Custom LLM (open-source / self-hosted) for AI voice agents
Custom LLM (open-source / self-hosted) is one of the LLMs you can run a Telenow AI voice agent on. Point at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp, LM Studio, or a self-deployed model. We treat it exactly like OpenAI: same chat-completions wire format, your model + your URL. Tools work too. Pick a Custom LLM (open-source / self-hosted) model as the agent's brain and it drives the whole conversation — understanding the caller, deciding what to say, and calling your tools — fast enough to keep a live call natural. Mix and match it with any LLM, STT, TTS and carrier — Telenow is component-level, so you're never locked in.
