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.
