# LocalAI vs pydantic-ai

LocalAI and pydantic-ai share 8 technologies: React, anyio, FastAPI, Vite, OpenTelemetry, dompurify, highlight.js, and marked. LocalAI is written in Go and pydantic-ai in Python.

- [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.
- [pydantic/pydantic-ai](https://seerepo.com/r/pydantic/pydantic-ai): How Python does AI. Agents, realtime voice, image generation, embeddings. Every model, every interface, typed end to end.

- 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.
