What Is Uncensored AI Studio (locallyuncensored.com)?

Updated

Uncensored AI Studio is a free, open-source AI toolkit that runs either on your own PC or online without a GPU. It bundles chat, image generation, video, and a coding agent into one application, and it adds no moderation layer of its own to text. If you want an AI studio you can run locally — where chats stay on your machine — or you want the same model catalog hosted online because you don't have a GPU, this is the choice it's built around.

What the studio actually includes

The site describes it as "not a chat app. The whole studio." In practice that means four capabilities under one roof:

  • Chat — text conversation across a catalog of models
  • Image generation
  • Video generation
  • A coding agent

The chat side is the most documented: the site states there are 47 chat models, and that every one of them is included in every plan and every pack. That's a flat catalog rather than a tiered one — you don't unlock models by paying more.

Local vs. online: the two ways to run it

This is the core decision the product is organized around.

Local (your PC) Online (no GPU)
Hardware Your own machine None required
Privacy Chats stay on your PC Runs on hosted infrastructure
Model access Same catalog Same catalog
Setup Download and run Use in the browser

The site's own framing: "Uncensored AI, on your PC or online," and "Prefer not to buy a GPU? The same catalog runs online." So the trade-off isn't capability — it's where the compute happens and where your conversation data lives.

If privacy is your reason for being here, the local path is the one that matters. The site explicitly says local chats stay on your PC. The online path is for people who want the same models without buying hardware.

The "uncensored" part, stated precisely

The claim on the page is narrow and worth reading exactly: "We add no moderation layer of our own to text."

That means the studio itself doesn't insert a filter between you and the model. It does not mean every model behaves identically, and it doesn't describe what any upstream model provider does. Treat "uncensored" here as a statement about the application layer, not a guarantee about every output.

Open source and updates

The project is free and open source on GitHub. The site also notes that "every release says what changed" — changelogs are published per release, which is useful if you're running it locally and want to know whether an update affects your setup.

Getting started

The site claims you can be "running in under five minutes." The realistic split:

  • Online route — open it in a browser, no GPU, no install. Fastest path if you just want to try the models.
  • Local route — you'll need to get it onto your machine from the GitHub project. This is where the five-minute estimate depends heavily on your hardware and how much of the stack you already have.

Who this fits

  • You want local inference and data that doesn't leave your machine → the local install is the point.
  • You want the same models but have no GPU → the online option exists specifically for this.
  • You want image, video, and coding in one tool rather than four subscriptions → that's the "whole studio" pitch.
  • You need a specific model that isn't in the 47-model catalog → check the catalog before committing; the flat "all models in all plans" structure only helps if what you need is in there.

Pricing details for the online plans and packs are listed on the site's pricing page — check there for current figures rather than assuming the online tier is free just because the software is open source.
