
Advanced: prepare models using the API
Instead of installing models manually, you can use the LocalAI API endpoints and a model definition to install programmatically via API models in runtime.
A curated collection of model files is in the model-gallery (work in progress!).
To install for example gpt4all-j
, you can send a POST call to the /models/apply
endpoint with the model definition url (url
) and the name of the model should have in LocalAI (name
, optional):
curl http://localhost:8080/models/apply -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/go-skynet/model-gallery/main/gpt4all-j.yaml",
"name": "gpt4all-j"
}'
Other examples
To see other examples on how to integrate with other projects for instance for question answering or for using it with chatbot-ui, see: examples.
Advanced configuration
LocalAI can be configured to serve user-defined models with a set of default parameters and templates.
You can create multiple yaml
files in the models path or either specify a single YAML configuration file.
Consider the following models
folder in the example/chatbot-ui
:
base ❯ ls -liah examples/chatbot-ui/models
36487587 drwxr-xr-x 2 mudler mudler 4.0K May 3 12:27 .
36487586 drwxr-xr-x 3 mudler mudler 4.0K May 3 10:42 ..
36465214 -rw-r--r-- 1 mudler mudler 10 Apr 27 07:46 completion.tmpl
36464855 -rw-r--r-- 1 mudler mudler 3.6G Apr 27 00:08 ggml-gpt4all-j
36464537 -rw-r--r-- 1 mudler mudler 245 May 3 10:42 gpt-3.5-turbo.yaml
36467388 -rw-r--r-- 1 mudler mudler 180 Apr 27 07:46 gpt4all.tmpl
In the gpt-3.5-turbo.yaml
file it is defined the gpt-3.5-turbo
model which is an alias to use gpt4all-j
with pre-defined options.
For instance, consider the following that declares gpt-3.5-turbo
backed by the ggml-gpt4all-j
model:
name: gpt-3.5-turbo
# Default model parameters
parameters:
# Relative to the models path
model: ggml-gpt4all-j
# temperature
temperature: 0.3
# all the OpenAI request options here..
# Default context size
context_size: 512
threads: 10
# Define a backend (optional). By default it will try to guess the backend the first time the model is interacted with.
backend: gptj # available: llama, stablelm, gpt2, gptj rwkv
# stopwords (if supported by the backend)
stopwords:
- "HUMAN:"
- "### Response:"
# define chat roles
roles:
user: "HUMAN:"
system: "GPT:"
template:
# template file ".tmpl" with the prompt template to use by default on the endpoint call. Note there is no extension in the files
completion: completion
chat: ggml-gpt4all-j
Specifying a config-file
via CLI allows to declare models in a single file as a list, for instance:
- name: list1
parameters:
model: testmodel
context_size: 512
threads: 10
stopwords:
- "HUMAN:"
- "### Response:"
roles:
user: "HUMAN:"
system: "GPT:"
template:
completion: completion
chat: ggml-gpt4all-j
- name: list2
parameters:
model: testmodel
context_size: 512
threads: 10
stopwords:
- "HUMAN:"
- "### Response:"
roles:
user: "HUMAN:"
system: "GPT:"
template:
completion: completion
chat: ggml-gpt4all-j
See also chatbot-ui as an example on how to use config files.

Prompt templates
The API doesn't inject a default prompt for talking to the model. You have to use a prompt similar to what's described in the standford-alpaca docs: https://github.com/tatsu-lab/stanford_alpaca#data-release.
The below instruction describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.
### Instruction:
{{.Input}}
### Response:
See the prompt-templates directory in this repository for templates for some of the most popular models.
For the edit endpoint, an example template for alpaca-based models can be:
Below is an instruction that describes a task, paired with an input that provides further context. Write a response that appropriately completes the request.

CLI
You can control LocalAI with command line arguments, to specify a binding address, or the number of threads.
Usage:
local-ai --models-path <model_path> [--address <address>] [--threads <num_threads>]
Parameter | Environment Variable | Default Value | Description |
---|---|---|---|
models-path | MODELS_PATH | The path where you have models (ending with .bin ). |
|
threads | THREADS | Number of Physical cores | The number of threads to use for text generation. |
address | ADDRESS | :8080 | The address and port to listen on. |
context-size | CONTEXT_SIZE | 512 | Default token context size. |
debug | DEBUG | false | Enable debug mode. |
config-file | CONFIG_FILE | empty | Path to a LocalAI config file. |
upload_limit | UPLOAD_LIMIT | 5MB | Upload limit for whisper. |
image-path | IMAGE_PATH | empty | Image directory to store and serve processed images. |
Setup
Currently LocalAI comes as a container image and can be used with docker or a container engine of choice. You can check out all the available images with corresponding tags here.
Docker
docker run -p 8080:8080 -ti --rm quay.io/go-skynet/local-ai:latest --models-path /path/to/models --context-size 700 --threads 4
You should see:
┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ Fiber v2.42.0 │
│ http://127.0.0.1:8080 │
│ (bound on host 0.0.0.0 and port 8080) │
│ │
│ Handlers ............. 1 Processes ........... 1 │
│ Prefork ....... Disabled PID ................. 1 │
└───────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Note: the binary inside the image is rebuild at the start of the container to enable CPU optimizations for the execution environment, you can set the environment variable REBUILD
to false
to prevent this behavior.
Build locally
In order to build the LocalAI
container image locally you can use docker
:
# build the image
docker build -t LocalAI .
docker run LocalAI
Or you can build the binary with make
:
make build
Build on mac
Building on Mac (M1 or M2) works, but you may need to install some prerequisites using brew
.
The below has been tested by one mac user and found to work. Note that this doesn't use docker to run the server:
# install build dependencies
brew install cmake
brew install go
# clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI.git
cd LocalAI
# build the binary
make build
# Download gpt4all-j to models/
wget https://gpt4all.io/models/ggml-gpt4all-j.bin -O models/ggml-gpt4all-j
# Use a template from the examples
cp -rf prompt-templates/ggml-gpt4all-j.tmpl models/
# Run LocalAI
./local-ai --models-path ./models/ --debug
# Now API is accessible at localhost:8080
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/models
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"model": "ggml-gpt4all-j",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "How are you?"}],
"temperature": 0.9
}'
Build with Image generation support
Requirements: OpenCV, Gomp
Image generation is experimental and requires GO_TAGS=stablediffusion
to be set during build:
make GO_TAGS=stablediffusion rebuild
Accelleration
OpenBLAS
Requirements: OpenBLAS
make BUILD_TYPE=openblas build
CuBLAS
Requirement: Nvidia CUDA toolkit
Note: CuBLAS support is experimental, and has not been tested on real HW. please report any issues you find!
make BUILD_TYPE=cublas build
More informations available in the upstream PR: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/1412

Supported OpenAI API endpoints
You can check out the OpenAI API reference.
Following the list of endpoints/parameters supported.
Note:
- You can also specify the model as part of the OpenAI token.
- If only one model is available, the API will use it for all the requests.
Chat completions
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"model": "ggml-koala-7b-model-q4_0-r2.bin",
"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Say this is a test!"}],
"temperature": 0.7
}'
Available additional parameters: top_p
, top_k
, max_tokens
Edit completions
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/edits -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"model": "ggml-koala-7b-model-q4_0-r2.bin",
"instruction": "rephrase",
"input": "Black cat jumped out of the window",
"temperature": 0.7
}'
Available additional parameters: top_p
, top_k
, max_tokens
.
Completions
To generate a completion, you can send a POST request to the /v1/completions
endpoint with the instruction as per the request body:
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"model": "ggml-koala-7b-model-q4_0-r2.bin",
"prompt": "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away",
"temperature": 0.7
}'
Available additional parameters: top_p
, top_k
, max_tokens
List models
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/models
Embeddings
OpenAI docs: https://platform.openai.com/docs/api-reference/embeddings
The embedding endpoint is experimental and enabled only if the model is configured with embeddings: true
in its yaml
file, for example:
name: text-embedding-ada-002
parameters:
model: bert
embeddings: true
backend: "bert-embeddings"
There is an example available here.
Note: embeddings is supported only with llama.cpp
compatible models and bert
models. bert is more performant and available independently of the LLM model.
Transcriptions endpoint
Note: requires ffmpeg in the container image, which is currently not shipped due to licensing issues. We will prepare separated images with ffmpeg. (stay tuned!)
Download one of the models from https://huggingface.co/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/main in the models
folder, and create a YAML file for your model:
name: whisper-1
backend: whisper
parameters:
model: whisper-en
The transcriptions endpoint then can be tested like so:
wget --quiet --show-progress -O gb1.ogg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1f/George_W_Bush_Columbia_FINAL.ogg
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/audio/transcriptions -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data" -F file="@$PWD/gb1.ogg" -F model="whisper-1"

---|---|
To generate an image you can send a POST request to the /v1/images/generations
endpoint with the instruction as the request body:
# 512x512 is supported too
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/images/generations -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"prompt": "A cute baby sea otter",
"size": "256x256"
}'
Available additional parameters: mode
, step
.
Note: To set a negative prompt, you can split the prompt with |
, for instance: a cute baby sea otter|malformed
.
curl http://localhost:8080/v1/images/generations -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"prompt": "floating hair, portrait, ((loli)), ((one girl)), cute face, hidden hands, asymmetrical bangs, beautiful detailed eyes, eye shadow, hair ornament, ribbons, bowties, buttons, pleated skirt, (((masterpiece))), ((best quality)), colorful|((part of the head)), ((((mutated hands and fingers)))), deformed, blurry, bad anatomy, disfigured, poorly drawn face, mutation, mutated, extra limb, ugly, poorly drawn hands, missing limb, blurry, floating limbs, disconnected limbs, malformed hands, blur, out of focus, long neck, long body, Octane renderer, lowres, bad anatomy, bad hands, text",
"size": "256x256"
}'
Note: image generator supports images up to 512x512. You can use other tools however to upscale the image, for instance: https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl.
Setup
Note: In order to use the images/generation
endpoint, you need to build LocalAI with GO_TAGS=stablediffusion
.
- Create a model file
stablediffusion.yaml
in the models folder:
name: stablediffusion
backend: stablediffusion
asset_dir: stablediffusion_assets
- Create a
stablediffusion_assets
directory inside yourmodels
directory - Download the ncnn assets from https://github.com/EdVince/Stable-Diffusion-NCNN#out-of-box and place them in
stablediffusion_assets
.
The models directory should look like the following:
models
├── stablediffusion_assets
│ ├── AutoencoderKL-256-256-fp16-opt.param
│ ├── AutoencoderKL-512-512-fp16-opt.param

└── stablediffusion.yaml
LocalAI API endpoints
Besides the OpenAI endpoints, there are additional LocalAI-only API endpoints.
Applying a model - /models/apply
This endpoint can be used to install a model in runtime.
LocalAI will create a batch process that downloads the required files from a model definition and automatically reload itself to include the new model.
Input: url
, name
(optional), files
(optional)
curl http://localhost:8080/models/apply -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"url": "<MODEL_DEFINITION_URL>",
"name": "<MODEL_NAME>",
"files": [
{
"uri": "<additional_file>",
"sha256": "<additional_file_hash>",
"filename": "<additional_file_name>"
},
"overrides": { "backend": "...", "f16": true }
]
}
An optional, list of additional files can be specified to be downloaded within files
. The name
allows to override the model name. Finally it is possible to override the model config file with override
.
Returns an uuid
and an url
to follow up the state of the process:
{ "uuid":"251475c9-f666-11ed-95e0-9a8a4480ac58", "status":"http://localhost:8080/models/jobs/251475c9-f666-11ed-95e0-9a8a4480ac58"}
To see a collection example of curated models definition files, see the model-gallery.
Inquiry model job state /models/jobs/<uid>
This endpoint returns the state of the batch job associated to a model
This endpoint can be used with the uuid returned by /models/apply
to check a job state:
curl http://localhost:8080/models/jobs/251475c9-f666-11ed-95e0-9a8a4480ac58
Returns a json containing the error, and if the job is being processed:
{"error":null,"processed":true,"message":"completed"}
Clients
OpenAI clients are already compatible with LocalAI by overriding the basePath, or the target URL.
Javascript
https://github.com/openai/openai-node/
import { Configuration, OpenAIApi } from 'openai';
const configuration = new Configuration({
basePath: `http://localhost:8080/v1`
});
const openai = new OpenAIApi(configuration);
Python
https://github.com/openai/openai-python
Set the OPENAI_API_BASE
environment variable, or by code:
import openai
openai.api_base = "http://localhost:8080/v1"
# create a chat completion
chat_completion = openai.ChatCompletion.create(model="gpt-3.5-turbo", messages=[{"role": "user", "content": "Hello world"}])
# print the completion
print(completion.choices[0].message.content)
Frequently asked questions
Here are answers to some of the most common questions.
How do I get models?
Most ggml-based models should work, but newer models may require additions to the API. If a model doesn't work, please feel free to open up issues. However, be cautious about downloading models from the internet and directly onto your machine, as there may be security vulnerabilities in lama.cpp or ggml that could be maliciously exploited. Some models can be found on Hugging Face: https://huggingface.co/models?search=ggml, or models from gpt4all should also work: https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all.
What's the difference with Serge, or XXX?
LocalAI is a multi-model solution that doesn't focus on a specific model type (e.g., llama.cpp or alpaca.cpp), and it handles all of these internally for faster inference, easy to set up locally and deploy to Kubernetes.
Can I use it with a Discord bot, or XXX?
Yes! If the client uses OpenAI and supports setting a different base URL to send requests to, you can use the LocalAI endpoint. This allows to use this with every application that was supposed to work with OpenAI, but without changing the application!
Can this leverage GPUs?
There is partial GPU support, see build instructions above.
Where is the webUI?
Does it work with AutoGPT?
AutoGPT currently doesn't allow to set a different API URL, but there is a PR open for it, so this should be possible soon!
