# flink vs LocalAI

flink and LocalAI share 5 technologies: s3, pyarrow, OpenAI, Prometheus, and OpenTelemetry. flink is written in Java and LocalAI in Go.

- [apache/flink](https://seerepo.com/r/apache/flink): Apache Flink
- [mudler/LocalAI](https://seerepo.com/r/mudler/LocalAI): LocalAI is the open-source AI engine. Run any model - LLMs, vision, voice, image, video - on any hardware. No GPU required.

## Side by side

| | flink | LocalAI |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 2,869,317 lines written, 9,840 code files | 1,389,292 lines written, 2,979 code files |
| Who writes it | 0.4% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code | 3.7% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and Cursor |
| Activity | Last push November 8, 2026, 38,159 commits, 26,458 stars | Last push November 5, 2026, 9,317 commits, 50,214 stars |
| Tests | 5,728 test files. 61.8% of its code files have a test that imports them | 2,911 test files. 60.8% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
