Run open-source LLMs locally on your own laptop, fully offline
Search Hugging Face repositories from inside the app and pull compatible model files without touching a terminal.
Models run on your local GPU and CPU, so prompts and data never leave your device.
Expose loaded models on a localhost endpoint so existing API-based tools and scripts can connect unchanged.
Chat with a single model or load several at once to compare and combine their outputs.
Private AI for real work — workspaces, agents, models, and knowledge on your terms
Chat with models, organize knowledge, create media, and reuse prompts inside one privacy-first environment that runs on your own machine.
Run scoped agents on real tasks, review each step, and keep control from desktop or mobile rather than delegating a whole workflow blind.
Nexus acts as a central hub to manage runtimes, providers, API keys, policies, app tokens, and usage across an organization.
Package approved sources into versioned Knowledge Stacks that approved AI apps can retrieve and reuse, keeping context governed.
