"The Lemonade app can run a few different ways: as a CLI application, as a GUI desktop app (a la LM Studio), and as a server. The CLI version can be used to run the inference engine headlessly - with no GUI, just the server components and APIs - or as a way to launch the GUI with a specific model and other settings. Lemonade's server can also be delivered as an embeddable component for other apps."
Lemonade is a server application with a GUI for running local AI models. It provides limited configuration but focuses on interoperability with third-party apps through standard APIs and support for non-NVIDIA runtimes. It works with AMD GPUs, Ryzen NPUs, Vulkan, and CPU execution, depending on the task. It supports multiple back-end engines including llamacpp, whispercpp, sd-cpp, kokoro, ryzenai-llm, and flm. It interoperates with OpenAI, Ollama, Anthropic, and llama.cpp APIs, and it supports both GGUF and ONNX model formats. NVIDIA-specific GPU support is missing, with only Vulkan and AMD ROCm GPUs available. NPU support is limited by platform and specific software paths. It can run as a CLI, GUI, or server, and the server can be embedded into other apps.
