Anil-matcha/Open-Generative-AI

A free, self-hostable generative AI studio that provides access to 200+ models for creating images, video, and audio without built-in content filters. It supports local inference via a bundled engine for desktop users, alongside cloud-based generation via external APIs.

Project overview

Provides access to 200+ generative models without subscription fees or content filters, and offers a local inference path via a bundled sd.cpp engine.

Best for

Creators and general users seeking to self-host or run a generative AI studio without built-in content filters or subscription fees.

Key capabilities

Generate images from text prompts (50+ models) or transform existing images (55+ models).
Generate videos from text prompts (40+ models) or animate a start-frame image (60+ models).
Animate portrait images or sync lips on existing videos using audio with 9 dedicated models.
Interface for photorealistic cinematic shots with pro camera controls (Lens, Focal Length, Aperture).
Build and run multi-step AI pipelines visually with a node-based editor and community templates.
Run local model inference via the bundled sd.cpp engine. Alternatively, the application can connect to a remote Wan2GP server for video inference.
Upload up to 14 reference images for compatible edit models with order badges and batch upload.

Limitations and risks

Local inference is only available in the desktop app; the hosted web version always uses cloud APIs.
On a base 8 GB M-series Mac, running Z-Image is known to hang the system; 16 GB of RAM is recommended for this specific model.
The macOS app is not notarized by Apple and requires bypassing Gatekeeper.
The Windows installer is not code-signed and triggers SmartScreen warnings.
The application intentionally has no content filters, nanny guardrails, or prompt rejections.

Getting started

Download the one-click installer for your operating system from the releases page; Node.js or terminal access is not required. A hosted web version is also available requiring no installation.
