Private local AI with a CPU-first baseline

LocalBox lets you run AI language models locally on your computer and chat with them through a simple browser interface. Your prompts and responses are processed on your machine.

Download a supported GGUF model, launch LocalBox, and start chatting. LocalBox includes a llama.cpp CPU runtime and a local OpenAI-compatible API for connecting other applications.

Features

  • Local AI chat in your browser
  • CPU-first inference with no dedicated GPU required
  • Built-in model downloading and checksum verification
  • Hardware-aware configuration recommendations
  • Local model storage
  • An OpenAI-compatible API

Requirements

  • An x86_64 (amd64) computer
  • At least 4 GiB RAM for the Lite model; 8 GiB recommended
  • Additional memory and disk space for larger models
  • Internet access to download models

Models are downloaded separately. Performance depends on your processor, available memory, model, and context size. Keep LocalBox running while using its browser interface.
