MindWork AI Studio is a desktop application available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It provides a unified chat interface for Large Language Models (LLMs). You bring your own API key for the respective LLM provider to use the models. The API keys are securely stored by the operating system.

Key advantages:

• Free of charge: The app is free to use, both for personal and commercial purposes.
• Independence: You are not tied to any single provider. Instead, you can choose the provider that best suits their needs. Right now, we support OpenAI (GPT4o etc.), Mistral, Anthropic (Claude), and self-hosted models using llama.cpp, ollama, LM Studio, or Fireworks. Support for Google Gemini, and Replicate is planned.
• Unrestricted usage: Unlike services like ChatGPT, which impose limits after intensive use, MindWork AI Studio offers unlimited usage through the providers API.
• Cost-effective: You only pay for what you use, which can be cheaper than monthly subscription services like ChatGPT Plus, especially if used infrequently. But beware, here be dragons: For extremely intensive usage, the API costs can be significantly higher. Unfortunately, providers currently do not offer a way to display current costs in the app. Therefore, check your account with the respective provider to see how your costs are developing. When available, use prepaid and set a cost limit.
• Privacy: The data entered into the app is not used for training by the providers since we are using the provider's API.
• Flexibility: Choose the provider and model best suited for your current task.
• No bloatware: The app requires minimal storage for installation and operates with low memory usage. Additionally, it has a minimal impact on system resources, which is beneficial for battery life.
