No GPU, or the wrong one

Prefer not to buy a GPU? The same catalog runs online

The hosted side opens in a browser, which is also how it works on a phone or on a computer too small for a model, and it is paid from credit packs that start at 15 EUR, never expire and need no subscription. LU Cloud runs on lu-labs.ai, our hosted service.

Already have a GPU? A desktop card holds chat models up to about 30B. LU Cloud runs the ones no desktop card can hold, like Kimi K3 and Qwen 3.8 Max, in the same app. Flip the Cloud switch when a job needs it, and switch back. Local stays free.

  • Faster videoClips render on our GPUs, so your own card stays free.

Uncensored AI image generator online

Images from about 2 cents each on Hosted, or about 3 cents on a 15 EUR pack. The content policy setting in your account decides what the image models may produce.

Uncensored AI video generator online

A five-second clip from about 21 cents on Hosted, or about 33 cents on a 15 EUR pack. You supply the starting frame; making that image is billed on its own.

Uncensored AI API

The desktop app serves an OpenAI-compatible API for your local models on port 8129, free. For hosted models the endpoint is https://lu-labs.ai/api/inference/v1, with lu_ keys that spend credits.

Read the API page

Fourteen open video models and seven open image models are listed with their prices on our cloud page. The pricing page on lu-labs.ai lists only the general image and video models, so its counts are lower.

See plans and packs

Current Hosted offer

Hosted includes 11 Flash models; Pro and Max include 12. In app sessions they cost no credits, up to a daily limit per account. GLM 5.3 Flash uses credits on Hosted and joins the daily allowance on Pro and Max. The allowance needs an active paid plan, and accounts without an active plan keep paying credits. API keys always use credits.

EUR 19/month, 900,000 shared monthly credits: up to 900 Neta Lumina Uncensored images or 90 five-second LTX 2.3 Uncensored clips. Every output spends the same wallet.

Each maximum spends the entire shared monthly wallet on one model. These are alternatives, not separate allowances. Input-image generation, character training, LoRA routes and additional operations cost extra. Uncensored video uses an input image and five-second clips. Failed jobs and changing catalog prices can affect results.

What you can do

Not a chat app. The whole studio.

Real AI on your own computer. One installer, no command line, no Docker. Private, free, and yours. In local mode there is no account, no cloud and nobody watching.

01 Chat

Uncensored AI chat, like ChatGPT but yours.

Ask anything and you get an answer instead of a lecture. Show it a photo, drop in a PDF, and it remembers what matters across chats. Ask for a picture and it draws one right in the conversation. The app finds and installs the right free model for your PC, so all you do is type. No PC for it? There is uncensored AI chat online too.

Live demoChat ยท no refusal

Demo: a user asks for a disturbing horror scene. A typical filtered model refuses, Locally Uncensored writes it, then draws the character right in the chat.
02 Create

Images and video from a sentence.

Type what you imagine and get a picture. Change it with words, cut it out, or turn it into a clip. Twelve modes share one tab, and everything you make lands in your own gallery. The app only offers what your computer can handle and installs each tool with one click.

All twelve run on LU Cloud. Enhance and Erase need the cloud; the other ten also run on your own graphics card.

Demo: the Create tab runs through all twelve modes, from a new image and an edit to a cutout, a video clip, a talking character and a music track.
03 Code

It finds the bug and shows you the fix.

Point the Coding Agent at your project and describe the problem in plain words. It reads the files, says what it found, and shows every change as a diff before anything touches your code. Here it catches a temperature formula that is off by 0.15. It even runs on small models most PCs can handle.

Demo: the Coding Agent reads the source file, finds a conversion that adds 32.15 instead of 32, shows the one line diff, applies it and runs the tests.
04 Agent Mode

It stops talking and starts doing.

Give Agent Mode a goal and it picks its own tools. It searches the web, writes the files and runs each step while you watch. Ask for a website and you get one, built in a sandbox on your own machine.

Demo: Agent Mode gets one sentence about a bakery website, searches the web, writes index.html and style.css, and starts a local server while the page builds up next to it.
05 Remote

Use it from your phone.

Your PC does the heavy lifting and your phone is the remote. Scan a QR code, type a 6-digit code, and chat, coding and tools are in your pocket, at home or on the road. Remote access stays off until you switch it on.

Demo: a phone scans the QR code on the PC, enters the 6-digit passcode and asks for a picture; the PC renders it and the phone shows the result.
06 Voice

Talk to it. It answers out loud.

Click Start voice and just talk. LU hears when you are done and answers in one of fifteen voices, and you can speak over the answer at any time. Speech recognition and the voice run on your own computer, and the session is saved as a normal chat. Voice is in beta and speaks English.

Demo: a click on Start voice, a spoken question about dinner, a spoken answer with the transcript next to it, and the user speaking over the answer to change it.
07 Computer control

It uses your mouse and keyboard. Only where you allow it.

Switch computer control on and a model can look at your screen and click and type in the apps you approve. It asks once in every chat, once for every app and, unless you choose otherwise, before every action. The LU window shrinks to a small panel with Pause and Stop, and you see every move. Computer control is in beta and off until you switch it on. On a Mac it is not fully tested yet.

Demo: a user asks LU to write a shopping list into an open Notepad window. LU asks whether it may use computer control in this chat, shrinks to a small panel, asks before it touches Notepad, asks again before it types, then writes the list and comes back.

What's new

Every release says what changed.

Each release comes with notes that say what was added, what was fixed and on which platform. The app shows them after an update, and the same notes are on GitHub next to the installers. Updates are free, as always: the app fetches a new release itself, and installing it takes one click.

Models

The best free AI, for every job.

Why

Made for people who want their AI on their machine.

In local mode your chats never leave your computer. No subscription, no limits, and no company reading along. Most local AI apps stop at text chat; this one gives you chat, code, images, and video in one place, and your phone can run it from anywhere.

It's free and open source, so anyone can check the code. Local wins for privacy and unlimited use; when you want a cloud model for the really hard stuff, you can plug your own in. Tested with 2,200+ automated checks so it just works.

Questions

Common questions.

What is Locally Uncensored?

A free, open-source local AI studio for your desktop. Install it like any normal app and you're chatting, generating images, and making videos in minutes, with no command line and no Docker. Under the hood: chat with 20+ provider presets, a coding agent, image generation via ComfyUI (FLUX 2, Juggernaut XL, Z-Image, SDXL), and video generation (Wan 2.1, HunyuanVideo, LTX 2.3, FramePack F1) in one interface. AGPL-3.0 licensed.

Does it support Qwen 3.8, GPT-OSS and GLM-4.7?

Yes. Qwen 3.8 27B is in the Model Manager since v2.6.6, and vision works: the image tower comes as a separate mmproj file that the download writes next to the model. Official, abliterated and uncensored builds, plus a 9B distill for small cards. GPT-OSS-120B and GPT-OSS-20B run via Ollama. GLM-4.7 Flash supported through Ollama. Also ready: DeepSeek R1, Llama 4, Gemma 4, Mistral Small 3, Phi 4.

Can I use it as a ChatGPT or Claude alternative?

Yes. Locally Uncensored works as a ChatGPT and Claude alternative that runs on your own hardware. Use Qwen 3.8, GPT-OSS, GLM-4.7, DeepSeek R1, Llama 4 or Gemma 4 instead, or add cloud providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Groq) alongside the local stack.

Is it really free and offline?

Yes. After setup and model download, no internet is needed for the local providers. Local use needs no account and has no usage limit. The app has no analytics kit and sends no crash reports. On its own it checks GitHub for updates and counts presses of the Cloud switch. Cloud providers are optional, and the core runs on your own hardware.

How is this different from Open WebUI or LM Studio?

Those tools handle text chat. Locally Uncensored adds a coding agent with fourteen MCP tools, image generation, video creation, A/B model comparison, local benchmarking, granular permissions, file upload with vision, and thinking mode, all in one app.

What hardware do I need?

Text chat: 8 GB RAM. Image generation: an NVIDIA card from 6 GB of VRAM with the starter checkpoint, 8 to 10 GB for FLUX. Video generation: from 6 GB for AnimateDiff and image to video with FramePack F1, from 8 GB for the Wan 2.1 starter, 12 GB and up for Wan 2.2 and HunyuanVideo. The app auto-detects hardware and recommends models. Windows 10/11 and Linux supported, and Apple Silicon Macs since version 3.0.6.

What does "uncensored" mean?

Abliterated models with artificial restrictions removed. The AI responds honestly without refusing or adding disclaimers. Combined with local execution, your conversations stay private.

Does remote access leak data?

Remote access is off until you start it, sits behind a six-digit passcode, and shows when a device is connected. On your own network the chat goes straight from phone to PC. Over the internet Cloudflare relays it: the traffic is encrypted to and from Cloudflare, not end to end, so Cloudflare could read it.

Can I talk to it?

Yes. Voice is a spoken conversation with the chat model you picked. Speech recognition and the voice run on your own machine, in English, with fifteen voices. Voice is in beta: our check in the real app ran on Windows, and your computer may still show rough edges.

Can it control my computer?

Only if you switch it on. With computer control a model uses the mouse and keyboard in apps you approve. It asks before it touches an app and, by default, before every action, and it never touches terminals, password managers or password fields. You can pause or stop it at any time. Computer control is in beta: it is not proven in every app yet, so watch what it does and stop it when it goes wrong.

Can I use this on macOS?

Yes, since version 3.0.6, in beta. The Mac build is for Apple Silicon and needs macOS 14 or newer. Intel Macs are not supported. The .dmg is signed and notarized. Chat runs on local models through the bundled server with Metal, and Create makes images and video on the Mac itself, without ComfyUI. We tested it on an M5 Pro with 48 GB. Tell us how it runs on yours. Voice has been tried by hand in the app on a Mac and works. Computer control is in the Mac app but not fully tested yet on macOS. Remote Access and the automatic update are not confirmed on macOS. On any Mac you can also use the hosted studio in a browser at lu-labs.ai.

The whole studio. Free.

Chat, create and code. On your PC or in the cloud.
