Want to use some form of ChatGPT but don't want to use the cloud? Run ChatGPT4all locally. It has an API server in the options menus too. (lemdit.com)

Hey was looking for an easily locally hosted version of ChatGPT and I found it. These guys are doing great work and their application is solid.

It’s not ChatGPT’s API. It runs locally, no internet required. For those interested read more here: https://gpt4all.io/index.html

They've now added the ability to use OpenAI GPT 3.5/4 APIs by supplying your own key, I believe.

Wouldn't the api hit the cloud, isn't it just a different interface?

I’m not sure you understand how an API works.

To clear that up calling an API doesn’t mean you run it locally. It just means you can call the cloud service directly from your app/cli/computer without going to the openai website.

I'm not sure you understand how the product works. You can search up the name easily.

It runs locally.

It seems to run locally, along with exposing an API to the local machine it’s running on
