What is this?Ptero is a free, open-source AI chat platform that gives instant access to multiple language models (DeepSeek V4, Llama 3.3, Qwen, MiniMax, Mistral) through one clean interface, with no signup required.
Is this a hosted website or something I install?It is primarily a hosted web chat app you use directly in the browser, but it also ships as a WordPress plugin you can install on your own site and embed with the [mlpaichat] shortcode.
How do I start using it?Visit the live site, pick a display name (saved locally on your device), select an AI model from the dropdown, and start chatting immediately.
Do I need an account or API key to chat?No. Ptero requires no signup, no account, and no payment to use any of the supported models.
Are there any paid plans or usage limits?No, Ptero is run as a non-profit and every model is free to use; the project explicitly does not offer paid plans or subscriptions.
Where is my chat data stored?All conversations are stored locally in your browser, and no chat history is kept on Ptero's servers.
Which AI models can I switch between?DeepSeek V4, Llama 3.3, Qwen, MiniMax, Mistral and more are available, with one-click switching so you can compare outputs from different models.
Can I organize different conversations or add files for context?Yes, a project-based workspace lets you group chats by task or client, and a built-in media library lets you upload and manage files within conversations.
Can I embed Ptero inside my own WordPress site?Yes, download the plugin from the GitHub repository, activate it on your WordPress site, and drop the [mlpaichat] shortcode into any page or post.
