I'm going to have to try the selfhosted variants now. What a huge piece of shit.
Any recommendations?
OpenWebUI? pretty easy to selfhost and works wonders on my rtx a6000
OpenWebUI says it's designed to operate entirely offline - that's not an alternative to Perplexity. I need online search functionality, that's pretty much the only reason why I pay them. I have offline solutions set up on my pc.
oh, sorry. never used perplexity so i didnt know. if you find a viable alternative tell me pls
OWui has a search module which can be enabled. For me, running it entirely offline is more or less the draw. I think it also supports RAG search, although I don't know how "good" it is.. mostly I was just after a little magic box to play with.
Now, if only enterprise glass GPU's weren't so power hungry and expensive..
