Capabilities
- Runs commands — “Create a sandbox, run a command, stream the output, and you’re done:” source
- VS Code — “Connect VS Code” source
- Command line — “Python MCP CLI Terraform Live terminal” source
- Choice of models — “Krutrim Cloud's AI Studio offers access to a diverse catalogue of open-source and in-house AI models for text generation, embeddings, speech, and multimodal use cases.” source
- API — “AWS-compatible APIs for zero-friction migration.” source
- Official SDKs — “Python, Go, Java, Rust, and MCP integrations.” source
- Runs models for you — “Run distributed training on GPU clusters, deploy low-latency inference, and fine-tune models with fully managed pipelines.” source
- Builds agents and workflows — “MCP server support, AI agent frameworks, and real-time streaming inference APIs.” source
- Traces and evaluates — “The cost of running Model Evaluations and Performance Evaluations on the Krutrim platform is the same as inference — based on the number of tokens processed.” source
LocalAI
LocalAI runs AI models on your own hardware through an OpenAI-compatible local server and web interface.

Capabilities
- Runs commands — “It runs shell commands behind an approval gate you control, delegates to sub-agents, and loads MCP servers, plugins and skills.” source
- VS Code — “Install on openSUSE and drive it from VS Code” source
- Command line — “Run local-ai chat and you are talking to an agent that already knows where your models are.” source
- Choice of models — “Every tier of every model we quantize, ranked against the hardware you actually have and installed with one click.” source
- Self-hosted — “keep your data on your hardware, and scale to a room full of GPUs when you need more capacity.” source
- API — “One binary with an OpenAI-compatible API in front of it.” source
- Runs models for you — “Point an existing client at it and the calls keep working, except now the model is on your machine.” source
- Builds agents and workflows — “Run local-ai chat and you are talking to an agent that already knows where your models are.” source
- Search over your data — “Agents, MCP, skills, RAG, interactive tools” source
Latest updates
