| Hey, all chats are stored locally. Also, it is open source:

|
| I think the long term AI chat is just relatively new as a UI
| pattern, and so it takes time to build patterns around it.
|
| Ex: in 2023 I told GPT to answer all questions like a pirate. I
| never told it to stop doing that, so if we're loading every
| historical chat in memory, should it still be answering as a
| pirate?

|
| Nope, with an infinite context window the LLM would take
| forever to give you an answer. Therefore it would be useless.
|
| We don't really have such a thing as a context window, it's
| an artifact of LLM architecture. We are building a ton of
| technology around it but who's to say it's the right
| approach?
|
| Maybe the best AIs will only use a very tiny LLM for actual
| language processing while delegating storage and compression
| of memories to something that's actually built for that.
| layer8 wrote:
| You need something like this if you want to use them as a

| yourself, for anyone to know which chats are your favorites.
