I hope this is not true

But they run locally on the phone, if I’m not completely mistaken. So no use for a server.

Or do they offer this option? I think they explicitly advertise no internet access.

Open-webui is the best self hosted LLM chat interface IMO. It works seamlessly with Ollama, but also supports other openAI-API compatible APIs AFAIK.

I’m using both in combination with each other and both downloading and using models is super easy. Also integrates well with VSCode extension “Continue”, an open source Copilot alternative (setup might require editing the extension’s config file).

It’s better. Not good. Better than other tools, at least in the eyes of the many people using it. But as I stated at another post, to me this speaks to the fact that we need better FOSS alternatives for whatever purposes discord is used. I don’t like Discord either, don’t get me wrong! But so many people using it means something’s missing and I don’t think it cab solely be explained by the lack of knowledge of existing solutions but at least partly by the existence itself.

He wrote code that was so bad, all that was kept from x.com when it was bought was its name. The actual code was taken from another company acquired at the same time.

I think he was being sarcastic, playing with words. Meaning, that you trade in time, runtime and memory and get nothing in return :D so a pretty bad trade haha.

Of course it’s worse, I mean, that was the point of this blogpost, wasn’t it? :p It’s just a (long) joke.

Beautiful

You’ll be able to connect with people by giving out your username instead of your phone number. You will however still be required to register using your phone number, if I’m not completely mistaken.

So you can buy a burner phone (number) to receive the registration code and you’re good. Perhaps need to keep the number for migrating to new phone though.
