Loopback, LAN and VPN binds answer every caller, and keys set by environment variable grant full admin.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### GPT4All\n\n1. Ask the owner to tick Enable Local API Server in Settings. Nothing answers on port 4891 until they do\n2. Leave out `stream`, `tools`, `tool_choice` and `response_format`. The server returns 400 for each\n3. Use the model's display name from /v1/models, such as \"Phi-3 Mini Instruct\"\n4. Read LocalDocs snippets from `choices[0].references`. Collections can only be switched on in the app\n5. Plan tool use outside GPT4All. Its API can't call tools\n\n### LocalAI\n\n1. Send `Authorization: Bearer \u003ckey\u003e` when the operator has set keys. A 401 means the instance has auth on\n2. Read /.well-known/localai.json and /api/instructions first. Both answer without a key and list what this instance can do\n3. Back off on 429 and 503 for the Retry-After seconds. A 503 can mean the model is still loading\n4. Start `local-ai mcp-server` with `--read-only` unless the task is to install or delete models\n5. Take model names from /v1/models. Each instance names its own\n\n## Other comparisons with GPT4All or LocalAI\n\n- [AnythingLLM vs GPT4All](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/anythingllm-vs-gpt4all.md)\n- [AnythingLLM vs LocalAI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/anythingllm-vs-localai.md)\n- [GPT4All vs Jan](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt4all-vs-jan.md)\n- [GPT4All vs Khoj](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt4all-vs-khoj.md)\n- [GPT4All vs llama.cpp](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt4all-vs-llama-cpp.md)\n- [GPT4All vs LM Studio](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt4all-vs-lm-studio.md)\n- [GPT4All vs Ollama](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt4all-vs-ollama.md)\n- [GPT4All vs Open WebUI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt4all-vs-open-webui.md)\n- [GPT4All vs screenpipe](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt4all-vs-screenpipe.md)\n- [Jan vs LocalAI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/jan-vs-localai.md)\n- [Khoj vs LocalAI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/khoj-vs-localai.md)\n- [llama.cpp vs LocalAI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/llama-cpp-vs-localai.md)\n- [LM Studio vs LocalAI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/lm-studio-vs-localai.md)\n- [LocalAI vs Ollama](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/localai-vs-ollama.md)\n- [LocalAI vs Open WebUI](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/localai-vs-open-webui.md)\n- [LocalAI vs screenpipe](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/localai-vs-screenpipe.md)\n- [GPT4All vs Underdog](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt4all-vs-underdog.md)\n- [LocalAI vs Underdog](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/localai-vs-underdog.md)\n- [GPT4All vs LocalGhost](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/gpt4all-vs-localghost.md)\n",
