Using NanoGPT
Click New Chat to begin a new chat or New Image to generate an image.
You can use any model you can think of. We show text, image and video models in rank order using independent leaderboards, and default to ChatGPT-4o. We also offer an auto model that automatically selects the best model for your prompt, or you can sort the models based on their performance on specific subjects.
Your prompts, conversations and images are always stored locally on your device. We store your balance locally as well, unless you create an account which allows us to securely store your balance on our servers. We never store your conversations/prompts/images.
NanoGPT has very low minimums. You can deposit $1 using a credit card or as little as $0.10 using most crypto to start, and add funds as needed.
Our testimonials page shows reviews from many people with sources linked.

Yes, you can create an account by clicking sign in on the bottom of the menu. Creating an account allows us to securely store your balance on our servers, providing a seamless experience across devices. However, this is optional, and you can still use NanoGPT without an account with everything stored locally on your device. Conversations are always stored only locally, not on our servers.
Yes, you can install us as a Progressive Web App and we have a Chrome Extension that allows you to query NanoGPT anytime during your browsing.
As explained by ChatGPT itself, "a model is a type of AI that's trained to understand, interpret, generate, and respond to human language. It learns from a vast dataset of text and develops an understanding of language patterns, grammar, facts, and even nuances like humor or sarcasm."
We would describe these models as fantastic assistants on a wide range of topics: personal advice, programming, helping with learning, writing, medical questions and being an intelligent partner in practically any subject you can think of.
Some of the models we offer are open-source, some are closed-source. The famous ones such as ChatGPT and Claude are closed-source and are seen as the most advanced models.
Open-source models such as LLama and DeepSeek are generally cheaper, but do less well on most benchmarks.
Most models have different gradations. GPT-4 is "smarter" than GPT-3, while Claude 4 is smarter than Claude 3. Prices tend to reflect this.
We use independent leaderboards to rank text, image and video models, the top model in the list being the current best. For text, we use LMArena's leaderboard. For images, we use Artificial Analysis Image Leaderboard. For video, we use Artificial Analysis Video Leaderboard.
Any text that is in the conversation so far gets sent to the model that you are using, every time. When you start a new conversation nothing except your new message gets sent. When you have a conversation where a few messages have gone back and forth, it means the previous messages are also sent to the model.
It does not matter for this whether you keep using the same model or switch halfway through. Switching between models halfway through the chat means model B gets sent your prompt along with the message history in that conversation so far with model A, and uses it all to generate a reply.
Yes, we offer prompt caching for Claude. This can be turned on in the settings. Click adjust settings or click the gear icon to turn it on.
For both video and image models, you can adjust various settings by clicking the "Adjust Settings" button (gear icon on mobile) when you're in image or video generation mode. This allows you to customize parameters like resolution, aspect ratio, and other model-specific options to better suit your needs.
Alternatively, visit our Media Generation page which is better suited to image and video generation.
We have models that support this - they are listed with IMG2IMG behind their name when you go to select your image model of choice!
Anything you generate is completely yours to do with as you wish. Use, sell, reprint, merchandise, they are your property.
For our Movie Generator we use Longstories AI. You can learn more about their platform and capabilities at longstories.ai.
To generate videos, select a video model from the model dropdown when creating content. You can choose from various video generation models that are ranked based on quality and performance. Simply enter your prompt describing the video you want to create, and the AI will generate it for you.
Alternatively, visit our Media Generation page which is better suited to image and video generation.
The supported video formats and lengths depend on the specific video model you choose. Different models may offer various resolution options, durations, and output formats. You can adjust these settings using the "Adjust Settings" button when in video generation mode.
Alternatively, visit our Media Generation page which is better suited to image and video generation.
Some of our video models support image-to-video generation, allowing you to animate existing images or use them as starting points for video creation. Look for models that specifically mention image-to-video (IMG2VID) capabilities when selecting your video model.
All conversations are stored locally on your device and can be accessed by going to the Conversations tab. Any conversation can be continued at any time. Note that you can only access conversations on the same device where you originally had them, as they are stored locally in your browser.
Conversations are automatically saved locally on your device and can be accessed by going to the Conversations tab. You can also download your conversations from the conversations tab to keep a backup or transfer them to another device, and you can similarly download a conversation by exporting it using the three dots at the top right of your conversation.
We strongly value privacy. You are not required to create an account or provide any personal information to use this website.
By default we do not store anything except a cookie containing your account number with your associated balance. Chats you have via this website are stored locally in your browser. When you clear your website data, we can not help you retrieve your conversations or images. We do not store them, we do not keep them as a backup.
When we communicate with model providers we send your prompt and the prompts you've sent previously in that conversation. No conversation is linked to any other conversation, and no identifiable information is sent along with the prompts. From the provider's perspective each conversation is a standalone conversation that is only identifiable by our API key, which is the same for all users and all conversations.
For more information on how we deal with privacy see our Privacy page in which we explain it more thoroughly.
When you deposit crypto we credit you with a USD balance based on the current exchange rate to dollars (with no fee added). When you deposit Nano we add it to your account as a Nano balance, and you get a 5% discount on your usage.
You can use our service without creating an account. We generate a random session user ID for every user. This user ID (UUID) gets stored in your browser cookies and is what essentially stores your balance. If you ever clear your cookies and have not signed in to an email or linked your account with Google or Github, you can use the UUID to restore your balance. Someone else can not randomly guess your UUID and claim your balance that way. If someone could generate 1 billion UUIDs every second for 100 years, the probability of creating just one duplicate would be about 50%. We also rate-limit the attempts so that no one can mass randomly guess UUIDs.
Yes! You can check out our testimonials page which features reviews from our users with links to the original sources. We're transparent about user feedback and encourage you to verify the authenticity of reviews by checking the source links.
Generally speaking if you are using one of the more well known models such as the ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini etc, you will not be rate limited unless you are doing thousands of requests per minute or more than a billion tokens per day. If this is your situation, reach out to us so we can make sure to provide proper service (and possibly a discount).
We work together with many providers. If you think you offer models that we don't have yet, or can offer models for a lower price, feel free to reach out to us either at support@nano-gpt.com or find us on our Discord.
Yes. We pay the different providers for the usage of their models - while some think that we take out one subscription to for example ChatGPT and share it between users, this is not the case. We pay for each request and each token processed via different APIs - more usage means more income for the providers.
ChatGPT, Claude and other AI assistants assist many people with everything from everyday tasks to complex solutions. They have been proven to be incredibly helpful tools in furthering knowledge, teaching new skills, and broadening perspectives.
Not everyone has access to these models. With global median income at ~$250 per month, a $20 per month subscription is expensive. Billions of people are unable or unwilling to pay this much, limiting their ability to use state-of-the-art models.
Many people do not have access to a credit card. Some might live in countries where you don't want anyone to know what questions you are asking ChatGPT.
This service is for those people. Rather than paying upfront, people pay only for what they use. NanoGPT can be used anonymously, by anyone, from anywhere. We accept credit cards but also offer the option to add via crypto for those without credit card access.
ChatGPT, Claude and other models should be available to anyone in the world and we are trying to make that happen.
Nano offers instant payments at zero fees. It's an enviromentally friendly cryptocurrency focused on scaling payments. It's possible to try Nano for free by downloading a wallet like Nautilus (iOS, Android) and getting some free Nano from a Nanodrop faucet.
