NobodyWho
nobodywho.aiAn on-device inference engine for running LLMs locally and efficiently on any device, with bindings for Godot, Kotlin, Swift, React Native, Flutter and Python.
BrowserAI
browserai.devA JavaScript SDK that runs large language models, speech recognition, text-to-speech and audio separation directly inside the browser using WebGPU, with no server required.
Personal AI Computer
autonomous.aiAn open-source hardware guide, with parts lists, CAD and assembly photos, for building your own local machine to run large language models instead of renting inference from a cloud provider.
Laya-CoreML
github.comA Core ML and Apple Neural Engine port of the Laya typed-decision model, which answers structured choice, ordinal-score and yes/no questions in a few milliseconds without generating text tokens.
llama.vscode
github.comA VS Code extension that adds local, LLM-assisted code completion, chat and an agentic coding assistant backed by llama.cpp.
ExLlamaV3
github.comAn inference and quantization library for running large language models locally on consumer GPUs, with its own EXL3 quantization format and flexible parallel inference.
GuideLLM
vllm-project.github.ioAn SLO-aware benchmarking platform that simulates realistic workloads against OpenAI-compatible and vLLM-native servers to measure LLM deployment latency, throughput and capacity limits.
Wally
github.comA command-line tool for downloading and running open-source language models such as GLM, DeepSeek and Qwen locally, or on hosted infrastructure when a job needs more capacity.
xLLM
xllm-ai.comA high-performance inference engine for LLM, VLM, DiT and REC models, optimized for Chinese AI accelerators and donated to the OpenAtom Foundation.
vllm-mlx
vllm-mlx.is-a.devA vLLM-style inference server for Apple Silicon that adds continuous batching, paged and prefix KV caching, and both OpenAI and Anthropic-compatible APIs in one process.
Advanced Quantization Toolkit for LLMs
github.comAn Intel post-training quantization toolkit that compresses large language and vision-language models to two to four bits with minimal accuracy loss, using sign-gradient descent.
Atomic Chat
atomic.chatA local desktop and mobile app that runs open-weight LLMs offline and exposes them through a drop-in, OpenAI-compatible local API for agents, CLIs and IDE plugins.
Alpaca
jeffser.comA beginner-friendly GNOME desktop client for chatting with local Ollama models or third-party providers such as Gemini and ChatGPT, with image and document recognition.
mlx-serve — run any LLM on your Mac
mlxserve.comA native Zig inference server for Apple Silicon that serves MLX and GGUF models behind OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs, alongside image, video, speech and 3D generation.
Claude Desktop (Tauri Edition)
github.comAn unofficial, community desktop client for chatting with Claude and other LLM providers, built with Tauri, Rust and React, with local chat history, MCP tools and multi-agent orchestration.
HyperQwen
github.comA patched vLLM serving setup and requantization pipeline that runs a large Qwen model on a single consumer GPU, with an OpenAI-compatible API in single-user or batch modes.
React Native ExecuTorch
docs.swmansion.comAn on-device AI inference library for React Native, built on Meta's ExecuTorch runtime, that runs machine learning models on a phone with no network calls.
InferenceX
inferencex.comAn open-source, continuously updated benchmark research platform that tracks real-world inference performance of popular open-source serving frameworks such as vLLM, SGLang and TensorRT-LLM across current GPU hardware and models.
vLLM Metal
docs.vllm.aiA community-maintained vLLM hardware plugin that runs high-performance LLM inference on Apple Silicon Macs using MLX as the compute backend.
TurboQuant
github.comA KV-cache compression method for LLM inference that quantizes cached keys to 3 bits and values to 2 bits using Triton kernels, integrated with vLLM to cut memory use and raise usable context length.
Local Studio
localstudio.aiA local-first control panel for running and managing self-hosted LLM backends such as vLLM, SGLang, llama.cpp and ExLlamaV3, with GPU monitoring, an OpenAI-compatible chat proxy, and agent sessions against local or remote controllers.
Neo Chat
neo.u14.appA local-first, self-hostable AI chat workspace that brings multi-model chat, an agent mode for multi-step tool workflows, and deep research with reviewable plans into one app, keeping conversation history in the browser by default.
Ollama App
github.comA cross-platform client app for Ollama that connects to an existing Ollama server over its API, without hosting a model server on the device itself.
uzu
trymirai.comA high-performance, cross-language inference engine that runs AI models directly inside an app with low latency, full data privacy and no per-inference API cost, using unified memory on Apple devices.
