I’ve checked the page you were talking about, and it shows how they have a bunch of different models, which is but an illusion of choice. I think what they’re basically doing over here is that they’re still using ChatGPT’s API, but they’re probably introducing some biases for the way these models talks, using specialized prompts that probably execute before you do the chatting (I think this is possible, but as I’ve never used their API, I cannot confirm this). So you’re chatting with the same bot, that has it’s mannerisms tweaked.
Putting that aside, and if I’m assuming that they’re just like the rest of the other “AI” companies out there, they’re still using OpenAI’s service. The issue with this is that now you’re exposed to a middleman that also has hands over your personal chat, apart from OpenAI. If you want a private LLM, you must run it on a personal instance by yourself.
A better option would be to look around on GitHub for someone’s project, make sure that their front-end has web-app support, pin the web-app onto your iPhone’s desktop I would urge you to check a few such projects on GitHub. Like for example, privateGPT, GPT4ALL (recommended) and Dalai (not recommended), which are completely open-source.
Edit: Yup, they’re most probably using OpenAI’s API, read their privacy policy here.
Can you check out quickly and comment on SideMind (iOS)?
Edit: hope this doesnt come across as too “do shit for me Spidey” :/
