Official Gnoppix Quickstart for AI
Question 1: As a Gnoppix Member, can I access the PlayGround and API?
Section titled “Question 1: As a Gnoppix Member, can I access the PlayGround and API?”Yes. Gnoppix Members can access our free Large Language Models (LLMs) through the Gnoppix local playground. You can use it with the gnoppix web browser and or access the models via our API endpoint.
Gnoppix Linux is built on open-source principles. We have integrated applications to run on local AI (on your own machine), Gnoppix AI (our hosted service), or any other third-party provider. For maximum privacy, we always recommend using local AI.
-
I’m a member and have access: Great! You can start using the Gnoppix AI portal, the upcoming mobile app, or integrate the API into your own applications using our endpoint documentation.
-
I’m a member but can’t get access: If you are a member but cannot access the Gnoppix AI portal or API, please request access through our service desk. Use the same email address that is associated with your Gnoppix Membership.
-Service Desk: https://gnoppix.atlassian.net/servicedesk/customer/portal/1
- I’m not a member: Non-members do not have free access to Gnoppix AI. To use the service, you will need to run Gnoppix Local AI
Question 2: I have a installed version of Gnoppix. Does this include access to Gnoppix-hosted LLMs?
Section titled “Question 2: I have a installed version of Gnoppix. Does this include access to Gnoppix-hosted LLMs?”No. Access to our hosted LLMs is a separate service. Not related to Gnoppix Linux. Andreas (our Project Lead) builds professional Special Large Language Models and provide us the infrastructur free to use. It is designed for users who may not have a powerful GPU or who prefer not to use closed-source LLMs (like those from OpenAI) due to privacy concerns. It is not intended to allow to run your agent army 24/7. Gnoppix Linux itself is built to run AI models on your local computer, using your own resources.
However, a Gnoppix Membership does grant you access to our free-tier AI and API. If you want test AI but you do not have the hardware for it.

Question 3: I don’t want to become a member. Can I still access Gnoppix AI?
Section titled “Question 3: I don’t want to become a member. Can I still access Gnoppix AI?”Yes install Gnoppix Linux on your disk. Install the AI Meta package and run it local on your computer. Super easy. Check out Gnoppix Local Studio.
Question 4: I like the PlayGround interface. Can I use it with my own API keys from other providers?
Section titled “Question 4: I like the PlayGround interface. Can I use it with my own API keys from other providers?”Yes, absolutely. Once you have access to the Gnoppix AI portal, you can add and use your own API keys from other providers. This functionality will also be available in the upcoming mobile app.
Question 5: I only use AI occasionally. Do my credits expire?
Section titled “Question 5: I only use AI occasionally. Do my credits expire?”Our platform is ideal for infrequent users because local AI is always for free, there are no credits which can expire.
Question 6: I have tokens and API keys. What’s next?
Section titled “Question 6: I have tokens and API keys. What’s next?”You can use your own api keys with any of your applications that support API integration. If you don’t have a local chatbot interface, you can use our Gnoppix AI portal at https://ai.gnoppix.org.
You can add API keys from other AI subscriptions you may have to use them all within the Gnoppix AI interface.
Once you have an account, you can use the interface forever, even if you only use your own API keys.
Please remember the one-year inactivity policy mentioned above.
Question 7: Are Gnoppix API costs competitive with other providers?
Section titled “Question 7: Are Gnoppix API costs competitive with other providers?”Yes, they are. Our goal is to make AI accessible, affordable, and trustworthy for everyone. Who can beat 0 costs?
Philosophy: Our primary mission isn’t to generate profit from the API itself. We prioritize your privacy with transparent data handling and provide the convenience of a single account for multiple models.
Usage Tracking: Our user interface provides a clear overview of your token and model usage.
Partnerships: We are always open to collaborations, especially regarding infrastructure. Please contact us if you are interested.
Question 8: How do you handle my privacy?
Section titled “Question 8: How do you handle my privacy?”Gnoppix does not share your personal data. They will not know who you are based on the requests we send. For more details, please review our Privacy Policy:
- Pivacy Policy: https://wiki.gnoppix.org/policy/privacy_policy/
Question 9: What happens to my prompts?
Section titled “Question 9: What happens to my prompts?”By default, we do not use prompts for training our models. This may differ for the “free” models not offered by us.
While we take these contractual steps, we cannot ultimately guarantee what happens to your prompts on a third-party service. If your work is sensitive, we strongly recommend using the local AI models included with Gnoppix Linux. When using local AI, no data is ever sent over the network, and it can even be used without an internet connection.
