LocalAI

LocalAI is the open-source, self-hosted AI inference engine that acts as a drop-in replacement for the OpenAI and Anthropic REST APIs. A single Go binary (or container) exposes 123 HTTP operations across chat completions, completions, embeddings, image and video generation, 3D generation, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, audio classification and diarization, object detection, depth estimation, reranking, moderation, tokenization, face and voice recognition, and the OpenAI Realtime API over WebSocket and WebRTC — all running locally on CPU or GPU with no external API calls and no data leaving the host. Beyond OpenAI parity, LocalAI ships its own management surface: a model and backend gallery, P2P and federated distributed inference, an agent/job runtime with a Skills system and Agent Hub, request middleware for NER-based PII redaction and policy-based intelligent model routing, tracing, per-user usage accounting, and a first-party stdio MCP server (`local-ai mcp-server`) that exposes the admin surface as agent tools. Authentication spans legacy shared API keys through a full user system with roles, sessions, GitHub OAuth and OIDC single sign-on. Distributed under the MIT licence by Ettore Di Giacinto (mudler) and community contributors.

LocalAI publishes 26 APIs on the APIs.io network, including 3d API, Agent Jobs API, Audio API, and 23 more. Tagged areas include Artificial Intelligence, Machine-Learning, Large Language Models, Inference, and Self-Hosted.

The LocalAI catalog on APIs.io includes 1 event-driven AsyncAPI specification.

LocalAI’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, support, engineering blog, changelog, authentication, and 28 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/localai: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
