I received yet another empty AI template after I posted. And you are correct. Definitely don’t keep all your eggs in one basket and I’m thankful I had exported all of my chats prior to upgrading. I’m self-hosting my own LLM, but using the commercial models until mine are a little more advanced.

I guess I’ll go blossom elsewhere.
