Good product +2

Pros

  • Zero-data-retention policy backed by hardware-isolated enclaves (TEE) and client-side encryption.
  • Unrestricted generation on open-source models, including unfiltered roleplay, sensitive topics, and NSFW art.
  • Broad multimodal catalog covering text, graphics, video, voice synthesis, and audio in a single interface.
  • OpenAI-compatible REST API, official MCP server support, and seamless integration with editors like Cursor.

Cons

  • Chat logs exist solely in your local browser storage by default; clearing site data wipes all past sessions forever.
  • Closed third-party models routed through the anonymizer still enforce their proprietary safety filters.
  • Video generation, voice cloning, and frontier reasoning models burn through credits rather than running unmetered.
  • Extended conversational threads and multi-turn roleplay can suffer from contextual drift.
