Quickstarts
Pick the path that matches what you want to do.
Use Teale
Run AI models locally on your Mac. No accounts, no API keys, no cloud. Install the app, and a model downloads automatically based on your hardware.
Build on Teale
Teale exposes an OpenAI-compatible API at localhost:11435. If your code works with OpenAI, it works with Teale --- just change the base URL.
Earn with Teale
Share your idle compute with the Teale network and earn Teale Credits. Credits redeem AI inference and transfer to other users. Teale auto-selects the best model for your hardware and handles everything else.
