🤖 Cortex: Local AI API Platform With Cortex, you can run and customize AI models locally on your device or server. We're launching the preview of Cortex, our journey to implement a local version of the OpenAI API Platform. Web: https://cortex.so/ - Straightforward CLI (inspired by Ollama) - Full C++ implementation, packageable into Desktop and Mobile apps - Pull from Hugging Face or from Built-in Model Library - Swappable Engines (default: Georgi Gerganov's llama.cpp, future: ONNX Runtime, NVIDIA's TensorRT-LLM) - Models stored in universal file formats (vs. blobs) Cortex's roadmap is to implement the full OpenAI API including Tools, Runs, Multi-modal and Realtime APIs. Jan will use Cortex as a backend, as we implement a local alternative to "Advanced Voice Mode" (i.e. Realtime API running Speech models, such as 🍓 Ichigo). - Give it a try: https://cortex.so/ - Source Code: https://lnkd.in/gTbYCwQV - API Reference: https://lnkd.in/gJXhazPf - Community: https://lnkd.in/gSsDU8cB
