New Mozilla AI project. Put "trust" and "privacy" in the title and subtile but doesn't support locally hosted model.

Exists as an add-on today. Model is Mistral 7B hosted by Mozilla in GCP. Claims won't save data long term. Promises won't use personal information to train models and not share queries with Mistral or any other services.

Am I going to use it? No. Not without local model supported.

Note: the mobile version of the page is broken (lack of many content). Best to view the desktop version for complete details.

I genuinely don't know what people expect from Mozilla.

People simultaneously want them to give up their search engine payments, but also get angry at them for trying to make revenue any other way.

Web engine development costs hundreds of millions per year. It's a phenomenally complex and expensive endeavour, with no obvious path to revenue unless you hoover up user data, which Mozilla doesn't want to do.
