Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4286

I saw a video in which the developer set up Ollama on a Windows machine and connected to it via AnythingLLM from a MacBook Pro (I think that it was) and I am wondering if AnythingLLM has been, or could be, compiled to WASM (Web Assembly) possibly with the vector database being external to keep the footprint small as possible and then to be able to run in a browser and connect to the vector database and Ollama backend servers?

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day

If it is possible, we for sure don't support it or offer that kind of functionality supported by the core team. There does exist a reality where in theory with the Browsers IndexDB + vector db in WASM + compiled Anythingllm Frontend to a single JS file you could run AnythinLLM totally isolate in browser.

Why you would do this, I have no idea!
