A local runtime that bundles model weights and an OpenAI-compatible server so you can run and chat with open models on a laptop or server.

Strengths

  • Huge model library and OpenAI-compatible API

Tradeoffs

  • Less throughput than dedicated serving engines
  • Local hardware limits model size
