Local RAG

Also known as: local RAG · on-device RAG

Local

Local RAG is RAG that runs end-to-end on your own hardware — the embedding model, the vector store, and the answering LLM all local.

  • Your documents never leave the box.
  • Works offline.
  • Quality depends on your local embedding model and LLM.

Private knowledge search: local RAG is "ask my documents" with zero cloud dependency — the go-to for sensitive or offline corpora.
