#### 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-server pull` / `lemonade-server 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>

**Documentation:** <https://lemonade-server.ai/>
