Hob

What is Hob?

Hob is a free, open-source desktop application that lets you run large language models directly on your personal computer. It supports open-weight models such as Gemma and gpt-oss, providing an alternative to cloud-based services like ChatGPT and Claude.

The software automatically detects your system specifications and selects the most suitable model to match your hardware capabilities. It handles all the setup required to run these models locally, including backend dependencies.

Because everything runs on your machine, your data stays private and the application functions fully offline. Users can interact with the interface to fill out PDFs, analyze documents, and perform other text-based tasks without relying on an internet connection.
