Osaurus is a local LLM server for macOS, enabling users to run and manage AI models locally or in the cloud. It supports Apple's foundation models and integrates with tools like Ollama, making it ideal for developers and AI enthusiasts.

Osaurus provides a runtime environment for AI models, allowing users to run and share models locally or via the cloud.

Maturity: The project is actively maintained with frequent updates and a strong GitHub presence, though some issues remain unresolved.
