Useful for comparing model responses side by side.

Love the idea. I frequently use ChatGPT (out of habit) and while it's generating, copy/paste the same prompt into claude and grok. This seems like a good way to save time.
nomilk on HNvery well designed! how does this work? in the sense that i didn't have to copy/paste any keys and yet this is offering paid models for free.

Objections
Mac-only desktop app; not available on Windows or Linux yet.
From 2 comments
If it's using Tauri, why is it Mac only?
LorenDB on HNOnly because I haven't tested it on Windows/Linux yet (started working on this last week!). But theoretically should be easy to package for other OS's

Not on the App Store, so users are wary of installing it.
From 2 comments
I would be much more likely to install this if it was published in the app store.
solomatov on HNMy main concern is security and privacy. App store apps are sandboxed but manually installed apps usually are not.

Does not run on Intel Macs.

Is it supposed to support Intel-based chips in the future? It cannot run on my Mac

Hi! One of the creators of Chorus here. Really cool to hear how everyone is using it. We made this as an experiment because it felt silly to constantly be switching between the…
Charlieholtz on HNJust added support for Ollama and LM Studio servers! I'm getting 66 tokens/sec and 0.17s time to first token for Llama 3.1, it's pretty mind-blowing.…

Swipeable responses instead of side by side.

Airtrain.ai and msty.app have had this for a while. What isn't there and would be useful is to not have them side by side but rather swipable. When you're using for code…

Autocomplete and Cmd-Enter to submit.
From 2 comments
Curious to check it out but a quick question — does it have autocomplete (GitHub copilot-style) in the chat window. IMO one of the biggest missing feature in most chat apps is…
d4rkp4ttern on HNSorry I meant hitting enter should NOT submit the chat. It should continue taking my input. And when I’m ready to submit I’d like to hit cmd-enter

Questions
How is compute paid for and are there rate limits?
From 3 comments
Just tried this with an interpersonal situation I'm going through. The default seems to be Claude 3.5 Sonnet and ChatGPT-4o. I got the results I've come to expect from those two,…

OpenWebUI
From 1 comment
I don't know LM Studio but I really like OpenWebUI. Maybe worth a try. I use it mainly because my LLM runs on a server, not my usual desktop.

lmarena.ai is also pretty good. It's not mac exclusive, works from the browser and has a bunch of different AIs to choose from. It doesn't keep a history when you close the tab…
