GPT4All Integration

[DirkNetter]

Firstly thank you for this great tool!

Is there a possibility to integrate GPT4All into Qualcoder? I can not send over my research data to any online model, but would be curious if i can use local models to play around with qualitative data analysis.

Thank you

Hi, QualCoder has been tested with Ollama and local models: https://qualcoder-org.github.io/doc/en/2.3.-AI-Setup/#local-models-using-ollama
But GPT4All seems to provide a local API server as well: https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all/wiki/Local-API-Server. You should be able to integrate this into QualCoder in a very similar way as with Ollama.

GPT4All is a dead project. No updates and commits since early 2025. No security updates. It's one of those projects that used the community as betatesters and then went closed source. I have contributed there when Nomic devs were still active, but they went quiet without a warning and explanation. At this point in time I would recommend llama.cpp directly, if you want to have latest models, better performance and commandline configurability. Just start a "llama-server". There are a lot of other apps built around llama.cpp, such as Jan, Koboldcpp or the already mentioned Ollama. You can find them in the current readme under "UIs": https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp?tab=readme-ov-file#description
