<p dir="auto">A new runtime should not require every client application to be rewritten.</p>
<p dir="auto">Lizard exposes a local OpenAI-compatible chat-completions endpoint for supported models. Existing clients can point at localhost while Lizard owns model loading, provider selection, concurrency, and native telemetry behind the contract.</p>
<p dir="auto">Compatibility at the API boundary keeps runtime experimentation from leaking into every application.</p>
<p dir="auto">Which local tool would you connect first if the endpoint already matched your current client?</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Engineering fact:</strong> Lizard can serve supported local models through an OpenAI-compatible chat-completions endpoint on localhost for integration with existing clients.</p>
