About GPT4All

GPT4All is an ecosystem to run powerful and customized large language models that work locally on consumer grade CPUs and NVIDIA and AMD GPUs. Note that your CPU needs to support AVX instructions.

Learn more in the documentation.

A GPT4All model is a 3GB - 8GB file that you can download and plug into the GPT4All software. Nomic AI supports and maintains this software ecosystem to enforce quality and security alongside spearheading the effort to allow any person or enterprise to easily deploy their own on-edge large language models.

What's New

  • October 19th, 2023: GGUF Support Launches with Support for:
    • Mistral 7b base model, an updated model gallery on gpt4all.io, several new local code models including Rift Coder v1.5
    • Nomic Vulkan support for Q4_0 and Q4_1 quantizations in GGUF.
    • Offline build support for running old versions of the GPT4All Local LLM Chat Client.
  • September 18th, 2023: Nomic Vulkan launches supporting local LLM inference on NVIDIA and AMD GPUs.
  • July 2023: Stable support for LocalDocs, a feature that allows you to privately and locally chat with your data.
  • June 28th, 2023: Docker-based API server launches allowing inference of local LLMs from an OpenAI-compatible HTTP endpoint.
