Replace the OpenAI API with a 100% French instance

Text, images, audio, embeddings : LocalAI is the drop-in replacement for the OpenAI API, installed on French GPUs and maintained by DINAO. A single private API for all generative AI — without sending any data overseas.

Overview

What is LocalAI?

LocalAI is a free and local alternative to OpenAI and Anthropic: a "small composable AI stack" that runs language models, agents, and document intelligence on your own hardware, without cloud dependency. It runs on consumer-grade hardware and does not require a GPU.

Its main advantage: it is a direct (drop-in) replacement for the OpenAI API. Applications and libraries already written for OpenAI work simply by pointing to LocalAI, while remaining 100% local. It supports LLM inference, image and audio generation, multiple model families, and multiple backends.

LocalAI integrates with LocalAGI (autonomous no-code agents) and LocalRecall (memory and semantic search). Installation is available via Docker, Kubernetes, or binaries. The project is open source under the MIT license.

🧠

This application uses AI

The container hosts the application, not the AI engine (which requires dedicated GPUs) : inference is handled externally, with your own provider key. Prioritize a sovereign engine — Mistral AI, NumSpot, Scaleway, or OVHcloud AI Endpoints (France, GDPR) ; an international provider (OpenAI, Anthropic…) only if a specific capability requires it. Inference subscriptions are not included in hosting.

FAQ

You might be wondering…

What can LocalAI do?

LocalAI covers all generative AI : text generation, images (Stable Diffusion), audio transcription and synthesis (Whisper, TTS), and embeddings. All via a single OpenAI-compatible API.

Will my OpenAI applications work?

Yes. LocalAI is a drop-in replacement: you change the base URL and key, and your /chat, /images, /audio, and /embeddings calls work without modifying your code.

Where is the data hosted?

On the DINAO GPU infrastructure in France, in one of the available datacenters. Your queries and generated content do not leave the territory.

Do I need technical skills?

To integrate the API, some development knowledge is useful. DINAO manages installation, GPU, models, and updates. You can also connect a graphical interface on top.

Can I change plans or models?

Yes. You can upgrade at any time and install models from the gallery according to your needs — no proprietary lock-in.
