Integrating Privatemode AI with Tabby

With Privatemode and Tabby, you can run large AI models confidentially in the cloud – with the same interface used for your self-hosted LLMs.

Use cloud-based AI in Tabby without compromising data privacy

Many Tabby users value local control and zero‑leakage workflows but are limited by the capabilities of self-hosted LLMs. Privatemode removes the trade‑off between capability and confidentiality by providing an OpenAI‑compatible, attested service that never exposes your data to cloud or service providers.

You get state‑of‑the‑art models with full control over your data, while Tabby's elegant interface makes Privatemode easier to use than ever. Download Tabby for Mac.
