About AnythingLLM

AnythingLLM is the open-source AI platform people and enterprises run on hardware they control: laptops, phones, servers, or fully air-gapped networks. It works with any model and any provider, with no lock-in, and your data never has to leave the building. More than 2.6M people use AnythingLLM every month across Desktop and Docker, and that’s a floor since most users turn telemetry off. It has 56K+ GitHub stars. Most of the tokens generated on AnythingLLM go to on-device or open-source models. People aren’t just trying local AI here, they’re doing real work with it. That open-source footprint feeds our enterprise business. From small businesses to highly regulated enterprises in government, defense and financial services, teams deploy AnythingLLM where cloud AI isn’t an option. Our enterprise platform adds centralized control of desktop fleets, governance, SSO and SLAs on top of the same app their teams already use. We work with every major hardware vendor and OEM across PC and mobile. As local AI hardware becomes standard, AnythingLLM is the software layer that makes it useful. Small models handle small tasks on your device. Big models handle big tasks wherever you choose to run them. You decide where your intelligence lives.
