Why do you need native ChatGPT Frontend specifically?

There are apps that provide similar Frontend and use api keys from ChatGPT and Gemini and others to provide all models under one web interface.


Few reasons: keep access to the frontend features of each providers, have access to my chats I have in the individual frontend apps, to not have to trust a 3rd party provider, to not have to update the app each time a new model comes out

Check out open web UI, it’s self hostable web app that can connect to different providers and models.

Open Web UI already provides this as a self hosted web solution.

One good feature I like is ability to generate multiple responses from different models and merge it using one default model.


Very nice! Do you still get access to the frontend of the original LLM providers and do you have to insert API keys ?

You get access to similar UI like ChatGPT and you connect the models you want to use by providing API key.

Once configured you can choose between models of all providers you have connected in dropdown in chat.

This is a popular and an old platform to make network graphs


This is a known thing since quite some time and the only solution is to use separate domain. This problem has existed for so long that at this point we as users adapt to it rather than still expecting Google to fix this.

From their perspective, a few false positives over the total number of actual malicious websites blocked is fractional.


It’s more of a building the solution first and then look for the problem because why the heck not.


When every problem seems like a nail then every solution you come up with is a hammer.

This is what it feels like people using AI for everything.

AI is not good at telling you best solution but it will tell you that you can build it yourself since that approach is what AI is good at.

Using self hosted vpn, cloudflare zero trust or Tailscale is the easiest way to go.

I self host extensively and have multiple self hosted VPN(OpenVPN and WireGuard) along with Tailscale and cloudflare protecting my infra.


Tailscale is not as easy as this. It has to be installed on every device or at the router level.

And it will not work on mobile if you already use another VPN.


If you're getting people to rely on external dependency services, e.g. Cloudflare or Tailscale, then you're a part of the problem, not the solution!


Flock is funded and supported by YC.

Not sure how YC sees this.


why do you think YC have any more morals than Ring? or Palantir?


If it brings in ARR it makes an exit more likely and that makes them happy.

They're investors, not bosses

Being an investor is not an excuse. It makes you amoral, too.

"I didn't build the bomb, I just funded the company that built it."


That's the beauty of capitalism, its very foundation allows you to act immorally or amorally, and pretend that it's ok because of "the market", "invisible hands", "revealed preferences", etc. If it's immoral but done in pursuit of maximizing shareholder value, it's magically allowed.


> done in pursuit of maximizing shareholder value, it's magically allowed.

Not even allowed, sometimes legally required ("fiduciary duty").


This is YC.

In case you haven't noticed, the surveillance state is 100% YC adjacent.


I ported my worker project into Django since cloudflare workers wouldn’t allow selection of region for hosting workers which is generally required due to data compliances. This is something all cloud providers provide from day one yet cloudflare made it an enterprise feature.

Also the vendor lock-in doesn’t help with durable objects and D2 instead of simply doing what supabase and others are doing by providing Postgres or standard SQLite as a service.


You forgot Nanonets and it even has its own open source model on huggingface.


Here is link to open source model: https://huggingface.co/nanonets/Nanonets-OCR-s
