Hi all, I know ideally you would run a local LLM as per PG’s recommandation, but if you can’t for whatever reason, what would be the next best thing?
From what I’m reading here, there seem to be 3 contenders: duck.ai, lumo (with all its controversies) and pocketpal.
Which would you recommend? Is there a clear winner in terms of strictly privacy? Why or why not? I’m not talking about efficiency in the results here.
