Here's what you can trust: https://lmstudio.ai/

Otherwise, only ask it generic coding questions that any student studying your topic would, and then there would be nothing to distrust over.

Looks very similar to "Jan". I wonder if it's a fork (or the other way around).

[–] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

Probably not a fork as Jan is AGPL and LM Studio is mostly proprietary

[–] Flagstaff@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago

Interesting, this is my first time learning about Jan, and frankly, it looks better! I think I'll pivot...

Seems interesting, but I don't have a computer to run it…

Then try: https://gpt4all.io/index.html

It won't be strong, though. I'd just probably use DeepSeek but restrict questions to generic ones, like how to build a spreadsheet formula or something. Don't ask for life advice lol; do that here in !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world or !mentalhealth@lemmy.world.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I don't get it, does it runs on the website or has a downloadable version for Android?

Neither; both of these are downloaded for offline running on PCs only. Androids aren't typically powerful enough for any meaningful offline AI.
