Loclean – Local AI Data Cleaning Library Without GPU or API Keys

Summary: Loclean is a Python library that uses local large language models (LLMs) to clean data without requiring GPUs or API keys. It offers an alternative to rigid Regex and costly cloud-based AI services, enabling privacy-safe processing of sensitive information.

What it does

Loclean integrates local LLMs into data cleaning workflows, allowing users to process and clean messy data on their machines without external API calls or GPU dependency.

Who it's for

Data scientists and developers needing flexible, privacy-conscious data cleaning solutions without relying on cloud AI services.

Why it matters

It addresses the limitations of Regex and the privacy and cost issues of cloud AI by enabling local, efficient data cleaning.
