What l3ms does
l3ms checks your Mac's chip, memory, and GPU headroom, then recommends local language models that should run well on that hardware. It handles download and inference through Ollama, with no terminal required.
Why local
Once a model is downloaded, l3ms can work without an internet connection. Prompts, documents, and chat history stay on your Mac. There is no account, cloud queue, or requirement to send your conversations to a remote server.
Who makes it
l3ms is an independent project by AIVI AI Services, an AI consulting firm based in Amsterdam. It is part of a wider set of local, offline-friendly tools for web, Mac, and mobile.
The app is open source under the MIT license. Read the code on GitHub, or return to the l3ms homepage.
