GPT4All
Run large language models privately on everyday desktops and laptops without requiring API calls or GPUs.
About
GPT4All is an open-source project that enables users to run large language models (LLMs) locally and privately on standard desktop and laptop devices. It's designed for accessibility, eliminating the need for external API calls or powerful GPUs, though it now supports GPU inference for enhanced performance. The project offers user-friendly installers for Windows, macOS, and Linux, alongside a Python client for programmatic interaction with LLMs. Key features include local chat with personal data via LocalDocs, support for various model architectures including GGUF, and an OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoint for integrating local LLMs into other applications.
