Author here, was a bit surprised to see this here. I thought there needed to be a good zero-JS LLM site for computer people, and we thought it would be fun to add various other protocols. The short domain hack of "ch.at" was exciting because it felt like the natural domain for such a service. It has not been expensive to operate so far. If it ever changes we can think about rate limiting it. We used GPT4o because it…

It seems like the only internet protocols they didn't implement were the ones designed for chat. How could they forget about IRC, XMPP and SIP?

No SOAP, CORBA, WAP or RS232 interfaces either.

Lousy infidels snubbed the almighty telnet as well.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I wonder if a 1B model could be close to free to host. That's an eventuality, but I wonder how long it'll take for that to be real.

I’m planning to deploy a 1B model, feed it all the documents I’ve ever written, host it on a $149 mini-PC in my bedroom, and enable you to chat with it. I’ve released similar projects before. I’ll drop a post about my plans in the coming days and I’ll build and document it about two weeks later if there’s enough interest. joeldare.com

The post about my plan is now online:
