GTP4All is an ecosystem to train and deploy powerful and customized large language models that run locally on consumer-grade CPUs. In this article, we will build an end-to-end local chatbot that can chat with your documents and give you answers without the need for GPUs or paid APIs. 

In this part, we will explain what is GPT4ALL and how it works, and then we will go through setting up the working environment and download the important packages and models. We will conclude it with a basic interaction with the GPT4ALL model.
