Programming
Large Language Model (LLM)
- ChatGPT ← Most Popular Large Language Model, good for most uses. Can be tailored or "improved" by installing extensions.
- Gemini ← Google's LLM with fact checking functionality.
- NotebookLM ← Make your tailored LLM, only references sources (PDFs, Websites, YouTube Videos and MP3) you uploaded. Even makes Podcasts based on the material.
- Google AI Studio ← Use Gemini API for free. Test out unreleased but latest version of Google's LLM.
- Claude ← Personally best LLM for coding and having it write natural sounding texts.
- DeepSeek - Open Source ← An Open Source LLM created by a Chinese hedge fund High-Flyer. Regarded to be one of the best performing LLM.
- Perplexity ← A free AI search engine. Based on my experience Gemini, ChatGPT Search and DeepSeek search provide similar results.
- LM Studio ← An app that allows you to run LLM locally, resulting in no data going to Big Tech's server. Can be used to run DeepSeek on your hardware.
- Ollama + Chatbox AI ← Use these two applications to run any (Open Source including DeepSeek) LLM on your computer without accessing any servers.
- There's An AI For That ← A database that has information on tons of AI tools.
