Frodo

By leveraging WebGPU a modern web standard that enables GPU-accelerated computation directly in the browser Frodo can run capable AI language models on the user's own hardware, delivering genuine AI conversation capabilities with complete privacy.

The application is accessible at frodo-chi.vercel.app and works in WebGPU-compatible browsers including Chrome, Edge, and Arc.

The privacy architecture of Frodo is its defining characteristic. Because all inference happens locally on the user's GPU without any network calls to cloud AI providers, every conversation stays entirely on the user's device.

There are no logs, no conversation history stored externally, and no possibility of conversation data being used for model training or exposed to third parties.

For users who need AI assistance with sensitive personal, professional, or confidential information but are uncomfortable with the data practices of cloud-based AI services, Frodo represents a technically sound privacy-first alternative.

Running AI models through WebGPU in the browser represents a significant advance in accessible local AI.

Traditional local AI deployment typically required users to install software, manage model files, configure GPU drivers, and navigate command-line tools a process that presents a substantial technical barrier for non-developer users.
