What Huntaegis is built on

AI models

These write the analysis, the comments and the narration scripts, and translate on request. The cloud rule: a larger cloud model, run by a third party (Ollama), is used only to analyse published RSS/Atom news stories, and never for a publisher that asks AI crawlers to stay out. Anything a reader wrote or that identifies a reader, and every non-public story, stays on our own hardware.

• Gemma 4 (small local variants)

  Apache-2.0

  Google DeepMind

  Analysis, comments, translation, quizzes, replies and narration scripts, run on our own hardware via Ollama. Everything a reader wrote is processed here and nowhere else.

  Licence as shipped with the local model files.

• Gemma 4 31B (cloud)

  Apache-2.0 (the open Gemma 4 family)

  Google DeepMind, served by Ollama

  Deeper analysis when our weekly cloud allowance is available.

  Runs on Ollama's servers, not ours. Used only to analyse published RSS/Atom news stories (never reader-written text, never a publisher that blocks AI crawlers); when it is used, that story's text is sent there.
