Frequently asked questions

Is this chat private?

Yes — the LLM runs entirely on your machine. No messages are sent to any external server.

Which model should I start with?

llama3.1:8b is an excellent all-rounder (4.7 GB). For a lighter option try llama3.2:3b (2 GB).

Why is Ollama not showing models?

Make sure Ollama is running (ollama serve) and you have pulled at least one model (ollama pull llama3.2).

Can I use LM Studio instead of Ollama?

Yes — set LLM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:1234/v1 in your .env.local and restart the dev server.
