nobodywho-ooo/nobodywho
NobodyWho is an inference engine that lets you run LLMs locally and efficiently on any device.
About the project
A Rust inference engine for running LLMs locally with bindings for Python, Kotlin, Swift, Flutter, React Native and Godot, plus speech-to-text and text-to-speech. It runs GGUF chat models offline on desktop and mobile devices.
Useful for
- Run a local LLM inside a Flutter or React Native mobile app without calling an external API
- Add offline LLM-driven NPC dialogue and text-to-speech to a Godot game
- Build a Python voice assistant using Whisper transcription and Kokoro speech synthesis

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
