Hob: open-source desktop app runs local AI chatbots
Original: Hob : une alternative open source à Claude et ChatGPT, qui fait tourner des modèles open-weight comme Gemma et gpt-oss d
A free open-source tool called Hob offers an alternative to Claude and ChatGPT by running open-weight models such as Google's Gemma and OpenAI's gpt-oss directly on users' computers. It automatically picks the best model for the machine and handles all configuration. The software is released under the MIT licence, works fully offline, and keeps data private. Early commentary online focuses on the appeal of local, free AI assistants.
Why now: Growing interest in running AI models locally without paying or sharing data with major providers
