Joins several devices into one AI cluster so you can run models too big for a single machine's memory. Devices discover each other automatically; there is a dashboard and an API.
Who it is for
For enthusiasts with several computers who want to run a large model at home.
How to start
- Clone it:
git clone https://github.com/exo-explore/exo. - Build the dashboard:
cd exo/dashboard && npm install && npm run build, then in the repo rootuv sync --extra mlx. - Run

The core library for working with models: one codebase for text, vision, audio and multimodal tasks, for both inference and training. Most new open models ship through it.
A self-hosted ChatGPT-style interface that connects to Ollama and any OpenAI-compatible API. Installs with a single Docker command and runs on your own server.
A C/C++ engine that runs language models on ordinary hardware: laptops, phones, GPU-less servers. Much of local AI, Ollama included, is built on it.
Repository of the large open DeepSeek-V3 mixture-of-experts model: description, benchmark results and run instructions. It showed an open model can stand next to closed ones.
The foundation under most modern neural networks: GPU-accelerated tensors and automatic differentiation, wrapped in ordinary Python. Transformers, Llama and nearly every open model are written on it.
