FreeChat

Acerca de esta app

FreeChat is a macOS application designed for users who prioritize privacy and offline functionality when interacting with artificial intelligence. Developed by Peter Sugihara, the app allows users to run large language models directly on their device without an internet connection. This ensures that all conversations remain completely private and are saved locally, eliminating the need for cloud services, subscriptions, or data sharing.

The software supports any GGUF formatted model, including popular options like CodeLlama, Mistral 7B, and Llama 3. Users can customize the AI’s persona and expertise by modifying the system prompt. The application is open source and auditable, providing transparency in its operations. A minimum of 8GB RAM is required for optimal performance. FreeChat offers a straightforward way to explore AI capabilities while maintaining full control over data and model selection.
