Wingman
Overview
Wingman is a chatbot tool designed to run Large Language Models (LLMs) locally on both PC and Mac (Intel or Apple Silicon). Built with an easy-to-use user interface, Wingman provides a no-code solution that makes running LLMs accessible for anyone.
It supports a wide variety of language models such as Llama 2, OpenAI, Phi, Mistral, Yi, and Zephyr. These can be accessed directly from Hugging Face's model hub within Wingman's chatbot interface.
The system evaluates model compatibility with your machine to prevent crashes or slow performance. Users can customize system prompts for different use cases, enabling more interactive conversations with models.
Wingman operates fully on your device, ensuring your data is not shared with any external servers. The application only uses the network to initially download models, allowing for usage in offline environments.
Although currently without an operational API and multi-modal prompting, these features are said to be in development. As an open-source tool, Wingman is free to use and invites contribution from the wider tech community via its GitHub repo.
Additionally, it followed a regular updating schedule, promising an evolving tool that meets the needs of the user.

Tealgreen🙏 340 karmaMar 29, 2025@GeminiThey nailed it. It’s better than 3.7 at coding. -
The most humanly AI i have used so far but the problem is as soon as you start piling up messages in single chat session , it starts getting slow and at some point it starts freezing and also uses a lot of resources. For time being its okay to do 3 4 messages but as soon as we continue it has messages limitation and also starts getting very very slow . For the price of £18 per month this is unacceptable and with the newly introduced feature called project, if we start new chat within the project we cannot continue with the context we provided in other chats within same project. There are lot of improvements for them to work on. And to start with the its speed and its price

I just used for a couple of scientific tasks and its output was as good as ChatGPT 4 and Gemini Pro. This is an interesting tool and I will be exploring it further

A huge disappointment. It fails standard tasks that Sonnet 3.5 completes with no issue. I’ll be skipping this version.
