**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.
