FAQ

Why can't ChatALL be deployed as a website?

Eventually, it will be a website, but it's not feasible right now because:

  1. The reason why you can use your own accounts, like ChatGPT, Bing Chat, etc., in ChatALL, is because it's a client application that can bypass browser's cross-origin restrictions. If it were a website, it wouldn't be able to send and receive data from those LLMs.
  2. Of course, if the website called the LLMs through their official APIs, it would work. But that would incur a significant cost in token fees. ChatALL is just a free and open-source project and can't afford that cost, nor does it want to pass it on to its users.
  3. In the future, we will implement website functionality. Work on this will begin after the release of 2.0. Please stay tuned.
