It hosts 20+ open-source AI models including Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, and Mistral with end-to-end encryption. Your conversations are encrypted on your device, and your private key never leaves in plaintext. Switch between models without losing context, search Reddit and X inside chat, and generate images while keeping your data under your control.
