Local Runtimes

11 tools

LocalAI

Open-source, self-hosted inference server compatible with OpenAI APIs; runs local models with automatic backend detection.

Ollama

A self-hosted deployment tool for models like Llama 3.3 and DeepSeek-R1, enabling fast and local AI inference without relying on cloud APIs.

LM Studio

LM Studio is a desktop application that enables users to run local and open large language models (LLMs) on their computer. Available for Mac and Windows, it provides an interface for discovering, downloading, and experimenting with local LLMs.

GPT4All

Local LLM chat ecosystem with desktop apps and plugins (e.g., web search), running models on-device.

GPT4All Web Search Beta

A beta release feature for GPT4All that integrates Brave Search API to enable real-time web search functionality within the GPT4All chat environment. The page provides step-by-step instructions on setting up the feature, obtaining an API key, and configuring the system prompt to allow the Llama 3.1 8B Instruct model to perform web searches.

ClaraVerse

ClaraVerse is a privacy-first, fully local AI workspace that integrates multiple AI functionalities including Ollama LLM chat, tool calling, an agent builder, Stable Diffusion image generation, and n8n-style automation. It is designed to run entirely on your machine without any cloud backend or API keys, ensuring complete data privacy.

GPT4All

GPT4All is an open‐source, private local LLM environment by NOMIC that allows users to run and chat with large language models on their own computer without relying on cloud services. The project provides installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux along with detailed system requirements and hardware recommendations.

GPT4All Web Search Beta Release

This is a beta add-on feature for GPT4All that integrates web search capabilities into the GPT4All Chat application using the Brave Search API. It provides step-by-step instructions on signing up for a Brave Search API Key, configuring the GPT4All tool settings, and testing the integration with the Llama 3.1 8B Instruct model.

GPT4All Web Search Beta Release

A beta feature for GPT4All that enables web search functionality via the Brave Search API. The wiki page provides step-by-step instructions to set up the feature, including signing up for a free Brave API key, configuring the Llama 3.1 8B Instruct model with a custom system prompt, and integrating the API key into GPT4All’s tool settings for live web search queries.

GAIA

GAIA is an open-source framework that rapidly sets up and runs LLM-based generative AI applications on AMD Ryzen AI PCs. It leverages a hybrid hardware approach combining AMD’s Neural Processing Unit (NPU) and Integrated GPU (iGPU) for optimized local LLM processing. The tool provides both CLI and GUI interfaces, specialized agents (such as a Blender agent for 3D content creation and workflow automation), and an optional modern web interface (GAIA UI, known internally as RAUX).

Google AI Edge Gallery

Experimental app to run and explore on-device Generative AI models locally on Android (iOS coming), showcasing use cases without internet once models load.
