What’s the chrome app?
Is nano GPT 100% offline? Or self hosted?
I see two: Cromite (Green) and Vanadium (Gray, Chromium variant by GrapheneOS)
Cromite
Fixed the name now, thank you. With all the chromium variants out there, I had it as cHromite in my head
Understandable. The name is a play on the Bromite, which is the dead project Cromite forked from.
NanoGPT is more "no-logs" from what I understand buttt you can pay in XMR and have a dedicated "account" (you get a sign in link to keep safe) and run it under tor
In NanoGPT You also got TEE (Trusted Execution Environment) models which are more private/secure from my understanding. From GPT-OSS 120B TEE:
"TEE‑based AI models run their inference or training inside a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), a hardware‑secured enclave that isolates code and data from the rest of the system. This provides data confidentiality, protects the model’s IP, enables cryptographic attestation of the exact model version, and satisfies regulatory privacy requirements, making AI services trustworthy and suitable for secure multi‑party or decentralized applications." One downside is that they are usually pretty expensive to run
