§Legal
Terms, privacy, and what Laghu does not claim.
Laghu runs on your computer, so most of what usually fills these pages doesn’t apply: there is no account and nothing you type comes to us. What’s left is set out here in plain words, with the licence that comes with the app, word for word.
Terms of use
Last updated 8 November 2026
Who provides Laghu
Laghu and this website are made by Aitele Research LLP (“we”, “us”), in India. By using this website, or by downloading, installing or using Laghu, you accept these terms. If you don’t accept them, please don’t use either.
Laghu is free
Laghu costs nothing. There is no account, no subscription and nothing to buy inside it, so there is nothing to refund.
The licence agreement
Installing Laghu means accepting its licence agreement, which is set out in full below and comes with every download. In short, you may install and use Laghu on computers you own or control, for your own purposes, personal or within your own organisation. You may not sell it, pass copies to others, change it, take it apart, or offer it to others as a hosted or paid service, unless we agree in writing. Where these terms and the licence agreement differ about the app, the licence agreement applies.
Models are made by others
Laghu comes with no AI models. Every model you download through Laghu, or bring from elsewhere, is made and licensed by someone else, not by us. Some of those licences allow any use; some forbid commercial use or certain kinds of use. Laghu’s library names each model’s licence before you download it, and following it is up to you.
What you make with it
What you type, and what a model writes back, stay on your computer. We claim nothing in them. How you use them is your responsibility, within the model’s licence and the law.
Agent mode
Agent mode is a beta feature. In it, a model can read and change files in the folder you choose and use the tools you allow. It asks before it acts, and you decide. You are responsible for what you approve, so keep a backup of anything you can’t afford to lose.
Updates
Laghu checks for a new version once a day and installs it quietly while it is idle. Every update is signed by us and checked before it installs. You can switch automatic updates off in Laghu’s settings.
What you may not do
- Use Laghu, or a model run through it, to break the law, or to harm, deceive or harass anyone.
- Present what a model writes as professional advice, medical, legal, financial or otherwise, to anyone.
- Pass off a changed copy of Laghu as ours, or remove our name or notices from it.
- Try to disrupt this website or its download and update service, or inflate its counts by automated means.
Provided as it is
Laghu and this website are provided “as is”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. We don’t warrant that either will be uninterrupted or free of error, or that anything a model produces will be accurate, complete or suitable for any purpose.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Aitele Research LLP is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or for any loss of data, profit or goodwill, arising from your use of Laghu, of this website, or of anything a model produces, however it is caused. Our total liability is no more than what you paid for Laghu. Nothing here limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited.
Changes
We may change Laghu, this website or these terms. The date above shows when these terms last changed. Using Laghu or this website after a change means you accept the revised terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at Patna, Bihar have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them, as in the licence agreement.
Privacy
Last updated 12 November 2026
Laghu runs on your computer and keeps your conversations there. We never receive what you type, what a model writes, your files or your models, and the app collects no analytics. It goes online only to download a model you chose, to search the web when you allow it, to open the websites a task needs when you switch on Computer, and to check for updates once a day, and that check carries nothing about you but Laghu’s version number. This website uses no cookies and no trackers, and keeps no network addresses.
On your computer
Your conversations, settings, the models you add and the files you attach are kept in Laghu’s own folder on your computer. None of it is sent to us, and we hold no copy: delete it there and it is gone.
When Laghu goes online
- Downloading a model. When you choose a model from the library, Laghu downloads it from Hugging Face, where model makers publish them. Hugging Face sees the download, as any website sees a visit, under its own privacy policy.
- Searching the web. Only when you allow it, Laghu sends your search to Google or DuckDuckGo and opens some of the pages it finds, to read them for you. Those sites see the search and the visits, under their own policies.
- Checking for updates. Once a day, Laghu asks our server whether there is a newer version. The request carries Laghu’s version number and nothing about you. Your network address reaches our server, as it must for any answer to come back, and is not recorded; update checks are not counted or logged. You can switch automatic updates off.
- Using websites for you. When you switch on Computer and give Laghu a task, it opens the websites that task needs, in a browser window of its own with its own profile, apart from the browser you normally use. Those sites see the visits, under their own policies. The pictures it takes of your screen go only to the model on your computer.
- Tools you add. Agent mode can use tool servers (MCP) that you add yourself. A server on your computer sends things wherever it is made to. A server on the web receives the requests the agent makes to it, with any token you gave it: GitHub’s, for example, at api.githubcopilot.com, if you add it from the list in Laghu.
Nothing else. Every model runs on your computer, Agent mode included, and finding the models you already have in Ollama happens there too.
This website
- No cookies, no trackers. Every font, image and script on this site comes from this site. Nothing is loaded from anyone else.
- Counting visits. When a page opens, it tells our server that one more page was viewed. To count each visitor once a day, the server turns your network address and your browser’s name into a one-way code, using a secret key that it replaces at midnight (UTC) and then forgets. Only the current day’s codes are kept, and once the key is gone they cannot be traced to anyone. What is kept for good are each day’s totals: visitors, page views and downloads. Anyone can see those totals on this site.
- Downloads are counted the same way, once for each visitor in a day.
- The page also tells the server which page was opened and the page you came from. The server does not keep either, and it writes no access logs.
If you write to us
If you use the contact form or email hello@aiteleresearch.com, we use your name, address and message only to reply, and delete them if you ask. The form sends them to our team's inbox by email, through our email provider, Resend, and sends you a confirmation the same way. This website does not keep them; it remembers only, for a few minutes and as a scrambled code, how often your connection has written, to stop the form being used to send spam.
Children
Laghu is not made for children. AI models can write things unsuitable for them, so anyone under 18 should use it with a parent or guardian.
Changes
If what Laghu or this website sends ever changes, this page changes first, and the date above with it.
Disclaimer
Last updated 8 November 2026
Laghu is a tool for running AI models. It is not a source of truth, and nothing a model says through it is ours.
Answers can be wrong
The models Laghu runs can be wrong, out of date, biased, or simply make things up, however sure they sound. Check anything that matters against a reliable source before you rely on it.
Not professional advice
Nothing a model writes through Laghu is medical, legal, financial, psychological or any other professional advice, and none of it should take the place of a qualified professional. Using Laghu creates no professional relationship between you and Aitele Research LLP.
The models are not ours
We don’t make, train or review the models in Laghu’s library; we list them so that good ones are easy to find. Their makers are responsible for them, and their licences govern them.
Agent mode changes files
In Agent mode a model can create, change and delete files in the folder you give it. Read what it asks to do before you allow it, keep backups, and don’t give it a folder you can’t afford to lose.
Pages from the web
Pages found by a web search belong to their owners. We don’t check or endorse them, and a model can misread them.
Speed figures
The speeds on this site were measured on our own computers. Yours will differ with your computer, the model you choose and whatever else is running.
Names
Windows is a trademark of Microsoft. Model names, and the names of the other products and companies on this site, belong to their owners. Laghu is not affiliated with or endorsed by any of them.

If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force. This agreement, together with THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md, is the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Software.

What Laghu is built with
Laghu is built with open-source software, and we’re grateful to the people who make it. Each component is used under its own licence. The full list, with every licence text, is in Laghu’s About screen and in the THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md file that comes with every download. Where a component’s licence differs from Laghu’s licence agreement, the component’s own licence applies to that component.
The models you use
Laghu ships with no models. Each model you use is licensed by its maker, commonly under Apache 2.0, MIT, the Llama Community Licence, the Gemma Terms of Use or the Qwen Licence, and some allow non-commercial use only. Laghu’s library shows each model’s licence before you download it. Read it before you rely on a model, particularly for work.
