#5 in Run AI on your own computer

I'd try it if you want local and online models side by side. It runs local models through Ollama, llama.cpp or MLX, and the free plan covers the basics.

What’s good

Local and online models side by side
Works with Ollama, llama.cpp and MLX
Mac (Apple and Intel), Windows, Linux
