What it does

GPT4All is a chatbot application that runs on your own computer. The page says it keeps data on the machine and needs no cloud, and it offers downloads for macOS, Windows, Windows ARM and Ubuntu. The app works with open-source language models and is offered for Windows, macOS and Linux. The page highlights customization, a LocalDocs feature for chatting with local documents, and support for thousands of models, and it pitches the app at developers, teams and heavy AI users who want control over security and speed. The page sits on Nomic's website, which mostly promotes separate Nomic products: a platform and an agent API for firms that design and build. Those are not part of GPT4All, and the page does not say what the GPT4All app itself costs.
