AI chatbots have taken the world by storm—and leading the charge is OpenAI’s ChatGPT. But as powerful as it is, ChatGPT comes with limitations: it ...

That's a good one, Emmanuel! Nice to know local-run, privacy-first LLM chatbots!
You’re welcome. Glad you like the list.
Ollama is my favourite! I use it with Open WebUI
Oh yeah. Ollama is really a good one
Another cool list, thx Emmanuel!
You’re welcome.
Awesome list! I learned a lot of tools from your articles. Thank you.
Absolutely loving how many solid local LLM options have popped up lately - offline control is a game changer for privacy. Which of these tools has been the most stable for you in daily use?
I would go for Ollama any day.
If you're looking to build an internal, chat-based knowledge base with AI agents on top of your own data, I can also recommend Enthusiast.
It says it's for e-commerce but it's suitable to any knowledge-heavy use case where you need private, RAG-powered automation.
Curious to hear if anyone else here is building with RAG + agents. Happy to exchange ideas.
If you want something solid but not too complicated, GPT-NeoX is a great pick. It's powerful, open-source, and gets you a lot of what ChatGPT offers, all running right on your machine. But if you’re after something a little lighter, GPT-J is a nice alternative. It’s also open-source and doesn’t require a super beefy setup to work well.
At the end of the day, it really comes down to what your system can handle and what you need. These models each have their sweet spots, so it’s all about finding the one that fits your project.
A great list 🔥 ,@therealmrmumba any LLM's ideal for content creation
Msty deserves a shout (msty.app). Great UI, lots of features. Can run models locally or use a remote model provider
Awesome
Should've included the hardware requirements running these and tested it
Good one
Which of these has best support for MCP protocol
You forgot ChatRTX by Nvidia
Great article Emmanuel, with premium & practical information. I use GPT4all & got this info from xpertprompts, which talks about chatgpt prompts which are helpful for users.
Sadly all of them don't work on Linux!!!
Wrong. Ollama, Jan, LMstudio, AnythingLLM. This issue of soft availability on Linux really does not exist anymore
Great list! Running AI models locally is a game-changer for privacy and control. Definitely trying a few of these!
It's good, I think ollama.com is easy to install
Immensely helpful. Thank you so much for sharing this incredible list.
Perfect article!
