AI TOOL DETAILS
Off Grid AI
Off Grid AI is for people who want private assistant conversations without sending prompts to a hosted chatbot. Its README describes an offline, on-device path with no account or API key; optional Pro features and the license and hardware needs of each model remain separate.

What does it cost?
A free plan is available, with paid upgrades or usage limits.
The source application supports local, offline use without a required subscription or API key. The README mentions an optional Pro offering but does not establish its current price. Model files, their individual licenses, storage and device compute are separate from the AGPL-3.0 app. Application license: AGPL-3.0. This does not grant the license for separately downloaded model weights; check a model's license and compatibility independently.

Model license and local hardware
Local inference can avoid a paid model API when this app is connected to a compatible local model. The app license does not license model weights. One example is Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Instruct-GGUF, whose separate weight license is Apache-2.0; compatibility and download requirements depend on the app’s supported runtime. Other models may have different terms. Model downloads, storage and local hardware are separate costs.
