All the time I spent trying to get rid of gemini just to now download this. Am I stupid?
JustARegularNerd@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day ago
I wouldn’t think so - it depends on your priorities.
The open source and offline nature of this without the pretenses of “Hey, we’re gonna use every query you give as a data point to shove more products down your face” seems very appealing over Gemini. There’s also that Gemini is constantly being shoved in our faces and preinstalled, whereas this is a completely optional download.

Why would I use this over Ollama?
Greg@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
Ollama can’t run on Android
AmbiguousProps@lemmy.today 2 days ago
That’s fair, but I think I’d rather self host an Ollama server and connect to it with an Android client in that case. Much better performance.

Is there any useful model you can run on a phone?
gens@programming.dev 1 day ago
Llama.cpp (on which ollama runs on) can. And many chat programs for phones can use it.

Duck.ai doesn’t data mine, and has o3 mini which I have found to be very good. Its got some extra functionality like lines to break up text.

Nice! I saw Mozilla also added an ai chat in the browser recently (not in the phone version that I have seen tho).
It is too bad duck.ai only runs the small models. Gpt4o-mini is not very good, it can be very inaccurate and very inconsistent :( I would like to see the 4.1-mini instead, faster and better and got function calling, so it can do web searches for example. O3 can’t so it can only know what it knows until 2023.
But thanks for the information I will be looking out for when 4.1 is added!

I’ve been using duck.ai recently myself and quite like it. My only complaint with it is that the chats have a length limit, so if you’re working on complex projects you can run into those limits pretty quick. I use it for worldbuilding for a novel I’m working on and I have to use chatgpt for thematic stuff because it has a better memory, but otherwise it’s great for quick/small things.

Yeah duck is all over bothered with since it came out since you don’t even need to login to use it.

Google hosting their shit on Microsofts servers and telling you to sideload and not using their own software distribution method for their own OS is kind of crazy if you think about it

Wonder what this has over its competitors, I hesitate to think they released this for fun though

Didn’t know about this. Checking it out now, thanks!

Is the chat uncensored?
ofcourse@lemmy.ml 2 days ago
Censoring is model dependent so you can select one of the models without the guardrails.

Excellent, I will be sure not to use this, like all Google shit.
