Osaurus has been released as an MCP server that lets you use local and cloud AI models together on Mac.
Details
Osaurus has been released as a Mac-only MCP server, allowing users to move between local models and cloud models within the same harness.
- Locally, it supports MiniMax M2.5, Gemma 4, Qwen3.6, GPT-OSS, Llama, DeepSeek V4, along with Apple and Liquid AI on-device model lines.
- In the cloud, it can connect to OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, xAI, and OpenRouter.
- memory, files, and tool access stay on the user's hardware, while execution is handled inside a sandboxed runtime.
- The core idea is a structure that keeps task context and tool access on the Mac even when switching models.
