Your Local AI Homestead
Homestead is a professional-grade, unified model orchestrator and agentic gateway for on-device inference. Designed with an "Open Core" philosophy, Homestead detects, registers, indexes, and serves models spanning major engines like Ollama, llama.cpp, MLX, and Apple Core AI.
Rather than treating each inference program as a silo, Homestead aggregates all your local model files, registries, and runtime state into a single robust SQLite database, instantly exposing an OpenAI-compatible API and a high-density, material dashboard.
Our Core Mission
To empower developers, enterprises, and sovereign agents with absolute control over their local computational assets. Achieve full privacy, verifiable data compliance, zero-dependency latency, and multi-engine orchestration from a single tool.
Why Homestead?
Unified Model Catalog
Zero-config discovery automatically aggregates models from your Ollama registries, HuggingFace hubs, local filesystem directories, and running background servers.
Dynamic Engine Adapters
Selects the optimal runtime (Ollama, llama.cpp, Swift-MLX) for any given architecture, quantization, or hardware specification seamlessly under the hood.
Sovereign Audit Trail
Maintains a cryptographic record of every prompt, response, system error, model load, and context compression to verify that no data leaves the local machine.
Agentic Control Plane
A streamlined, scriptable CLI built alongside a modern Server-Sent Events (SSE) stream to orchestrate workflows directly inside codebases or CI/CD pipelines.
