## What it is
biniou is a self-hosted web UI for 30+ generative AI models covering image, video, audio, and text generation, built with Gradio and Hugging Face libraries. It runs locally on modest hardware (from 8GB RAM, no dedicated GPU required) and can work fully offline once models are downloaded.

## Use cases
- generate images locally with stable diffusion and flux
- run a local chatbot with llama.cpp gguf models
- transcribe audio to text with whisper offline
- generate music and speech with audiocraft and bark
- upscale and restore faces with real-esrgan and gfpgan
- self-host an all-in-one generative ai studio without a gpu
- use generative ai completely offline on my own computer

## When to choose
- you want one self-hosted interface for many kinds of generative AI (image, video, audio, text)
- you have limited hardware and no dedicated GPU
- you need offline operation after initial model download
- you want a Gradio-based web UI that is easy to deploy on Linux, Windows, macOS, or Docker

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade, multi-user AI service with authentication and scaling
- you only need one specific model and prefer a lighter dedicated tool
- you require fine-grained programmatic APIs rather than a web UI
- you need macOS Apple Silicon support, which is experimental
