Has this ever happened to you? You just want to use ChatGPT and then this happens: 🤯 "Bad Gateway" – not reachable!
Online chatbots like ChatGPT are very useful . But our example shows how important it is not to rely solely on them.
The solution? Open source! 🚀
There are great projects that offer a real alternative to the large online AI services.
There are powerful alternatives to OpenAI's ChatGPT , Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude.
Option 1: 100% local
- Runs on your own computer and is always available (even if the Internet goes crazy 😉).
- However, you need a powerful computer and IT knowledge.
Option 2: Internal server
- Runs on your company server. Your employees can use this solution just as easily as ChatGPT.
- Your server must be powerful enough for this (keyword GPU) and your IT department's knowledge should be up to date on AI and LLMs.
Variant 3: AI Service Partner
- Runs in a partner's data center. This is the closest thing to ChatGPT.
- In this variant, you can rely on the experts and enjoy all the benefits of an LLM and an intuitive user interface.
Let's look at the pros and cons at a glance
Disadvantages
- Open source models are not (yet) as powerful as those of the big tech companies.
- The start-up costs in the first two variants are high.
- The further development and bug fixing of open source projects depends on the community .
Advantages
- Your data is safe . You can use internal company data in your chats without bad feelings. Find out about more here: Data protection with local AI models
- In all three variants you have more flexibility and options to adapt the AI models or the user interface to your needs.
- Open source models are usually free and can save costs on the long run.
