LocalAI: browse model types before installation

The author’s retained gallery screenshot shows type/tag filters and Gemma model cards. The displayed 907-model count belongs to this source screenshot; it is not a current inventory or evidence that those models are installed. Provider model names and marks remain their owners’ identifiers.

LocalAI: see the image-generation workspace

The author’s screenshot shows a sample illustrated poster inside the image workspace. Its prompt is empty and its model selector is unselected: the flux.1-dev header does not establish the poster’s exact generation model or a reusable prompt. This is an interface preview, with no inferred recipe or independent generation claim.

LocalAI: declare a weather tool in a local API request

This complete request from the official Try it out guide declares a get_current_weather function and asks the configured qwen3-4b model about Boston. Install and configure the named model first. The declaration describes a tool; it does not implement the weather function, fetch weather or supply an executed response.
