**LocalAI** is the free, Open Source OpenAI alternative. LocalAI act as a drop-in replacement REST API that’s compatible with OpenAI (Elevenlabs, Anthropic... ) API specifications for local AI inferencing. It allows you to run LLMs, generate images, audio (and not only) locally or on-prem with consumer grade hardware, supporting multiple model families. Does not require GPU.

For those in a hurry, here's a straightforward one-liner to launch a LocalAI AIO(All-in-one) Image using `docker`:

```bash
docker run -ti --name local-ai -p 8080:8080 localai/localai:latest-aio-cpu
# or, if you have an Nvidia GPU:
# docker run -ti --name local-ai -p 8080:8080 --gpus all localai/localai:latest-aio-gpu-nvidia-cuda-12
```
