Jan is another great recommendation!


I’m keeping an eye on Ollama’s service offerings - I don’t think they’re in enshittification territory yet, but I definitely share the concern.
I still don’t believe the other LLM engines out there have reached an equivalent ease of use compared to Ollama, and I still recommend it for now. If nothing else, it can be a stepping stone to other solutions for some.


In case you’re not aware, there are a decent number of open weight (and some open source) large language models.
The Ollama project makes it very approachable to download and use these models.


The login page for the old apps is at the bottom of the page in the footer.
That being said, I really miss this being a premium offering.


Thank you! That is exactly my point.


That’s not quite the same - that gives you the appearance of being a local device, which is enough to fool the restriction.
Their policy and technology enforcement is to charge for remote access, not relaying.


They charge for remote access whether it’s through their relay service or not, and you can’t opt out of fallback to their relay service.


A fair point, but you misrepresented the nature of the link all the same.

Deepseek R1 and OpenThinker are two more examples. There’s also SmolLM, which I believe also open sources its training data and ensures proper licensing for it.
