Private inference

In Private mode, answers are generated by models installed on your computer. You do not need NELA Cloud for everyday chat, library Q&A, or File Indexer search.

What that means for you

• Prompts for Private turns stay on this device for generation.
• You pick Fast / Smart / Deep from models you installed.
• Optional Cloud is separate — see Private vs Cloud.

When something fails

NELA can try another installed model that fits the task. If nothing is installed for that mode, open Settings and download one.
