> [!IMPORTANT]
> GPT4All v2.5.0 and newer only supports models in GGUF format (.gguf). Models used with a previous version of GPT4All (.bin extension) will no longer work.
GPT4All is an ecosystem to run **powerful** and **customized** large language models that work locally on consumer grade CPUs and any GPU. Note that your CPU needs to support [AVX or AVX2 instructions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions).
