If you’re seeking an alternative to Microsoft Copilot, consider Qwen’s newly released QwQ-32B. This open-source LLM excels in complex reasoning and holds its own against larger models like DeepSeek-R1. What’s exciting is the possibility of integrating QwQ-32B with Microsoft Word locally, eliminating any monthly fees entirely. This direction is at the core of our Local LLM Benchmarks for Microsoft Word, where we explore the move toward 100% data security on your intranet.
Check out a quick demo video to see it in action. The demo is powered by GPTLocalhost, which offers the same core features for individual use. LocPilot in Word is the Intranet edition of GPTLocalhost designed for enterprise users and team collaboration.

- Air-Gapped Security: Operate entirely within your intranet — no external connections.
- Cost Savings: Eliminate subscription fees for the entire team — no ongoing costs.
- Model Flexibility: Easily host and switch models to suit your use cases — no vendor lock-in.
