Star snapshot⭐ 176.5k · 2026-07 snapshot

Open GitHub repo

Why it's picked

The lowest bar for running open models locally: one command brings up Llama, Qwen or DeepSeek, and private data never leaves your machine. Always the first step in testing 'is a local model good enough for this'.

Laojin's advice

Validate your use case on 7B–8B models first — don't pull a 70B and kill your machine. The built-in OpenAI-compatible endpoint means existing code works with a base_url change. Smoothest on Apple Silicon; check each model's license before commercial use.

AllModelsAPIOne key for many models

AllModelsAPI is a multi-model API gateway: one key reaches many models through an OpenAI-compatible interface — point your existing code at a new base URL and you're migrated. It's not a demo: our own production workloads run on it every day.
