Comments and Reviews
Open Source, Local LLM
Download for Windows is 390 MB. Won't install due to difficulty in writing to bun.exe. I probably need to redo my java program.
It runs fast thanks to good hardware support, and the GUI is well-designed. There is an experimental RAG feature, but it's not functioning properly at the moment. It also offers some settings that allow you to adjust the model parameters.
Pros: Clean design.
Cons: Heavy weight. Response regeneration sometimes causes errors. Impossible to switch between answers.
