Lucebox

Lucebox is a local LLM inference server built for fast generation on consumer hardware. It focuses on custom kernels, speculative prefill, speculative decoding, and model-specific optimizations rather than a generic one-size-fits-all runtime. The project includes a native C++ HTTP server with an OpenAI-compatible API, making it usable with tools that already speak the Chat Completions format. It supports CUDA and ROCm workflows, with Docker images for NVIDIA and AMD GPU setups. The repository also includes harnesses for testing compatibility with clients such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, Pi, OpenClaw, and Open WebUI. It is most useful for developers and AI enthusiasts who want to run optimized local models with lower latency, faster token generation, and hardware-aware inference behavior.
