Artificial Intelligence (AI), and especially Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini, have become part of everyday life for millions of people. There are some concerns around them, though, including data privacy and concentration of power in a small number of big-tech companies. Luckily, we can fight these specific concerns with some open-source and free alternatives for ChatGPT and other LLMs.

They can offer familiar features, like helping with writing, research, or coding, while keeping all more private and open to the community. Their source codes are available on GitHub for anyone to check or collaborate on, and this also means they’re available on Kivach. This is an Obyte-powered donation platform that lets users support any GitHub repo and their developers to optionally redistribute donations with other projects.

If you find these AI assistants useful, remember that you can send them crypto via Kivach!
