LocalAI Deployment: Run LLMs Locally with Zero API Costs

Every month, OpenAI's bill runs into the hundreds. I want to switch to a local model to save money, but I'm worried it'll be too much of a hassle. Is there a tool that can deploy local AI with one click and still be compatible with OpenAI's API format?
