god i can’t wait for the ai bubble to pop
Google hosting their shit on Microsofts servers and telling you to sideload and not using their own software distribution method for their own OS is kind of crazy if you think about it
Duck.ai doesn’t data mine, and has o3 mini which I have found to be very good. Its got some extra functionality like lines to break up text.
Yeah duck is all over bothered with since it came out since you don’t even need to login to use it.
All the time I spent trying to get rid of gemini just to now download this. Am I stupid?
Excellent, I will be sure not to use this, like all Google shit.
Why would I use this over Ollama?
Ollama can’t run on Android
There is already GPT4All.
Convenient graphical interface, any model you like (for Llama fans - of course it’s there), fully local, easy to opt in or out of data collection, and no fuss to install - it’s just a Linux/Windows/MacOS app.
For Linux folks, it is also available as flatpak for your convenience.
So it doesnt require internet access at all? I would only use these on a disconnected part of my network.
Yes, it works perfectly well without Internet. Tried it both on physically disconnected PC and laptop in airplane mode.
You never heard of ollama or docker model runner?
Android and iOS.
Is the chat uncensored?
And unmonitored? Don’t trust anything from Google anymore.
What makes this better than Ollama?
everything is unmonitored if you don’t connect to the network.
But not everything works in those conditions.
it does if you make it work in those conditions.
software that “phones home” is easy to fool.
Just firewall the software or is there anything more fancy i would need to do?
typically the phone home is looking for a response to unlock.
use a packet sniffer to see what the request/response is and replicate it with a proxy or response server.
this is also know as a man-in-the-middle (mitm).
takes skill and knowledge to do, but once you do a few dozen it’s pretty easy since most software “phone homes” are looking for static non-encrypted responses.
Thanks for the info!
