Local models are incredibly effective for enhancing daily tasks like proofreading, checking emails for spelling and grammatical errors, quickly creating image descriptions, transcribing audio to text, or even finding that one quote buried in tons of files that answers a recurring question.</p><p>However, if I wanted to be fully transparent to <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/bigtech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bigtech</span></a>, I would use Windows and Android with all the "big brotherly goodness" baked into them. That's why I hope these tools don't connect to third-party servers.</p><p>So, my question to you is: Do you propose a privacy-oriented and locally/self-hosted first LLM?</p><p>I'm not opposed to the general notion of using AI, and if done locally and open-source, I really think it could enhance the desktop experience. Even the terminal could use some AI integration, especially for spell-checking and syntax-checking those convoluted and long commands. I would love a self-hosted integration of some AI features. 🌟💻 <br><a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/LocalModels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LocalModels</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/SelfHosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SelfHosted</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/LinuxAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LinuxAI</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/LocalLLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LocalLLM</span></a> <a href="https://hear-me.social/tags/LocalAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LocalAI</span></a></p>
