Goethe
Goethe is an open source AI model serving tool that turns a Linux machine into a private API.
Goethe turns a Linux machine into your own API, compatible with OpenAI, Anthropic and LiteLLM clients. It allows you to install models, serve them through a single address, and configure network access for your team or applications. The software runs on your own hardware, cloud GPU virtual machines, or GPU containers with Linux. It supports architectures like Blackwell, Hopper, Ada, and Ampere with NVIDIA GPUs. Clients that speak the OpenAI, Anthropic or LiteLLM API can send requests directly to the service. Data and models stay on hardware you control, and the tool manages model persistence across reboots.
