ChatGPT down? How to stay productive anyway!

Jürgen Koprax

Has this ever happened to you? You just want to use ChatGPT and then this happens: 🤯 "Bad Gateway" – not reachable!

Online chatbots like ChatGPT are very useful . But our example shows how important it is not to rely solely on them.

The solution? Open source! 🚀

There are great projects that offer a real alternative to the large online AI services.

There are powerful alternatives to OpenAI's ChatGPT , Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude.

Option 1: 100% local

  • Runs on your own computer and is always available (even if the Internet goes crazy 😉).
  • However, you need a powerful computer and IT knowledge.

Option 2: Internal server

  • Runs on your company server. Your employees can use this solution just as easily as ChatGPT.
  • Your server must be powerful enough for this (keyword GPU) and your IT department's knowledge should be up to date on AI and LLMs.

Variant 3: AI Service Partner

  • Runs in a partner's data center. This is the closest thing to ChatGPT.
  • In this variant, you can rely on the experts and enjoy all the benefits of an LLM and an intuitive user interface.

Let's look at the pros and cons at a glance

Disadvantages

  • Open source models are not (yet) as powerful as those of the big tech companies.
  • The start-up costs in the first two variants are high.
  • The further development and bug fixing of open source projects depends on the community .

Advantages

  • Your data is safe . You can use internal company data in your chats without bad feelings. Find out about more here: Data protection with local AI models
  • In all three variants you have more flexibility and options to adapt the AI ​​models or the user interface to your needs.
  • Open source models are usually free and can save costs on the long run.
