  LocalAI is distributed as a server, not as a client SDK. There is no first-party client library in any
  language registry: because the API is OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible, the documented integration path
  is the vendors' own SDKs pointed at a LocalAI base_url. The PyPI package `localai` (0.0.26, 2023-06-10)
  and the npm package `localai` (0.0.1, 2024-05-29) are unrelated third-party publications — the PyPI one
  is "Private AutoGPT Robot" by Viet-Anh Nguyen — and are recorded here explicitly so a later pass does
  not mistake them for first-party SDKs.

    Primary distribution channel and the recommended install method. Rolling tags (master, master-gpu-intel,
    master-gpu-vulkan, sha-*) are rebuilt continuously; pull_count 6,955,076 at probe time. Version is
    recorded as the rolling tag because the registry's most recent publications are branch tags, not the
    v4.9.0 release tag.

    DECAY SIGNAL. proxy.golang.org resolves @latest for the module path github.com/mudler/LocalAI to
    v1.40.0, published 2023-10-30, while the project itself is at v4.9.0 (2026-08-20). Requesting the /v4
    path returns "go.mod has non-.../v4 module path" — the repository never adopted the semantic-import
    versioning suffix, so every tag from v2.0.0 onward is invisible to the Go module proxy. Go consumers
    importing LocalAI as a library therefore get a build nearly three years old unless they pin a pseudo-
    version by commit. This affects library import only, not the binary or container distribution.

    DECAY SIGNAL. The Kubernetes Helm chart's newest published version is 3.4.2 with appVersion "2.23",
    dated 2024-11-21 — 21 months behind the v4.9.0 server it deploys. Kubernetes is one of the five
    installation methods LocalAI's own install page lists, so the chart's staleness is a live gap between
    the documented install path and the shipping product.
