What it does
Conversations never leave your machine because there is no server involved - the model runs in the browser itself, and once loaded it keeps working offline. Supports Llama 3, Mistral and other open models with a ChatGPT-like interface, and needs no installation at all. The requirement is a WebGPU-capable browser and a machine able to hold the model, plus a multi-gigabyte download the first time.
