quantas··on Web fingerprinting is worse than I thought (2023)
Even if they make it illegal, it won't stop bad actors especially from foreign countries to abuse stuff like this. It's better to build better systems that fix this issue instead of relying on government laws.

You could compare it to the concept of security by obscurity which is obviously bad.

I answered this in another reply just above. Let me know if anything’s unclear!
quantas··on Show HN: AnyLM – ChatGPT-Like UI for Local LLMs
Hey thanks for the response!

The difference to OpenWebUI is that you don't have to host anything and that it's native, compiled code written in flutter. This has multiple advantages:

1. We'll be able to ship the same features across platforms while still feeling native. (Android, iOS and macOS releases coming soon)

2. You don't have to run a docker container on your pc if you don't have a server

The model selection on OpenWebUI also shows every possible model without having the ability to choose which models you want to see in the selector. We solved that in AnyLM with custom model selection (it's pretty easy to understand if you try out the app).

Not to bash OpenWebUI. Honestly they did a very good job and it's even open source but yeah

About the linux support: You were actually the first one to ask me for this and it's definitely possible to do. I will put this in the roadmap :)

Thank you, what does GTM mean?

A "native" LLM chat application that looks very similar to ChatGPT but all chats are saved locally and you can use multiple providers. The reason I've built this is because I've used many "api wrappers" but none of them felt as good as for example ChatGPT's or Anthropic's interface. So the goal was to build the best "api wrapper" possible with no subscription. https://anylm.app
