About GPT4ALL
What it is
GPT4All runs open language models on an ordinary computer, without a graphics card. It provides a desktop chat application, downloads models for you, and can answer questions against your own local documents.
Why it's different
Running on a normal CPU is the distinguishing feature and it matters, because most local-model tools assume a powerful GPU and this makes local AI possible on an ordinary work laptop. Everything stays on the machine, which is why most people want it. The limits follow directly: CPU inference is slow compared with a graphics card, and models small enough to work this way are noticeably weaker than anything hosted, so it suits patience and privacy rather than difficult work.
How people use it
Running a model on a machine with no dedicated graphics card. Working with documents that cannot be uploaded anywhere. Using an assistant with no internet connection. Expect to wait for answers, because the trade here is speed and capability in exchange for nothing leaving your computer.
