Local AI server with OpenAI-compatible API

Lemonade is a local AI server that provides cloud-API-equivalent capabilities (chat, coding, speech, image generation) running 100% locally on your own hardware. It exposes OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama-compatible APIs on localhost:13305, connectable to hundreds of apps.

Features:

  • OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama-compatible APIs (chat completions, embeddings, etc.)
  • Multi-modal inference: LLMs, speech-to-text, text-to-speech, audio generation, image generation, and 3D generation
  • Automatic backend selection based on available hardware — CUDA, ROCm, Vulkan, NPU, and CPU backends download on demand
  • 77+ built-in models (GGUF, FLM, ONNX) with lemonade pull / lemonade list for model management
  • Cloud offload: route inference to OpenAI-compatible providers alongside local models
  • MCP (Model Context Protocol) client and server support
  • Built-in Prometheus metrics endpoint
  • Runs as a background service with auto-restart on failure

Supported Hardware:

  • AMD GPUs: RDNA2/3/4 (RX 6000/7000/9000), Strix Point/Halo APUs, Instinct MI100/MI200/MI300X/MI350X via ROCm
  • AMD XDNA2 NPUs (Ryzen AI) for LLM and speech inference
  • NVIDIA GPUs: Turing (sm_75) and newer via CUDA (Ampere, Ada Lovelace, Hopper, Blackwell)
  • Cross-vendor GPUs via Vulkan (AMD, NVIDIA, Intel, Qualcomm Adreno on ARM64)
  • CPU fallback for systems without GPU acceleration
  • Both amd64 (x86_64) and arm64 (aarch64) architectures

Quick Start: The server starts automatically after installation. Access the API at: http://localhost:13305/api/v1
