"Recently, however, I came across another open-source tool that has some really cool features. That tool is GPT4All. GPT4All is released under the MIT License and can be installed and used on Linux, MacOS, and Windows for free. It includes all the usual features, such as the ability to add multiple LLMs, follow-ups, no API calls or GPUs required, full customization, local document chat (LocalDocs), and support for thousands of models."
"As far as AI is concerned, I have a few rules for myself: It's not for creative purposes, it's not to be used as a writing crutch, and whenever possible, go local. That's a fairly straightforward list, which, to date, hasn't been all too challenging to adhere to. For the longest time, I've opted to go with Ollama because it's local, runs on all desktop platforms, and is open source."
GPT4All is released under the MIT License and runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows for free. It supports adding multiple LLMs, follow-up prompts, LocalDocs for chatting with local documents, full customization, and thousands of compatible models without requiring API calls or GPUs. Installation on macOS and Windows uses simple installers, while Linux installations can fail due to missing Qt or X11 libraries depending on distribution and desktop environment. KDE Neon proved compatible after failures on Pop!_OS and Fedora with missing libraries. GPT4All serves as a capable local AI alternative to other desktop LLM tools.
