Looking for an alternative to Microsoft Copilot in Word without recurring inference costs? Consider using local LLMs directly within Microsoft Word. For example, Mehul’s post highlights that Phi-4 is currently considered the leading choice among small-sized LLMs due to its significant improvements over previous versions. Therefore, it’s worth experimenting with integrating Phi-4 into Microsoft Word to explore its capabilities. You can view a demonstration video showcasing how seamlessly Phi-4 integrates into Microsoft Word using LM Studio. The most appealing aspect of this method is that it incurs no ongoing inference costs and functions as long as your computer remains operational.
Here’s a quick demo. The demo is powered by GPTLocalhost, which offers the same core features for individual use. LocPilot for Word is the Intranet edition of GPTLocalhost designed for enterprise users and team collaboration.
