Inference Gateway releases desktop AI client
Understand this story
Inference Gateway releases the native desktop app Inference Gateway Desktop, where users can connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, local Ollama, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint using their own API key, then add the key in settings and start chatting. The app's release package is not signed by Apple or Microsoft, so first launch requires extra steps: on macOS, right-click and select "Open" and confirm; on Windows, select "More info" and then "Run anyway." On first run, the app downloads the infer CLI and gateway to the ~/.infer/ directory; Windows users need to install the gateway themselves.

- Hacker News AIInference Gateway Desktop, an AI client for any model provider
Inference Gateway Desktop is a native desktop app for AI agents that run on your computer, supporting any model provider and your own API keys, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, local Ollama models or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. It lets agents run in a chosen project directory with sandboxed file tools, run on Kubernetes workspaces with screen viewing and mouse/keyboard takeover, drive your browser via the opentask extension, and create talking-avatar clips, text to speech and text to video. The app updates itself, supports Export/Import to move your setup, and is built with Tauri and a React + TypeScript frontend powered by Inference Gateway.
