GitHub has the code. Everyone should fork it to everywhere so they cannot delete it
It is such a lie that data is sent back to china.
It can be run without internet connection.
They're just pissy that it outperforms their proprietary pieces of shit, thus the psyop campaign.
As you say, even with Internet connection, LLMs only infer. The software you run it on (or online) is a different story, and it's literally already the case with everything else for decades (although it is getting worse).
We weren't upset enough when Google started scraping everyone's emails, or how Meta/Amazon/Google/Microsoft/ByteDance track all your Internet activity right now via browser fingerprinting.
Time to ditch browsers lol
Presumably this is referring to using the online portal to use it. I don't trust any of those, Chinese or otherwise. I run it locally.
LMStudio is the current software I use to manage LLMs, and I really like it. There's a user-made app for Android that let's you use it if you're on the same network (or if you set it up to use on the internet) There are other options though.
