Try different generative language models with LatentChat, a fully offline, on-device private AI chatbot. LatentChat is ready to use right out of the box. Ask questions, brainstorm, reason, transcribe speech, add your own models and create with your customized chat companion from anywhere, even without an internet connection. - Local chat Try models like Llama, Gemma, Qwen and Mistral or use your own local LLMs by selecting your preferred open-source language models stored on your device. Reasoning models are supported, too. - Remote chat LatentChat can be used as a client to connect to any OpenAI-compatible and Anthropic-compatible API endpoint, whether it is running on your own private servers like Ollama, LM Studio or on cloud services OpenRouter (Bring your own API Key). - Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Create your knowledge center from text or files (PDF, TXT, JSON, HTML) and retrieve your documents while you chat to ask related questions or summarize. A RAG system can also help the model reduce hallucinations by referencing the knowledge you added. - Vision capabilities Try multimodal models like Qwen 3 VL, InternVL and LFM2.5 with vision capabilities, to analyze images or extract text. - Transcription and Voice (STT and TTS) Transcribe recordings or audio files with Whisper and read messages aloud with different voice styles. Multiple languages are supported. - System Prompts Use System Prompts to personalize your conversations by providing custom instructions that can modify the behavior or personality of the AI.

They argue so you don't have to. OrchIA puts the three frontier AI models — Claude, Gemini, and GPT — on the same problem. Each one analyses independently, cross-reviews the others, and flags the gaps. The strongest ideas survive. You get one clear answer. How it works — 5 phases: 1. Proposals — Claude, Gemini, and GPT each analyse your task independently, with no influence from each other. 2. Cross-Review — each model reads the other two's proposals, pushes back, and flags the gaps. 3. Reconciliation — the models converge, incorporating the strongest thinking from all three. 4. Validation — the reconciled plan is stress-tested for blind spots and edge cases. 5. Summary — one unified answer, with explicit agreement and disagreement points so you know what to trust. Why three models: Every large language model has blind spots. Claude is careful and structured. Gemini is broad and creative. GPT is decisive and direct. Put all three on the same hard problem and they catch each other's mistakes. Private by design: No tracking SDKs, no ad networks, no analytics resold to third parties. Built and hosted in Europe. Export everything you own and delete your account from inside the app. The three frontier AI models finally join forces. They argue so you don't have to. Never get stuck again.
