Free AI chats from the labs
Most labs that release open models also run a free chat website. On every model page we link the official chat when there is one. Next to each lab, its best free chat model on Arena.

Free AI on your phone and your PC
Small open models can also run on your own phone or computer, for free and fully private.
Free AI on your phone
Small open models that run offline on a phone, how much memory they need and which free apps run them.
Free AI on your PC
Pick your graphics card and see which top-voted open models fit, how the memory splits and how fast they write. See also how much GPU memory you need.
What “free” usually costs you
Free tiers exist to bring developers in. Some providers may use free-tier prompts to improve their models, so read the terms before sending anything private. Running a model at home is the only option where nothing leaves your computer.
