local-llm

Ollama

A command-line tool and background service for downloading and running open language models locally, with a built-in model library and an OpenAI-compatible local API.

ollama/ollama

If the local-LLM promise is 'no subscription, no data leaving the machine', this is the shortest path from install to first prompt.

Open WebUI

A self-hosted web interface for running and chatting with language models through an Ollama-compatible API, with conversation history and multi-user support.

open-webui/open-webui

A private, ChatGPT-shaped interface over models that run on your own machine — useful when the model is local but the workflow is not.

llama.cpp

A C++ inference engine that runs large language models locally from quantized GGUF files, on CPU, Apple Silicon or a consumer GPU.

ggml-org/llama.cpp

The cheapest way to run a serious model is a quantized one on hardware you already own — and this is the engine that makes that possible on a mid-range machine.

ai-coding-tool

Cline

An autonomous coding agent that works inside VS Code: it plans, writes and runs code in your editor, with your approval at each step.

cline/cline

An agent that can plan and execute, but only with your approval at each step — autonomy with the brake attached.

ide-extension

Continue

An open-source AI code assistant for VS Code and JetBrains that connects to any model — local or hosted — for chat, edits and autocomplete.

continuedev/continue

The assistant stays inside the editor you already use, and the model choice — local included — stays yours.

cli

whisper.cpp

A C++ port of OpenAI's Whisper speech-to-text model that transcribes audio locally and quickly, including on ordinary CPUs.

ggml-org/whisper.cpp

Transcription is one of the few AI tasks that still works well entirely on a CPU — no GPU budget required.

Aider

A pair-programming tool that runs in your terminal and edits your repository directly, with git-aware commits, across many language models.

Aider-AI/aider

Pair programming that never sees a cloud bill, and every change arrives as a reviewable git commit.

OpenCode (Go archive)

A Go-based terminal AI coding agent with a Bubble Tea TUI, multi-provider model support, MCP tools, and LSP diagnostics. Archived by the owner in September 2025; the work continues as Crush.

opencode-ai/opencode

This is the original Go OpenCode, not the active Anomaly project of the same name covered under Tools. It stays listed so the lineage is documented and nobody mistakes the archived repo for the maintained tool.

LiteLLM

A proxy that exposes more than a hundred language models behind one OpenAI-compatible API, with per-key budgets and cost tracking.

BerriAI/litellm

One endpoint to rule many providers: switch models without rewriting the app, and see what each call actually costs.
