Rudderstack claims to be a GA alternative [1] and accepts server-side data allowing this to be a 1st party integration skipping the consent complexity. Any thoughts on this one? It also made it to the Thoughtworks Tech Radar [2]. [1] https

What's amazing to see is the effort to attempt to run the models on consumer-grade hardware, going as far as running 4-bit quantized models on phones or raspberry pi. All the debacle about mmap optimizations to llama.cpp [1] and the st

I wonder why the chat history isn't persisted in the browser storage and synced just for analytics. Having R/W access via API isn't privacy friendly as we can see. Plus, it's also expensive to scale.
