    Damn. I liked Perplexity. Sucks to delete it, but this guy can fuck directly off.

      I’m going to have to try the selfhosted variants now. What a huge piece of shit.

          Perplexica is one example. I also seem to remember there is some way to integrate it with SearxNG which is a self hosted meta search engine.

          Ditto! I run an old server, but would be willing to upgrade and self host a service instead of paying this ass hat any more money!

            OpenWebUI says it’s designed to operate entirely offline - that’s not an alternative to Perplexity. I need online search functionality, that’s pretty much the only reason why I pay them. I have offline solutions set up on my pc.

              OWui has a search module which can be enabled. For me, running it entirely offline is more or less the draw. I think it also supports RAG search, although I don’t know how “good” it is… mostly I was just after a little magic box to play with.

              Now, if only enterprise glass GPU’s weren’t so power hungry and expensive…

          I just tried morphic.sh and ayesoul.com and both are solid alternatives I must say, although as I said, I just tried it so I’ll see how it goes, I’ll probably add an edit to this comment once I get acquainted with both.
