LG’s proprietary chatbot Gram Chat On-Device, which uses a derivative form of the large EXAONE language model, will be able to process user requests in the absence of a connection to an external network. For example, the Time Travel function will allow you to quickly find documents that the user recently worked with on the laptop. When connected to the global network, it will be possible to use Gram Chat Cloud, a chat bot based on OpenAI’s GPT-4o, which will simultaneously have access to a calendar and email client. During the first year of operation, access to this function will be free for the user, after which you will need to pay money.
