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.
