You want to chat with a generative AI model on a Windows PC and need a desktop window to load it. GPT4All, from Nomic, is a GUI built for that.
Free price and MIT licence
GPT4All is free and uses the MIT licence. It has no ads or in-app purchases. The 710 MB installer comes from the official GitHub server, and we do not host it.
Loading models and remote providers
The app loads generative AI models and lets you interact with them. Version 3.10.0 gives remote providers their own tab on the Add Model page, with Groq, OpenAI and Mistral easier to set up.
Release of February 25, 2025
Version 3.10.0 arrived on that date with several crash fixes.
What's new in 3.10.0
Granite non-MoE models are now supported, and DeepSeek-R1-based models have better whitespace in their output.
