About Foundry Local
Foundry Local runs language models directly on a computer using the device’s hardware. It provides an API compatible with the OpenAI request format, allowing applications designed for that interface to connect to locally hosted models. The evidence describes hardware acceleration as available and says data processing stays on the device. This can support local model experimentation or development without sending prompts to a hosted model service. The supplied description does not specify model sizes, hardware requirements, or which APIs and features are supported. Performance and model availability depend on the computer’s hardware and the models installed. Hardware acceleration and an API-compatible interface are included.
