Xorbits Inference (Xinference)

Xorbits Inference (Xinference) is a versatile, open-source library that simplifies the deployment and serving of language models, speech recognition models, and multimodal models. It empowers developers to replace OpenAI GPT with any open-source model using minimal code changes, supporting cloud, on-premises, and self-hosted setups.

New API

An open-source, next-generation LLM gateway and AI asset management system that unifies various large model APIs (such as OpenAI and Claude) into a standardized interface. It provides a rich UI, multi-language support, online recharge, usage tracking, token grouping, model charging, and configurable reasoning effort, making it suitable for personal and enterprise internal management and distribution.

Text Embeddings Inference

An open-source, high-performance toolkit developed by Hugging Face for deploying and serving text embeddings and sequence classification models. It features dynamic batching, optimized transformers code (via Flash Attention and cuBLASLt), support for multiple model types, and lightweight docker images for fast inference.

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

ai-gateway

ai-gateway is an open-source API gateway that orchestrates AI model requests from multiple providers (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini). It includes features such as guardrails, cost control, custom endpoints, and detailed tracing (using spans), making it a backend tool for managing and routing AI API calls.

OVHcloud AI Endpoints Beta

A beta service from OVHcloud that provides secure, token-authenticated API endpoints to access a curated list of open-source AI models. It allows developers to integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities—including LLMs, vision models, and more—into their applications, leveraging OVHcloud GPU infrastructure and offering detailed usage metrics and documentation.

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.

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 Android (iOS coming) app to run and evaluate generative AI models entirely on-device.
