I think if you can self host language tool, it would still be the better option.

#12Which LLM is running with Harper?
None

#13"Me and Jennifer went to have seen the ducks cousin."
No errors detected. So this needs a lot of rule contributions to get to Grammarly level.

#14Looks awesome! I’ll give it a try over language tool.
Is there any reason why there is no firefox extension?

#16Slightly controversial compared to other comments here but I haven't used Grammerly at all since LLMs came out. Even a 4B local LLM is good enough to rephrase all forms of text and fix most grammer mistakes.

#19IMO not using LLMs is a big plus in my book. Grammarly has been going downhill since they've been larding it with "AI features," it has become remarkably inconsistent. It will tell me to remove a comma one hour, and then tell me to add it back the next.
So is there a similar tool but based on an LLM?
Not that I think LLM is always better, but it would be interesting to compare these two approaches.
