Download and run AI models on your own computer.
Running models locally uses your own hardware without an Ollama subscription. Cloud Free includes starter credits and paid usage credits are available; Pro is USD 20/month or USD 200/year and Max is USD 100/month, with included usage and concurrency limits. Unused included credits do not roll over. Model rates and other plans are separate.
Run compatible AI models locally with a bundled browser chat.
The MIT runtime and bundled local web chat have no required software subscription or paid inference API. Supply your own compatible hardware and a separately licensed model. Device memory, storage, electricity and any rented compute or cloud connections cost separately.
Serve language models through an inference engine designed for throughput and efficient resource use.
The Apache-2.0 serving software is free. Models, GPU hardware, electricity, storage and cloud compute have separate terms and costs. Installing the runtime does not include a hosted inference allowance.
Download a compatible AI model and chat on your computer.
The documented desktop workflow downloads and runs compatible models locally. You supply hardware, model downloads, storage and electricity; each model retains its own license. Remote providers are separate. This review establishes the local workflow, not a current license check for the earlier Phi-3 model example.
Self-hosted AI runtime for text, voice, vision, and agents.
The LocalAI repository edition is available under MIT with documented installation or build instructions and no required source-license subscription. Your server, storage, backups and administration remain your costs. External model/API usage is billed by its provider; no model allowance is included. This check covers that source edition; managed services, premium extensions and commercial relicensing, if offered, are not included or price-verified.
Chat with AI on your computer, including offline models.
Jan Desktop is offered as a free local app. Your device, electricity, storage and downloaded model licenses are separate; optional cloud model providers have their own API charges.
