Reviewer scorecard
“Point at Postgres, get a production GraphQL API instantly. Authorization rules and real-time subscriptions included.”
“The local server mode is the killer feature — run any local model with an OpenAI-compatible API. Drop it into any project that uses the OpenAI SDK.”
“For Postgres-backed applications that want GraphQL, Hasura eliminates the entire API layer development.”
“Best UX for local models by far. The model browser with VRAM requirements shown upfront saves trial-and-error. Hardware optimization actually works.”
“GraphQL momentum has slowed. Hasura is excellent technology but the addressable market may not grow as expected.”
“The UI is gorgeous — it feels like a native Mac app. Browse models, download, chat. No terminal needed. If Ollama is for developers, LM Studio is for everyone else.”
