  • I Run LLMs Locally

    Given how much data (personal and otherwise) that you're likely going to feeding into it, I would HIGHLY recommend using an open-source chat interface like Jan.

    It's cross platform, works with most LLMs, and has extension support.

    If you're going through the trouble of running your models locally, it doesn't make sense to couple that with a proprietary interface (like LM Studio).

    https://jan.ai/ support OS: Windows, Linux, MacOS Jan is an open-source alternative to ChatGPT that runs entirely offline on your desktop. It aims to make AI accessible to everyone while prioritizing user privacy and control. Jan features a built-in model library, supports connecting to remote AI APIs, and offers a local API server with OpenAI-equivalent functionality. It also includes an extension system for customization and supports a wide range of popular LLMs like Llama, Gemma, and Mistral.

    LibreChat is also one of the few LLM chat interfaces that works with both external APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc) and local ones (hosted via Ollama, etc) out of the box.

    If it has a downside, I'd say its a little more involved to get setup, lots of docker containers, etc then something a little more batteries-included like Jan.

  • The 6 Best LLM Tools To Run Models Locally

    Think of Jan as an open-source version of ChatGPT designed to operate offline. It is built by a community of users with a user-owned philosophy. Jan allows you to run popular models like Mistral or Llama on your device without connecting it to the internet. With Jan, you can access remote APIs like OpenAI and Groq.

    It's not a perfect solution but you might consider using something like Jan and connecting an API key to GPT4.

    I focused on supporting Ollama, GPT4All, and LMStudio, all of which run smoothly on a Mac computer. Many of these tools are user-friendly wrappers around Llama.cpp, allowing easy model downloads and providing a REST interface to query the available models. Last week, I also added "👋🏼 Jan" support because HuggingFace has endorsed this provider out-of-the-box.

    seconded - IMHO Jan has the cleanest UI and most straightforward setup out of all LLM frontends available now.
