Pliny

Pliny has closed, and the team has shifted focus to Faraday.dev.

Faraday.dev is an offline-first, zero-configuration desktop application. Its core function is supporting chatting with AI Characters.

Main Features:

• Supports running over 100 different open-source LLMs, all running locally on the user's machine.
• Operates without needing to touch the command line, lowering the barrier to deploying local LLMs.
• Supports Llama 2 models.
• Supports GPU acceleration.

Target Users: Users who want to run open-source LLMs locally with zero configuration and chat with AI characters.

Core Advantages: Offline-first ensures privacy and usability without internet; zero-configuration and no command line requirement greatly lower the operational barrier; GPU acceleration enhances local performance.

Pricing: The page does not explicitly mention pricing or fee models, but as a desktop app supporting local open-source models, basic usage is implied to be free.
