The limitation that matters
The app's permissive software license does not license every model or its outputs. Check each model's commercial terms and hardware requirements.
Local models run without API calls and do not require a dedicated GPU. Memory, storage, and speed depend on the chosen model. The catalog lists model-specific RAM needs and licenses; optional remote APIs send prompts to the provider and follow its billing.
Plan details can change. A source check confirms published information; it is not a hands-on quality review or a guarantee that the plan fits every project.
