Anaconda Inc. has launched AI Navigator, a new desktop application that allows users to run a collection of Large Language Models (LLMs) for AI applications on their laptop or personal computer without sending any data to cloud servers.
The new LLMs aim to address challenges of AI security to offer a more secure and efficient way for businesses to explore the potential of AI.
Users can download over 200 LLMs that are pre-trained, curated and tailored for various different tasks and device capabilities, with over 50 unique LLMs developed for the app, spread across four quantization levels to support users with different hardware configurations.
The models are run locally and in a secure environment that’s created on the user’s PC, ensuring that any sensitive data accessed will always remain on the computer, making it ideal for data privacy and compliance.
AI Navigator includes a simplified user interface that makes it easy to experiment with AI, and offers flexible deployment options.
Anaconda, best known as a data science platform, aims to build an operating system for AI with the tools and infrastructure needed to make the technology more accessible and manageable in every industry.
The company already has over 10,000 users ahead of the launch of the app in general availability today.
In a future update, Anaconda will enable AI Navigator users to create their own AI agents and make them available for anyone else to download and use locally on their PC or laptop.
The company believes AI Navigator can also be the foundation for agentic AI that can carry out various tasks on behalf of their users.
AI Navigator is a significant step as Anaconda aims to make AI development more accessible, scalable and secure for all.
