Local models and privacy routing

Run Miosbot on a model on your own computer, and keep customer and secret data off cloud models.

Status: rolling out. Local models and privacy routing are built and switch on in an update after launch. Until then, Miosbot uses the cloud models you choose.

Use a model on your own computer

Point Miosbot at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, such as Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM or llama.cpp. Miosbot checks the endpoint in the background and lists its models in the model picker. A slow or missing endpoint never stops Miosbot from starting.

Privacy routing

With privacy routing on, Miosbot tags each request as public, customer or secret:

  • Customer and secret requests go to a model on your computer.
  • If no local model is available, Miosbot refuses with a plain reason. It never quietly falls back to a cloud model.
  • Results from tools that contain customer data are kept away from cloud models too.
  • When Miosbot isn’t sure, it treats the request as private.

Mix cloud and local

You can set a chain of models per task, mixing cloud and local. Miosbot moves to the next model in the chain only when a provider is down.
