Infercat enables encrypted P2P sharing of local AI models

Infercat is a new project designed to make local AI models more accessible by allowing users to share them with friends over encrypted peer-to-peer tunnels. The tool uses tailcat for secure connections, enabling users to connect via an invite code without needing to install anything or create accounts. Infercat supports various inference engines like llama.cpp, vLLM, and Ollama, and provides an OpenAI-compatible API endpoint for easy integration with existing applications. AI

IMPACT Facilitates easier sharing and use of local AI models, potentially reducing reliance on cloud-based services for personal use.
