Babel is a desktop app: chat, code, images and video in its own window, models that run on this computer with no network, and, if you choose, sharing an idle GPU with the network.
It can also answer on this computer for other programs, in the OpenAI, Ollama and Anthropic styles, so tools that talk to a local model can use the network. See the API docs.
Latest version 0.4.2
Run the installer. It installs Babel into your account and needs no administrator rights. Signed by Beijing Whaty Technology Development Co., Ltd.; if SmartScreen still warns, choose More info, then Run anyway.
