v1.0.0

First stable release of Awesome Self-Hosted AI.

What is in it

• 303 self-hostable open-source AI projects in 16 categories: LLM runtimes, chat interfaces, agents, MCP servers, RAG and vector databases, speech, image and video, document OCR, voice agents, home AI and more.
• A Rising section for new projects (100 to 499 stars, under a year old). They move to their category at 500 stars.
• A Source-Available section for popular tools whose license adds terms beyond a standard open-source one.
• LIVE.md: a table with stars, last push, license and a colored status for every project.

How it stays current

• A weekly GitHub Action checks every repo through the GitHub API and opens a refresh PR.
• Archived, deleted or year-silent projects move to UNMAINTAINED.md and return on their own if they become active.
• CI validates every pull request (schema, duplicates, star floor, archived check).
