GPT4All-J (Nomic AI): Apache 2.0 licensed model and desktop client
In one sentence Nomic AI releases GPT4All-J, an assistant based on GPT-J 6B under the Apache 2.0 license, together with a native desktop chat client with installers for Windows, macOS and Ubuntu, built to run the model locally with no command line.
The first GPT4All, released at the end of March 2023, was based on Meta's LLaMA, which could not be used freely. In mid-April 2023 Nomic AI publishes GPT4All-J: the same kind of assistant, but built on EleutherAI's GPT-J 6B and released under the Apache 2.0 license, so it can also be used commercially.
Along with the model comes a desktop chat application, with installers for Windows, macOS and Ubuntu and the model already bundled. You download it, install it and chat locally, with no Python and no terminal.
It is one of the steps that took local AI beyond developers: no account, no external servers, everything on your own PC.
