**LocalAI** is a drop-in replacement REST API that’s compatible with OpenAI API specifications for local inferencing. It allows you to run LLMs (and not only) locally or on-prem with consumer grade hardware, supporting multiple model families that are compatible with the ggml format. Does not require GPU.

**LocalAI** is a drop-in replacement REST API that's compatible with OpenAI API specifications for local inferencing. It allows you to run LLMs (and not only) locally or on-prem with consumer grade hardware, supporting multiple model families that are compatible with the ggml format. Does not require GPU.
For a list of the supported model families, please see [the model compatibility table](https://localai.io/model-compatibility/index.html#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://localai.io/basics/build/index.html).
- 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.
- NO GPU required. NO Internet access is required either
- Optional, GPU Acceleration is available in `llama.cpp`-compatible LLMs. See also the [build section](https://localai.io/basics/build/index.html).
- Supports multiple models:
- 🗣 Text to Audio 🎺🆕
- 🔈 Audio to Text (Audio transcription with `whisper.cpp`)
- 📖 Text generation with GPTs (`llama.cpp`, `gpt4all.cpp`, ... and more)
- 🎨 Image generation with stable diffusion
- 🏃 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.
