Bees AI clarifies local model network traffic, assures data privacy

The Bees AI application, designed to run local language models, has detailed its network communications to assure users that prompts and data remain on their local machines. While the core model execution is isolated, the application does send out four types of data by default: configuration checks to app.bees.bot, update notifications from GitHub, free model list requests to FreeLLMAPI, and initial memory setup which includes downloading Python packages and an embedding model from Hugging Face. Additional network requests are made when users or agents explicitly use tools like web search or download new models. AI
