PyGPT - Desktop AI Assistant

PyGPT is an all-in-one Desktop AI Assistant that provides direct interaction with OpenAI language models, including GPT-5, GPT-4, o1, o3, and more, through the OpenAI API. The application also supports alternative LLMs, like those available on HuggingFace, locally available models via Ollama (like gpt-oss, Llama 3, Mistral, DeepSeek V3/R1 or Bielik), and other models like Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, Perplexity / Sonar, and xAI Grok.
