A privacy-first company just made a bold move into local AI. The Backstory If you're into privacy, you probably know Ente. They built an open-source, end-to-end encrypted alternative to Google Photos. Then they launched Ente Auth - a 2FA app that's been gaining traction as an Authy replacement. Yesterday, they launched Ensu - a local LLM app that runs entirely on your device. Why This Matters Here's the thing about most AI apps: your data goes to someone's server. Every prompt. Every document you upload. Every question you ask. Local LLMs change that equation.
