No config. Usable by people who haven't heard of models, prompts, or LLMs.
Performance and simplicity over dev experience or features. Notes not Word, Swift not Elektron.
Local first. Core functionality should not require an internet connection.
No conversation tracking. Talk about whatever you want with FreeChat, just like Notes.
Open source. What's the point of running local AI if you can't audit that it's actually running locally?
Upgrade your models
Once you're up and running, it's fun to try different models in FreeChat. The AI training community is releasing new models basically every day. FreeChat is compatible with any gguf formatted model that llama.cpp works with.
Models are usually named with their parameter count (e.g. 7B) and are formatted with different levels of lossy compression applied (quantization). The general rule of thumb is that models with more parameters tend to be slower and wiser and more quantization makes it dumber.
To find models, try Hugging Face. Most models have a linked "model card" by the author that discusses its training and abilities.
Dev Setup
Open mac/FreeChat.xcodeproj
Run and fix errors
Roadmap / TODO (roughly in order):
[x] Chat with Llama 3 without installing anything else
[x] Try any llama.cpp compatible model
[x] Change system prompts to modify personas or expertise
[x] Download models from within the app (shrink app from 3GB to 10mb, way better for updates)
[x] Advanced settings (prompt format, temperature, repeat penalty)
[ ] Personas - save system prompt / model settings for later and change personas when you create a new conversation
[ ] Search conversations
