Project overview
TextGen provides portable desktop builds and a web interface for loading local models, including GGUF files, and using them for chat, vision, document questions, and free-form generation. It can switch among several inference backends and expose OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible endpoints with tool calling and MCP support. Core use can remain fully offline with no telemetry, while training, additional backends, image generation, and some extensions require the full installation.
