Local AI Tools

Overview

This section tracks local-first AI applications and tooling: software that runs models entirely on the user’s own hardware rather than calling a cloud API. The current focus is local voice AI (TTS/STT/voice cloning), with room to expand into local chat/LLM front-ends, image generation studios, and the inference runtimes underneath them (Ollama, llama.cpp, LM Studio) as entries are added.
