What is Locally AI?

Locally AI is a specialized application designed to run advanced open-source artificial intelligence models directly on Apple hardware, including iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Developed to prioritize user privacy and data sovereignty, the tool allows users to interact with models like Meta's Llama, Google's Gemma, and DeepSeek without an internet connection. By leveraging Apple Silicon and the MLX framework, it provides high-performance inference that remains entirely on-device, ensuring no data ever leaves the user's control. The platform is ideal for developers, researchers, and privacy-conscious individuals who need a reliable AI assistant that works offline and requires no account or subscription to start. It integrates deeply with the Apple ecosystem, offering features like Siri support, Shortcuts automation, and Control Center access. As the project joins forces with LM Studio, it continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with local machine learning on mobile and desktop devices.
