Compute
Local AI: open models on your own computer.
Run open models on your own hardware with Ollama: private, free, no rate limits.
What you get
Models run on a computer you own, through the idapt daemon: no third-party AI provider involved, free, and never rate-limited.
Pick a model on its details page and install it on a connected computer. Hardware-fit hints show what runs on GPU vs CPU.
Local models sit beside 200+ cloud models in the same selector. Switch per message; the run tab shows which computer answered.
Force a model to run locally, globally or per model: requests fail with a clear message instead of silently using the cloud.
Install, update, and remove models from the web app; progress streams live and loaded models report back automatically.
Local AI is for hardware you control. idapt-hosted computers ship with it off, because a model on our servers is not private; you can still turn it on per machine from the computer itself.
How it works
- 1Pair a computer
Install the idapt daemon on a machine you own and pair it: your laptop, workstation, or GPU box.
- 2Install a model
Open any self-hostable model and install it on your computer in a click. idapt manages Ollama for you.
- 3Chat locally
Pick the model in chat. It runs on your hardware: free, no rate limits, no third-party AI provider.
- 4Tune routing
Optionally set 'use local only' globally or per model for a hard guarantee: no silent cloud routing.
