AI Runner is an interface which allows you to run open-source large language models (LLM) and AI image generators (Stable Diffusion) on your own hardware.
It is designed to be easy to use, with a simple and intuitive interface that allows you to run AI models without the need for a web server or cloud service.
It has been optimized for speed and efficiency, allowing you to generate images and have conversations with chatbots in real-time.

There are several ways to get started with AI Runner such as packaged, from source and as a library.
Detailed packaging and installation instructions can be found in the wiki.
Installation
pip install airunner
Running
airunner
AI Runner installs all of the models required to run a chatbot with text-to-speech and speech-to-text capabilities, as well as the core models required for Stable Diffusion. However, you must supply your own art generator models.
You can download models from Huggingface.co or civitai.com.
The supported Stable Diffusion models are:
Models must be placed in their respective directories in the airunner directory.
~/.local/share/airunner

Run all unit tests

python -m unittest src/airunner/tests/test_prompt_weight_convert.py
Although AI Runner v3.0 is built with Huggingface libraries, we have taken care to strip the application of any telemetry or tracking features.
Only the setup wizard needs access to the internet in order to download the required models.
For more information see the Darklock and Facehuggershield libraries.
Write access for the transformers library has been disabled, preventing it from creating a huggingface cache directory at runtime.
The application itself may still access the disc for reading and writing, however we have restricted
reads and writes to the user provided airunner directory (by default this is located at ~/.local/share/airunner).
All other attempts to access the disc are blocked and logged for your review.
For more information see src/security/restrict_os_access.py.
Huggingface Hub contains telemetry and tracking features that have been completely disabled in AI Runner.
The security measures taken for this library are as follows
See Facehuggershield for more information.
