DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Uncensored
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash with the refusals taken out of the weights, in LU Cloud on desktop, web and phone. What its makers measured, what we measured, the price, and the second new model, Abliterated Large Flash.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash Uncensored Step by Step
From sign in to a first agent run: the Cloud switch, the Uncensored group, Think and effort, Agent mode, the Code tab, the browser and the phone, with the price per token.
Kimi K3.1 Pro
Moonshot's successor to Kimi K3 is fourth on the Artificial Analysis index and best on Terminal-Bench 4.0. What it does, what it costs in LU Cloud, and the hardware math for when the weights land.
Kimi K3.1 Pro Step by Step
From sign in to a first agent run: the Cloud switch, Think and effort, Agent mode, the Code tab, the browser, the phone and the API, with the credit price per token.
Local AI Reverse Engineering
REA analyzes apps on your machine, but a cloud agent still sends its findings to a cloud model. With a local model in LU, the whole loop stays on your computer, and an uncensored 27B build will not stop at the word decompile.
REA Step by Step
From zero to a first answer: Node.js, a 27B model at 64K context, the REA switch under Plugins, a question to the agent, approving the tool calls and checking what it found.
Branch and Duplicate AI Chats
Copy a chat, branch it at any message and keep every answer you regenerated. Then give each persona its own sampling, import character cards and bring your ChatGPT history over.
Create on a Mac
What Create runs on a Mac without ComfyUI in 3.0.7, from character training and Talking Character to Motion Control, ten image edits and Music. With measured times on one M5 Pro and what has not run yet.
Import a ComfyUI Workflow
Import ComfyUI workflows as ComfyUI saves them, one file or a whole folder, install the node packs they need and change every setting from Create. Windows and Linux, with the parts that have only run in tests named.
Several Local LLM Backends
KoboldCpp, LM Studio and the LU Engine no longer push each other out: each OpenAI-compatible server gets its own row and models in 3.0.7. With an example setup, context and effort per server, and what has only run in tests.
Train a Character LoRA on a Mac
Train a character LoRA on your Mac, step by step, with the messages the app shows on the way. Then put the character into pictures, video, Talking Character and Motion Control, with what has really run on a Mac.
Consistent Characters with Local AI
Train a character once on your own PC, on a Mac or on LU Cloud, then use it for pictures, video and in the chat. What works in 3.0.7, including Low VRAM and changing clothes, and what is still untested.
Is Local Voice AI Private?
Your audio goes to a voice engine on your own computer and nowhere else. This post goes through what else a voice session in LU touches: the download, the chat model, the tools and what is stored.
Run Vision Models Locally
A local vision model in llama.cpp needs a second file, the image part, to see pictures. Since 3.0.6 LU downloads both together and tells you when a model loads without it.
Generate Images in Chat
Ask for a picture in the chat: on LU Cloud the chat model puts together an order card, and nothing runs until you approve it. Locally, Agent mode renders through your own Create lanes.
v3.0.7: Your Characters Everywhere, ComfyUI Workflows as Saved, and Training on the Mac
A trained character in every part of Create and in chat. ComfyUI workflows import as ComfyUI saves them, with their node packs and every setting. Edit takes up to ten images, and a chat can be duplicated or branched. On a Mac, training, Talking Character and Motion Control. With the list of what we have not tested.
REA Plugin
One switch under Plugins gives Agent and Code the tools of REA, Reverse Engineer Anything. How it starts, what it reads, which model to pick, and what has been tried so far.
Voice Plus Computer Control: A Note in Notepad
One task we measured from the first word to the spoken result: a note typed into Notepad by voice with a local 9B model. Every step, including the one that still needs your click.
Local AI Computer Use: Let an Agent Control Your PC
How a local model can use your mouse and keyboard in Locally Uncensored 3.0.6, and every point where it asks you first. With the pause and stop shortcuts and what has not been tested yet.
DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017: What Changed, and What It Means in LU Cloud
DeepSeek's October refresh replaced V4.1 Flash in LU Cloud on 18 October. Old picks and API calls move over on their own, the credit price is lower, and DeepSeek's own table says it is better on long agent tasks.
New Uncensored Chat Models in LU Cloud
Since 3.0.6 the Cloud model picker opens with ten chat models marked Uncensored (Beta), among them GLM 4.7 Flash Heretic and Gemma 4 Uncensored. What the group means, what Limited capacity means, and when the same model also runs locally.
v3.0.6: Talk to Your Model, Let It Use the Screen, and a Mac Build
Voice, computer control, Create in chat and ten more cloud chat models, all in beta. Image input for local models in one download, and the first build for Macs with Apple Silicon. With the list of what we have not tested.
Talk to a Local LLM: Voice Chat on Your Own Machine
Install the voice engine once, pick one of fifteen voices and talk to the chat model you already use. What the four switches do, how tools work by voice, and the limits of the beta. English only for now.
v3.0.2: The Code Tab Scrolls Again
A hotfix for our own regression: the Code tab lost its scrollbar and its input box in a long conversation, and it is held to the window height again. Plus one corrected count of the open cloud models.
How to Run Qwen-Image 2.1 Locally: One Model That Draws and Edits
Three files and 16.1 GB, ComfyUI 0.37.0 or newer, a prompt in the Image lane and a reference image with no mask in the Edit lane. Plus the research licence that rules out commercial work.
Qwen-Image 2.1 Explained: 7B, Alpha Channel, Ten References, and a New License
Smaller than the 20B it succeeds, one model where there used to be two, a VAE that carries transparency, and the first entry in the series that is not Apache 2.0.
v3.0.1: One Local Model That Draws and Edits, and a Calmer Linux
Qwen-Image 2.1 generates and edits on your own card, LoRAs get their own tab in Models, a GPU with no free memory reading is planned carefully, and the Linux AppImage stops handing its runtime to every program LU starts.
