  • I'm in the process of installing https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT will check this one out afterwards.

    • The biggest difference seems to be that you can let privateGPT to let analyze your own files. Didn't see that functionality in Jan.

    • One difference is that Jan is increadibly easy to install, just download the AppImage, make it executable and start it.

      • @jeena And absolutely nothing can go wrong by downloading random files from the internet based on contemporary hype, making them executable and starting them...

        • As opposed to cloning a random repository and running make or something?

          • @xigoi Is that something you do?

            • How else would you install something that doesn’t happen to be in your favorite package manager?

              • @xigoi Are you actually trying to get malware into your computer? Don't install **random** shiny new things without maximum skepticism. Period. Just let some other fools "test" the minefield for you. Or do a proper inspection. Executing foreign code just because it had "GPT" in the name... and acting like there was no other option... yuck!
