@Tfmonkey Thought I'd share this finding: https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all
GPT4All is an LLM capable of running locally on your system. Calculations don't take place in a far away server and it fits in most modern laptops.
It is much more limited as an assistant than the corporate models but you have full access to its training set and model type.
It's significant to me due to being able to build your own AI and keep your exchanges with it private. You can load your own training set, too.
