What is GPT4All?

GPT4All is an open-source AI tool developed by Nomic AI that runs locally on your computer. It works on standard CPUs — no internet connection or dedicated graphics card required. It provides text understanding, document summarization, writing assistance, coding advice, and a chat feature that works across most devices. You can also create your own custom language models while keeping your data local.
