Reviewed resources in Inference. 770 resources listed.
apfel
apfel.franzai.comA command-line tool, OpenAI-compatible server, and chat REPL that expose the language model already built into Apple Intelligence on Apple Silicon Macs.
Laya-MLX
pypi.orgA native Apple Silicon MLX runtime for Laya's typed decision models, answering short structured questions in single-digit milliseconds with no text generation.
FlashInfer
flashinfer.aiA kernel library and generator for LLM inference that provides unified, high-performance attention, GEMM, and mixture-of-experts kernels across GPU backends.
LiteRT-LM
ai.google.devGoogle's open-source orchestration layer for running large language models on edge devices, built for cross-platform, hardware-accelerated on-device inference.
Mooncake
kvcache-ai.github.ioA KV-cache-centric, disaggregated serving architecture for large language models, developed as the platform behind Moonshot AI's Kimi service.
whichllm
github.comA command-line tool that detects a machine's GPU, CPU, and RAM, then ranks which local language models actually run well on it using live benchmark data.
LLMLingua
github.comA research toolkit that compresses LLM prompts and key-value caches by removing non-essential tokens, reporting up to 20x compression with little quality loss.
TurboFieldfare
github.comA custom Swift and Metal runtime that runs the 26-billion-parameter Gemma 4 26B-A4B model in about 2 GB of RAM on any Apple Silicon Mac, including 8 GB models.
ODS
github.comA self-hosted deployment system that installs and wires together a private AI server, combining local model inference, a chat web UI, automation, and search.
vLLM-Omni
docs.vllm.aiAn inference framework built on vLLM that extends serving to omni-modality models covering text, image, audio, and video generation and understanding.
MLX LM
github.comA Python package for generating text with and fine-tuning large language models on Apple silicon using Apple's MLX framework.
stable-diffusion.cpp
github.comA pure C/C++ implementation, based on ggml, for running diffusion image, image-editing and video generation models such as Stable Diffusion, Flux, Wan and Qwen Image on the CPU or GPU with no external dependencies.
mistral.rs
github.comA fast, flexible LLM inference engine in Rust, with an agentic runtime, OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible serving, and Rust and Python SDKs.
RikkaHub
rikka-ai.comA native Android chat client that lets a user switch between multiple LLM providers, with Material You design, a workspace agent environment and MCP support.
LMDeploy
lmdeploy.readthedocs.ioA toolkit for compressing, deploying and serving large language and vision-language models, with a TurboMind inference engine and PyTorch-based engine support.
Dynamo
docs.nvidia.comAn open-source, datacenter-scale inference orchestration layer that coordinates SGLang, TensorRT-LLM or vLLM across multiple GPUs and nodes with disaggregated serving and KV-aware routing.
GPTCache
gptcache.readthedocs.ioA library for building a semantic cache of LLM responses, so repeated or similar queries are served from cache instead of the model, cutting API cost and latency.
Page Assist
chromewebstore.google.comAn open-source browser extension that adds a sidebar and web UI for interacting with locally running AI models from any webpage, including chatting about the page's own content.
GenieX
geniex.aihub.qualcomm.comAn on-device generative AI inference runtime for Qualcomm Snapdragon devices, running GGUF or pre-compiled models on the Hexagon NPU, Adreno GPU or CPU.
PocketPal AI
github.comA free, open-source mobile app that runs language models entirely on-device, so chats, voice and tool use never leave the phone.
bitsandbytes
github.comA PyTorch library that enables accessible large language models through 8-bit and 4-bit quantization, cutting memory use for inference and training.
kimi-k3-in-c
medium.comA portable C99 inference engine that runs the 2.78-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 model on a single CPU with no GPU, BLAS library or ML framework.
BentoML
github.comA Python library for building online model-serving systems, turning inference scripts into REST APIs with Docker packaging and serving optimizations.
Noi
noib.appA cross-platform desktop app for organizing multiple AI chat sessions side by side, with prompt management, session isolation and a CLI controllable from coding agents.
