The easiest way to run an open model on your own machine: one command downloads and starts it, plus a local REST API and libraries for Python and JavaScript.

sglang
A fast engine for serving language and multimodal models. A vLLM rival, especially strong on large models like DeepSeek.
Who it is for
For engineers choosing an engine for production inference.
How to start
- Install:
uv pip install --prerelease=allow sglangor use the imagedocker pull lmsysorg/sglang:latest. - Open the Quickstart in the docs and launch your first model.
- Find a ready launch command for your model and hardware in the Cookbook.
Steps are taken from the README. Check the current version in the repository before running them.

SGLang is a high-performance serving framework for large language models and multimodal models.
More in «Open models & inference»
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.
