LocalAI
:robot: The free, Open Source alternative to OpenAI, Claude and others. Self-hosted and local-first. Drop-in replacement for OpenAI, running on consumer-grade hardware. No GPU required. Runs gguf, transformers, diffusers and many more models architectures. Features: Generate Text, Audio, Video, Images, Voice Cloning, Distributed, P2P inference
Project mention: Nvidia on NixOS WSL – Ollama up 24/7 on your gaming PC | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-04-10If you're going to run Ollama in Windows anyway, why not use the native build? And if you want to use WSL, then I'd sugggest using something like LocalAI which gives you a lot more control and support for additional formats (GGML, GGUF, GPTQ, ONNX, etc).

ergo
An actor-based Framework with network transparency for creating event-driven architecture in Golang. Inspired by Erlang. Zero dependencies.
In the realm of Go, Ergo serves as an ambitious attempt to close the gap between Go’s native concurrency model using goroutines and the robust actor-based systems seen in Erlang VM. This approach seeks to merge Go's efficiency with the actor model’s strengths.

storj
Ongoing Storj v3 development. Decentralized cloud object storage that is affordable, easy to use, private, and secure.
-
rueidis
A fast Golang Redis client that supports Client Side Caching, Auto Pipelining, Generics OM, RedisJSON, RedisBloom, RediSearch, etc.
It's important to note that it's possible to use any Redis-compatible client with Valkey. I used the go-redis client, but (at the time of writing) there is work underway to build Valkey specific client libraries. Check the Valkey GitHub org to take look at the forks of existing Redis client libraries such as valkey-go (corresponding to rueidis), iovalkey (corresponding to ioredis), Jackey (corresponding to jedis) etc. These are very early days (at the time of writing), and it will be interesting to see the progress here!

tork
Tork is a lightweight, distributed workflow engine that runs tasks as simple scripts within Docker containers.
A little while back, I wrote a post introducing Tork, an open-source project I've been developing. In a nutshell, Tork is a general-purpose, distributed workflow engine suitable for various workloads. At my work, we primarily use it for CPU/GPU-heavy tasks such as processing digital assets (3D, videos, images etc.), as well as our CI/CD tool for our internal PaaS.
