🍋 Lemonade: Refreshingly fast local AI
Lemonade is the local AI server that gives you the same capabilities as cloud APIs, except 100% free and private. Use the latest models for chat, coding, speech, and image generation on your own NPU and GPU.
Lemonade comes in two flavors:
- Lemonade Server installs a service you can connect to hundreds of great apps using standard OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama APIs.
- Embeddable Lemonade is a portable binary you can package into your own application to give it multi-modal local AI that auto-optimizes for your user’s PC.
This project is built by the community for every PC, with optimizations by AMD engineers to get the most from Ryzen AI, Radeon, and Strix Halo PCs.
