What Local III is
Local III is a local model browser developed with more than one hundred contributors. It integrates deeply with inference engines such as Ollama and offers tuned configurations for open source models including Llama3, Moondream, and Codestral, with the goal of reliable offline code interpretation. It adds local visual support, where images become descriptions through Moondream plus OCR, and an experimental mode where the assistant can control the mouse, keyboard, and view the screen. The page describes it as free, including an optional hosted model.
What you can do with it
- Browse and run local models through a friendly interface
- Use recommended settings for popular open source models
- Convert images to descriptions and extract text locally
- Experiment with local operating system control
Who it is for
- Developers who want coding help without cloud dependence
- Data scientists processing data offline
- Educators teaching local AI usage
What to watch out for
Local models demand capable hardware, so performance depends on your machine rather than a data center, and large models will be slow or impossible on modest setups. The experimental operating system control mode can take real actions on your computer, so use it in a controlled environment, avoid sensitive accounts, and understand the risk before enabling it. Setup assumes some technical comfort with models, drivers, and tooling, so expect a learning curve. As an active open source project, features and behavior can change quickly, so check the current documentation and release notes before relying on it. Start with a small sample to confirm the output meets your expectations before processing the full batch. Free tiers and usage limits can change, so check the current rules on the official page before relying on it long term.
