Overview

LocalAI is a free open source drop in replacement for the OpenAI API that runs inference on your own hardware without a GPU. It serves OpenAI compatible chat, completions, embeddings and models endpoints with a built in web UI.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg preinstalls LocalAI as a service with a small instruct model pre pulled, so the API and web UI work on boot behind an authenticating nginx proxy. A fresh API key and admin password are generated on first boot with no default login, the models directory sits on a dedicated resizable disk, and 24/7 support is included.

Common uses

  • Local LLM inference
  • OpenAI compatible API
  • Embeddings generation
