Sadly completely unusuable for our usecase - if you are targeting Enterprise, you should know better than to use OpenAI models as the only LLM available.

For now I will stick to PrivateGPT and LocalGPT.

Completely unusable for internal docs* should be the caveat. For external doc OpenAI is fine unless you have stuff behind a password.

You may be in a situation where the document is public but the question is confidential, i.e. a user having specific question about an agreement with public TOS that a legal or medical department is managing.

At the very least, I'd start with adding support for the Azure flavor of OpenAI API. It's literally the same models, but the difference is that it's your company deploying those models on Azure, under proper enterprise contract with Microsoft, literally so that they can be safely used with proprietary data.

Yea, that's good feedback - we've gotten requests for open source model support from a lot from people we've talked about. It's one of our highest priorities, and should be available soon!

Are you about to use GPT4ALL[^1] or anything else? If you're going with the second option, then please share any link to such resources... I'd be interested.

And, to share with you something: I saw somewhere a tool (maybe it was GPT4ALL itself) that had the ability to expose a OpenAI-compatible local API on localhost:8080... Ah, yes. Here it is. Actually, there are two. They are described as possible backends for Bavarder (that's a free access to multiple online models, API key is not required): https://bavarder.codeberg.page/help/local/
