And no i do not have the privilege of running a local model. I have heard of a AI called Maple and tried it out, it was pretty limited to the point that it was a deal breaker (25 messages per week cap). I would like to know more services
http://duck.ai/ maybe?
“If something is free, you are the product”
If you’re not providing your own compute power or your money (and you’re not safe even if you pay most providers), expect the payment to come from your personal information or conversation contents being harvested. I’m not sure what magical service you’re expecting that doesn’t involve self-hosting for truly private conversations - you’re just accessing someone else’s machine if you’re not hosting it yourself, and you’re at their mercy.
Paid commercial LLM providers already profit off of inputs more than outputs, so I wouldn’t trust any free cloud offering to be private. If you really want free and private, self-hosted is the only way to go
Lumo by Proton is private and free, however, it’s not very good (at least on free tier).
Duck.ai claims to be private, but you can never trust an American company on that.You should not trust any company with your privacy regardless of where they’re located. Proton is logging what you’re doing just as much as anyone else.
OpenRouter has some decently powerful free-to-use models, but I’m afraid as far as LLMs go ‘free’, ‘good’, and ‘private’ are going to be pretty mutually exclusive if you can’t run one locally.
Bruv it looks like it was made by a 10 year old 😭
