Thanks @frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml for filling OP in! I want to add a few things incase OP is unaware of more than just what you explained:
LLM = large language model, one of the types of AI. Examples: ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Meta’s LLaMA
Open-Source: the program code of the AI is available to look at, in its entirety
If you are not sure if you understand these terms and what frightful_hobgoblin said, then just assume whatever AI you are using is going to share your chat with the company behind it.
open source is also very tricky with LLMs: i’d argue if you can’t recreate it from scratch, it’s not open source… deep seek does not contain all the data necessary to recreate it from scratch: it’s open weights (the model itself can be downloaded and run) but not open source… i’d classify it as free (as in beer) software; not open source
‘locally-running’ means it is on your computer, will work without an internet connection
anything you access using the internet is not ‘locally-running’
The comment means don’t send information over the internet that you don’t want to share.

Excellent addition, I agree!
That’s the criteria of many FOSS catalogue repositories: they won’t add any software that is not completely reproducible.
