No KeePass support, then?

On a related note it’s amazing just how much better the UX of 1Password is, compared to KeePass X, etc. I used to not want to use 1Password or any other hosted password manager like that. But I had to start using it for work since a couple of years ago and they also gave me a free personal account for it and when I experienced how much better it was than everything else, I started using it and haven’t looked back sin…

I use KeePassium Pro, which is a _fully native app_, instead of the hideous mess 1Password has turned into.

No, unfortunately it's not possible to set a custom URL... OpenAI is either hard coded or using a configuration option that isn't exposed.

It is exposed from Advanced tab under "URL for AI API". You do have to change the model name from the preselected and offered OpenAI GPT model names. Otherwise this AI API URL isn't used. Haven't yet tested with local OAI compatible model yet, though, but did manage to break it using bad address :)

How do you change the model name from the preselected and offered OpenAI GPT model names? I don't see the option to do so.

It's a shame their "OpenAI" integration doesn't let you specify the Base URL and model. Then it could have worked locally with ollama (or with any other OpenAI compatible API if that matters: mistral, groq, ...) It's a bit of a shame to see an open source product makes an "OpenAI" only integration when they could have make it work with minimal effort with the free and open alternatives (ignorance maybe). Hopefully I…

It literally does exactly that, what made you think it doesn't? Or did you just assume and type a comment based on nothing?

I actually searched advanced options for "openai" but nothing there, honestly it should be a primary options.

Anyway, it doesn't work with ollama's openai compatibility API.

I'm really disappointed that iTerm2 is adding AI gimmicks :/ Last place I want that crap integrated is in the terminal. Next disappointment is that there's no obvious checkbox for disabling it.

My question is, why doesn't iTerm2 support ollama? It would allow me to run locally, without an internet connection, and keep my data on my computer.

The comments in this thread are depressing, I expected much better from HN. The AI features are but 1 minor aspect of this release, they are optional, you can change the URL to point to a local LLM, yet people are pretending like all your data is going to be sent to OpenAI if you update. I’m not sure if people are being intentionally daft or are just not reading anything past the word “AI” (which, again, isn’t even l…

Depends on the vantage point. Have you worked in any regulated industries? I can see iTerm joining internal software ban lists because of its AI integration (even if it's off by default). Security departments of these corps are constantly pleading with their staff to "please stop sharing corp data with LLMs, you're not allowed to do that", all the while staff feel under pressure to deliver faster, and reaching for wh…

If someone wants to use ChatGPT with their terminal it is not really much of a roadblock to use the LLM's web interface and copy/paste between that and the terminal.

I'd expect then that if the security department is worried about people obeying a "don't use unauthorized LLMs" policy to be blocking access at the network level.

What are the security implication of this? Can you really trust an external entity arbitrarily sending commands as responses. The attack surface is huge and I expect we'll see AI integration as shocking as telnet support at some point in the future.

The commands are not executed automatically.

I can see the perception/concern being different than the technical reality. I just did the update myself and briefly saw something about "AI Term" or other and finished the update. Afterward I was wondering how to get details on what that meant--searching "AI" in iTerm2 Help menu shows no results. If I hadn't read this post/comments already I would be concerned as should anyone who installed without detailed understanding.

Given that OpenAI is not free why would you assume that anything would be sent? If you distrust iTerm 2 over this then why would you assume a checkbox would make a difference?

> Given that OpenAI is not free why would you assume that anything would be sent? AFAIK using OpenAI through the webpage doesn't cost money, why should I assume that using it through the REST API is any different?

There is a difference between the 2 OpenAI products.

One side allows access via prompts for a fixed monthly fee.

The other allows access via an API that you must purchase credits in advance for.

If you don’t have an API key then there’s nothing for it to do because it won’t even begin to connect.

Again I’m not understanding why you feel a Checkbox is fundamentally better here…

We trusted google at one point with a lot of our info, then they started to screw us.

Are people overreacting for something not enabled by default? Quite possibly, but literally today open ai is getting in trouble for almost certainly using Scarlett Johansson's voice, even after she specifically told them "no". They're already giving all the indications they don't care about consequences to abuse.

And the URL for the AI API shouldn't be buried in the advanced settings.
