Decision brief
DistiLlama is a Chrome extension for summarizing and chatting with web pages and local documents using locally running language models to ensure data privacy.
Good fit when
- When you prioritize data privacy and prefer not to send sensitive information over the internet for processing.
- In environments where there's an existing infrastructure for running local language models.
Avoid when
- If your setup does not support the execution of local language models, as this is a prerequisite for using DistiLlama effectively.
- When you require real-time interaction or access to cloud-based resources for more dynamic content generation since local LLMs may be limited by hardware performance.
- Pricing:
- freemium - DistiLlama is free and open source software under the MIT license, however, users are responsible for maintaining and running their own local language models.
