GPT4All-7B

Local-First Chat AI for Privacy & Customization

What is GPT4All-7B?

GPT4All-7B is a 7-billion-parameter instruction-tuned large language model, released as part of the GPT4All project by Nomic AI. Built on LLaMA and MPT-based variants, GPT4All-7B enables fully offline, private chat AI applications, designed for easy deployment on consumer-grade hardware.

Unlike cloud-bound LLMs, GPT4All is optimized for local environments, giving users full control, security, and transparency for building assistants, research tools, or internal automations.
