How to easily run your favorite local AI models on Linux with this handy app.
With GPT4ALL, you can easily switch between local LLMs like Llama, DeepSeek R1, Mistral Instruct, Orca, and more. It’s also available on MacOS and Windows.
I’ve been using AI as one of my go-to tools for research for some time now. Although there are plenty of options that can be accessed via a web browser (such as Opera’s Aria, the first AI service I ever used), I prefer desktop tools because I can install and use local LLMs — so all of my queries remain private. With a desktop tool, I can easily switch between local LLMs like Llama, DeepSeek R1, Mistral Instruct, Orca, GPT4All Falcon, and more.
Until now, my default Linux AI GUI had been Msty, but I’ve found a new app that’s just as good. That app is GPT4ALL, available for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.
GPT4ALL can be used for standard queries, as a personal writing assistant, to write code, and more. It also happens to have a fantastic UI that is easy to use and will fit in directly with the look and feel of your desktop.
