Pete's Goals for LLM Users

will need to be updated as the ecosystems evolve

• powerful local LLM(s), easily managed
• cheap access to GPT-4 or higher SOTA LLM
• chat interface
• easy export of conversations (ideally to Markdown)
• ease of use
• open source preferred

Other Benefits

• no tracking or surveillance
• conversations not used for training some company's AI
