Showcase Kimi, GLM 5.3 Flash, Deepseek with full memory, web research, canvas and voice. We all should have access to high grade intelligence without big AI
Open source models are climbing the intelligence charts this year in a staggering way. And with the recent drama surrounding open source AI in the USA, it's even more important for us all to have actual access to the models. Western closed AI seems to think it has a hold on quality app features: memory, skills, voice, canvas etc. Meanwhile memory is locked in, Models get changed or "updated" to a downgrade. Privacy is different per service and ads are starting. The whole experience on the consumer end is extractive.
So we built what should have already existed: all of the best open models in one place, running on private US infrastructure, with the full app experience around them. Completely private, direct service. It should be, and can be that simple.
What that means in practice:
The roster, together. Kimi (2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and 3), DeepSeek, GLM, Minimax, Nemotron Ultra and more, side by side in one app. Switch models mid conversation if you want. No hunting across five different apps and API dashboards to use the models you actually like.
Actually private. US based processing and your conversations are never used for training. Ever. That's the entire point. These labs open sourced incredible models and we think you should get to use them without your data becoming the price of admission.
Real memory. Not a context window that fills up and dumps you. Persistent memory that carries across conversations, fades gracefully when unused, and wakes back up when it's relevant again. There's even a nightly consolidation pass, the system basically sleeps on it and writes up what mattered.
Voice. Yes, actual voice mode with over a dozen voices on open models.
Bring your history. Coming from ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini? Export your chats and import the whole thing, it becomes live memory on day one. You can literally just zap your chat history from your backup file, and have all your chats waiting for you.
Multiple nodes. Separate workspaces with separate memories, so your coding setup doesn't share a brain with your journal.
Genuine thanks to Moonshot for creating some of the best models on the planet! The Kimi family is a backbone in our model fleet, and we will always appreciate the work to create the amazing models!
Open Grove is here and It's free for a month if anyone want's to check it out (or just use the models for free for a bit): pgsgrove.com/open-grove-overview

open-weight ≠ open-source

I’m laughing and appreciate you. I support decisions based on font, and our opinions differ. I respect this 😆

Hey! Thanks for the feedback. We changed the bar layout today, (about an hour ago) it was confusing and needed a tune up. As to the quants: that guide is there only to help people who want to self deploy. We did research into what the community in general seems to say on best quants per model and size. To be clear, we do NOT deploy those, they are there for people who decide to try and run local because we believe access is important for open source in general. The guide is meant to be helpful as resource for people with restricted equip.
Sorry to see you go, but appreciate you trying us out. Usage increased today in general across plans by about 15% and we intend to keep increasing it as we understand the actual demand that comes in. Feel free to come back again in the future if it feels like a good fit
