Liquid Apollo vs TsuiuChat

Chat with private, local AI models, connect to every open source AI, or your own locally-hosted private LLMs. Apollo is your own customizable client for accessing language models from all around the web. Local model support (powered by LEAP, a Liquid AI product): run smaller LLMs privately and securely on-device. OpenRouter support: bring an OpenRouter API key to chat with every model on the web. Just sign in by creating an account over at OpenRouter and paste it in to Apollo to access nearly every model, from open source models like Meta Llama 3, to closed source models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT-4. Custom Backend support: want ChatGPT at home? Run an LLM on your computer with tools like LM Studio or Ollama and connect to it with Apollo to host your own private ChatGPT-like mobile app for your family.

TsuiuChat is a private, on-device AI chat app. The name comes from a dialect word for "freedom" - because that is what local AI should feel like. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No server. Your conversations run entirely on your iPhone, powered by on-device AI models (Apple MLX). Nothing you type ever leaves your device unless you explicitly ask it to - a web search, or a cloud service you choose to configure yourself. FREE. FOREVER. NO USAGE CAPS. - Unlimited AI chat, fully on-device: no trial period, no daily limits - Private web search: news, weather, wiki, and general questions - Image generation via Apple Image Playground (on supported devices) - Bring your own server: connect to a self-hosted Ollama or LM Studio instance - 8 languages: English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish UNLOCK PRO YOUR LOCAL TAVERN (role-play) Chat with built-in characters, write your own personas, or run multi-character scenes. Start from a trending scenario template and cast your own characters into it, or import a character card from the community. KNOWLEDGE FREEDOM (private PDF library) Import PDFs and ask questions grounded in your own documents. Answers come with page citations, and with an actual screenshot of the cited page, so you can see the source for yourself instead of just a page number. Exportable too. MODEL FREEDOM Choose your own model per task, including larger, more capable local models downloaded from the community. FINE-TUNING FREEDOM Full control over generation parameters, plus cross-conversation memory, so the app remembers relevant facts across chats. CLOUD IMAGE GENERATION Bring your own API key.
