    App version: 11.4200

    The good: I use it on macOS and with my own local LLM (using Ollama). It is convenient and works. There are other free alternatives, but this works easier. The bad: 1. Setapp basic LLM credit allotments is not sufficient for anything meaningful and if I shoudl pay for them, it is cheaper to buy OpenAI/Geminy and use it directly through their app. 2. Their app for iOS is useless, it is basically keybnoard, not Elephas app, even though I have M3 iPad which can run pretty powerful local LLM models. Overall: not sure this is useful tool for most. If you are epxerienced enough to make this work locally with good enough LLM models, you are good enough to find free alternatives, like Witsy for macOS or Apollo on iOS. Unless you need smarter keyboard, but you will likely run out of credits quickly.

    App version: 11.4200

    Brilliant app very underrated I use it with all my API keys for Chat GTP and Claude but also with LM Studio so I can use it off-line again great app very underrated. Update: Does not seem to be updated often, and doesn't move at the same pace as many other apps. For example, LM Studio, Anything LLM or Typing Mind. For instance, I'm trying to create an agent for Perplexity, but that seems to be impossible. It’s also quite overpriced lifetime version is US$349 nearly AUD 600 which is crazy when Anything LLM with similar features is free.

    Hi, I appreciate the feedback, we will review the Perplexity issue, we have made decent amount of improvements including enhanced agentic mode support. Elephas is more of a NotebookLM for Mac, allowing you to bring your own data. That is the direction we are leaning in, we will continue to make improvements. You can email us at [email protected] for further details. On a note, Elephas website price may not be relevant here as with Setapp it comes under a single subscription.
