Small Tip

A small tip to support Arbiter

User reviews

Local AI I Can Actually Build Workflows Around

I do a lot of document heavy administrative work involving records that cannot be sent to a hosted service, so local AI is especially valuable to me. Arbiter made it easy to connect a small internal tool to local models through its OpenAI-compatible endpoint and use them for document reading, structured extraction, and drafting without anything leaving my machine. I also appreciate being able to switch models quickly, since some are better at extracting facts while others are better at writing. For my use case, it enables workflows that cloud-based AI simply cannot.
