LocalAI hosting
A drop-in OpenAI replacement for text, images, audio and embeddings.
LocalAI hosting at AIHostBox means a dedicated, single-tenant LocalAI instance on our infrastructure: we install it, pin it to a reviewed release, put it behind TLS on your domain, back it up nightly and keep it patched. Plans start at $16.99 per month and the admin account, the data and any API keys are yours.
LocalAI implements the OpenAI API surface — chat, embeddings, transcription, image generation and text-to-speech — over local model backends. Applications that already speak OpenAI can be pointed at it by changing one base URL, which makes it the shortest path from a paid API to self-hosted inference.
LocalAI hosting plans
Every plan is a dedicated single-tenant instance with NVMe storage, nightly off-box backups, TLS and managed patching. Quarterly, semi-annual and annual terms are discounted at checkout. Model tokens are not included — you bring your own key.
What people run LocalAI for
Swap out a paid API
Change the base URL in an existing app and keep the same client code.
One endpoint, several modalities
Text, embeddings and transcription from a single service.
