codex-desktop
github.comAn unofficial, community-built Linux packaging of OpenAI's official ChatGPT desktop app, repackaging the signed macOS-derived Linux payload into deb, RPM, pacman, AppImage and Nix builds.
ClaraVerse
claraverse.spaceA privacy-focused, self-hosted AI workspace combining chat, a multi-agent team feature with human review, a visual workflow builder and Telegram integration, running on a user's own infrastructure and model choice.
Nunchaku
nunchux.aiA high-performance inference engine for 4-bit diffusion models, based on the SVDQuant quantization method, supporting FLUX and Qwen-Image models with ComfyUI integration.
ZML
zml.aiA production inference stack that compiles a single model codebase to run on NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, TPU, or Trainium hardware without rewriting it for each accelerator.
LightLLM
github.comA lightweight, Python-based inference and serving framework for large language models, built to be easy to scale and extend by drawing on techniques from FasterTransformer, TGI, vLLM and FlashAttention.
OptiLLM
github.comAn OpenAI API-compatible inference proxy that applies more than 20 published inference-time techniques, such as mixture-of-agents and Monte Carlo tree search, to improve LLM accuracy on reasoning tasks without retraining.
OpenVINO Toolkit - Open Model Zoo
docs.openvino.aiA collection of optimized, pre-trained deep-learning models and demo applications for the OpenVINO Toolkit, intended to speed up development of high-performance inference applications instead of training models from scratch.
llm-d
llm-d.aiA Kubernetes-native, distributed inference-serving stack, backed by Red Hat, Google Cloud, IBM Research, CoreWeave and NVIDIA, that adds routing, KV-cache management and autoscaling on top of model servers such as vLLM and SGLang.
CTranslate2
opennmt.netA C++ and Python library for efficient inference with Transformer models on CPU and GPU, using weight quantization, layer fusion and batch reordering to cut memory use and increase speed.
Thunderbolt
thunderbolt.ioAn open-source, self-hostable AI chat client that can be deployed on premises across desktop, web and mobile, letting a team pick and switch model providers instead of depending on one vendor.
ExecuTorch
executorch.aiPyTorch's open-source stack for running AI models locally on phones, wearables, laptops, browsers, embedded systems and microcontrollers.
Text Embeddings Inference
github.comA toolkit for deploying and serving open-source text-embedding and sequence-classification models, supporting popular families such as FlagEmbedding, GTE and E5.
Magnitude
magnitude.devAn open-source inference engine that profiles a user's own hardware, recommends the best open models for it, and tunes them for that exact machine, running on Apple Silicon, NVIDIA, AMD or CPU-only setups.
5ire
5ire.appA cross-platform desktop AI assistant and MCP client that connects to major model providers, supports a local knowledge base, and lets a user install tools built as MCP servers.
MLX-VLM
github.comA package for running inference and fine-tuning Vision Language Models, including omni models with audio and video support, on Apple Silicon Macs using MLX.
Recursive Language Models
arxiv.orgAn inference library for Recursive Language Models, a task-agnostic paradigm that lets a language model programmatically examine, decompose and recursively call itself over near-infinite-length contexts.
llama-swap
github.comA model-swapping proxy that runs multiple local AI models and hot-swaps between them on demand, working with any OpenAI or Anthropic API compatible server.
GPUStack
gpustack.aiAn open-source GPU cluster manager that configures and orchestrates inference engines such as vLLM and SGLang, and lets a team launch SSH-accessible GPU instances on demand.
Lemonade
lemonade-server.aiA local AI server that runs large language, speech and image-generation models on a user's own GPU or NPU, exposing OpenAI, Anthropic and Ollama-compatible APIs at no cost.
Shimmy
github.comA single-binary, OpenAI-API-compatible local inference server for GGUF models, built entirely in Rust on the project's own WebGPU transformer engine, Airframe.
KServe
kserve.github.ioA standardized, distributed inference platform for deploying both generative and predictive AI models at scale on Kubernetes, incubating under the CNCF.
Enchanted
github.comAn open-source, Ollama-compatible macOS, iOS, and visionOS app for chatting with privately hosted language models such as Llama 2, Mistral, or Vicuna.
Cactus
github.comA hybrid edge-cloud inference engine for running language, vision-language, and speech models directly on mobile devices and wearables.
DeepChat
deepchat.thinkinai.xyzAn open-source, local-first desktop client for AI agents that brings chat, tool use, Skills, and Agent Client Protocol support into one Electron application.
