  • Search and download models from Hugging Face without leaving the app
  • Serves local models on OpenAI-compatible endpoints, locally and over the network
  • No Python and no dependencies; one binary runs the model
  • Quantisation down to 1.5 bits fits big models into small memory
  • Closed source, unlike most of the local-AI stack it builds on
  • Cloud features require an account and a subscription
  • Command line first; the web interface is basic next to dedicated apps
  • Quantising hard reduces answer quality, and the trade-off is yours to judge
