llmfit is a Rust-based terminal tool that matches over 200 LLM models from 30+ providers against your exact hardware specs. The interactive TUI scores each model on fit, speed, VRAM usage, and context length, helping you avoid downloading models that won't run on your machine. It supports Ollama, llama.cpp, MLX, Docker Model Runner, and LM Studio backends.

Google AI Edge Gallery is an open-source mobile app that lets you download and run large language models like Gemma directly on Android and iOS devices with zero cloud dependency. Built on MediaPipe and LiteRT, it features AI chat with reasoning mode, multimodal image analysis, real-time audio transcription, and autonomous agent skills—all running entirely on-device for complete privacy. A reference implementation for developers building offline-first AI experiences.

RamaLama is an open-source tool that containerizes AI model inference using Podman or Docker, eliminating host system configuration complexity. It auto-detects GPUs (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Apple Silicon), pulls models from HuggingFace, Ollama, and OCI registries, and runs them in isolated rootless containers with read-only mounts and network isolation. Developed under the Containers project (Red Hat ecosystem), it brings familiar container workflows to local LLM serving.
