LM.C Engine
Local Models Computing Engine: general-purpose local inference for any machine learning model.
What LM.C is
LM.C stands for Local Models Computing Engine. It is not designed only for large language models; it is a general-purpose engine for local inferencing of any machine learning model. Whether you run language models, vision models, or other ML workloads, LM.C aims to bring efficient, CPU-first inference to resource-constrained environments.
Why we built it
At NileAGI, we are building an AI infrastructure stack grounded in Africa's realities, where computational resources such as GPUs, TPUs, and NPUs are limited and access to scalable AI systems is uneven. Our goal is simple: make advanced AI deployable without heavy GPU dependency.
This vision drives our foundation projects. Alongside Delta, our local and offline-first assistant, we are building LM.C as a CPU-first inference engine that can serve any type of machine learning model efficiently where resources are constrained.
