**LocalAI** is a drop-in replacement REST API compatible with OpenAI API specifications for local inferencing. It allows to run models locally or on-prem with consumer grade hardware, supporting multiple models families compatible with the `ggml` format. For a list of the supported model families, see [the model compatibility table below](https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI#model-compatibility-table).
**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](https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI#model-compatibility-table).
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](https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI#cublas).
- 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
- Support for prompt templates
- Doesn't shell-out, but uses C++ bindings for a faster inference and better performance.
- NO GPU required. NO Internet access is required either. Optional, GPU Acceleration is available in `llama.cpp`-compatible LLMs. [See building instructions](https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI#cublas).
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](https://github.com/mudler/) at the [SpectroCloud OSS Office](https://github.com/spectrocloud).
LocalAI uses C++ bindings for optimizing speed. It is based on [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp), [gpt4all](https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all), [rwkv.cpp](https://github.com/saharNooby/rwkv.cpp), [ggml](https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml), [whisper.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp) for audio transcriptions, and [bert.cpp](https://github.com/skeskinen/bert.cpp) for embedding.
See [examples on how to integrate LocalAI](https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI/tree/master/examples/).

### How does it work?
<details>
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](https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml), to perform inference on LLMs using both CPU and, if desired, GPU.

## Usage
> `LocalAI` comes by default as a container image. You can check out all the available images with corresponding tags [here](https://quay.io/repository/go-skynet/local-ai?tab=tags&tag=latest).
The easiest way to run LocalAI is by using `docker-compose`:
The easiest way to run LocalAI is by using `docker-compose` (to build locally, see [building LocalAI](https://github.com/go-skynet/LocalAI/tree/master#setup)):

```
</details>
To build locally, run `make build` (see below).
### 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.
<details>
A curated collection of model files is in the [model-gallery](https://github.com/go-skynet/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"
}'
```

## 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.
<details>
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)
```bash
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>",
"name": "<additional_file_name>"
}
]
}
```
An optional, list of additional files can be specified to be downloaded. The `name` allows to override the model name.
Returns an `uuid` and an `url` to follow up the state of the process:
```json
{ "uid":"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](https://github.com/go-skynet/model-gallery).
</details>
### Inquiry model job state `/models/jobs/<uid>`
This endpoint returns the state of the batch job associated to a model
<details>
This endpoint can be used with the uuid returned by `/models/apply` to check a job state:
```bash
curl http://localhost:8080/models/jobs/251475c9-f666-11ed-95e0-9a8a4480ac58
```
Returns a json containing the error, and if the job is being processed:
```json
{"error":null,"processed":true,"message":"completed"}
```
</details>
## Clients
OpenAI clients are already compatible with LocalAI by overriding the basePath, or the target URL.
## Javascript
<details>
https://github.com/openai/openai-node/
```javascript
import { Configuration, OpenAIApi } from 'openai';
const configuration = new Configuration({
basePath: `http://localhost:8080/v1`
});
const openai = new OpenAIApi(configuration);
```
</details>
## Python
<details>
https://github.com/openai/openai-python
Set the `OPENAI_API_BASE` environment variable, or by code:
```python
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)
```
