A desktop studio for local + API language models

Unlike most local-LLM tools, PhiloEngine checks your actual hardware first and proposes a context size that will really load then falls back step-by-step (smaller context, different runtime, CPU) instead of crashing with OOM. It combines that with local + API models, a bot layer with scoped file access, planning mode for big tasks, web search, and memory all in one self-hosted AGPL app.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm David. PhiloEngine started as a side effect: I was trying to fine-tune a model myself and kept hitting the same wall no way to know upfront if a config would actually fit my hardware, so runs OOM'd halfway through or burned tokens on setups that were never going to work. Realized that gap isn't just my problem nobody's made this simple for people who aren't already deep in ML.
So the core of PhiloEngine is that layer: it checks your GPU/VRAM/RAM, proposes a context size and runtime that'll really load, and steps down gracefully instead of crashing saving compute and tokens instead of wasting them.
Fine-tuning made simple is actually next on the roadmap (not in the app yet, but that's where this is heading). Right now it also has local + API models, a bot system with scoped file access, planning mode for big tasks, web search, and memory all self-hosted, AGPL-3.0.
Alpha, built solo. Would love feedback, especially from macOS/Windows users since Linux gets the most testing from me. Ask me anything 🙂
