Australia's AI Infrastructure Company for the Next Generation of Builders
LocAI is an Australia-born platform built to make advanced AI access faster, more controllable, and fully local by design. User data stays local. Servers, APIs, and GPU compute are positioned in Sydney. The operating ambition is simple: build Australia's strongest AI company and a platform the country can take pride in.
Built for OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible tools
Australia-Born. Platform-Grade. Built to Lead.
A premium AI access layer for teams that want local control, Australian operating credibility, and a serious path from prototype to national-scale deployment.
LocAI Platform Engine
A platform layer designed around coding agents, structured workflows, and developer tasks.
Absolute Local Data Posture
User data handling is built around a strict Australia-first operating model, with localisation treated as a platform feature rather than a brochure line.
Sydney Data And Compute Footprint
Servers, APIs, and GPU-backed compute capacity are positioned in Sydney so the platform path stays local, governed, and easier to trust.
Native Dual Protocol
Full OpenAI Chat Completions + Anthropic Messages. Streaming, non-streaming, tool use — all work identically. One API key unlocks both worlds.
Secure Key Management
SHA-256 hashed keys. Per-key budgets, rate limits, model allowlists. Keys shown once, stored never. Revoke any key instantly.
Usage Visibility
Review your account usage and prepaid balance in the customer dashboard.
Simple Prepaid Credits
Pay only for what you use. Top up in seconds. Real-time cost estimates before every request. Never get a surprise bill.
Developer Tool Integration
Connect tools that support OpenAI- or Anthropic-compatible API endpoints.
Rate and Capacity Controls
API key request limits and capacity controls help keep service use predictable.
Security Controls
API key management and account authentication support controlled access to the platform.
Seamless Model Upgrades
Stable model aliases that never change. Canary rollouts. A/B testing. Traffic splitting. Upgrade your backend without touching a single line of user code.
