Rubra

Rubra is an open-source tool that empowers developers to create AI assistants locally, ensuring privacy and cost-effectiveness.

Rubra is specifically designed to help developers work on AI assistants using large language models (LLMs) without the usual complications. Think of it as having the same helpfulness as OpenAI’s ChatGPT, but with the advantage of local development. This means you can create powerful AI applications more affordably and securely, without having to deal with token-based API calls.

One of the great features of Rubra is that it comes with fully configured open-source LLMs right out of the box. This setup simplifies the development process for building modern AI-powered agents that can smoothly handle interactions and data processing from various sources right on your own machine. Plus, it includes a user-friendly chat interface that lets developers easily test and communicate with their models and assistants.

Unlike other model inferencing engines, Rubra offers an OpenAI-compatible Assistants API and an optimized LLM. This compatibility ensures that developers can transition smoothly between different tools and environments. Importantly, Rubra puts user privacy at the forefront by performing all processes locally, so your chat histories and any data you work with never have to leave your machine.

On top of that, Rubra doesn’t limit you to just its own local LLM; it also provides support for models from OpenAI and Anthropic. This flexibility allows developers to take advantage of a wide range of tools based on their specific needs. Community involvement is highly encouraged, too, with opportunities for users to engage via discussions, report bugs, and even contribute code on its GitHub repository.
