Run a selected language model on your own computer.

Useful when you want a local model workflow and can manage model downloads and memory use. Select a local model and check the current documentation; hosted/cloud features have separate behavior.

The runtime MIT license does not grant rights to every model. Check each model license and keep the service private unless you deliberately secure network access. Generated answers require verification.

Install from the official download page.

Choose a local model whose license and size fit your task.

Test with public sample text before sensitive material.
