56 points by pancomplex
Hob is an open-source desktop application designed for Mac, Windows, and Linux that operates locally on users’ devices, offering functionalities similar to Claude and ChatGPT. It is licensed under MIT and utilizes open-weight models like Gemma 4 and gpt-oss, ensuring that all user data remains private, as no chats or files are transmitted online unless web search is enabled.
