Use open models. Run AI locally. Bring your own brain. Choose your infrastructure. The model is the brain. unopenAI is the operating layer.
Most AI products lock you to a single provider. Your prompts, your data, and your workflow become coupled to someone else's endpoint.
unopenAI is an operating layer, not a wrapper. Providers are replaceable. Models are discoverable. Inference can be local.
