Show HN: AI Runner is now Apache 2.0

1 point

a year ago

Hi all - I created AI Runner a couple of years ago because I wanted my own interface for running local AI models. It is built in pure python using pyside6.

With v3.3.0 I have decided to move to a less restrictive license (from GPL 3 to Apache 2.0).

AI Runner allows you to easily get up and running with AI art models, LLMs text-to-speech and speech-to-text. You can have real-time conversations with customizable chatbots that have moods and emotions. The chatbots learn about you over time and respond appropriately. You can also provide your zipcode and weather data will be inserted into the system prompt. They also know about the date and time.

Its possible to use AI Runner as a Python library as well. I'm currently working to expand the library to allow API support for services like OpenAI, OpenRouter (already have partial support) and Grok so that you can run your LLM in the cloud if you'd prefer that.

The project is actively maintained. I have been working to update the wiki and to clean up some of the more painful decisions I made with the code.
