Jeffser/Alpaca

🦙 Local and online AI hub

What it solves

Alpaca provides a beginner-friendly graphical interface for interacting with local AI models via Ollama, removing the need to use command-line tools to manage and chat with models.

How it works

It acts as a client for Ollama, allowing users to pull, delete, and chat with local models. It also supports cloud-hosted models (like ChatGPT and Gemini) through OpenAI-compatible APIs using the user's own API keys.

Who it’s for

Users who want an easy way to run local AI on their computers or manage multiple AI providers in a single open-source application.

Highlights

  • Talk to multiple models within a single conversation.
  • Image, document (plain text), and website recognition.
  • YouTube recognition via video transcripts.
  • Integrated script execution and web search integration.
  • Import and export chat histories.
