interesting! Quick question:

does TXT OS work equally well with open-source models, or is it optimized more for models like GPT-4 or Claude?

Hey, good question!

I've actually tested TXT OS with about 10 different AIs already—you can check out the full rundown on my repo. Generally, ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, and Perplexity gave the smoothest and best experience. The others still work fine, but some, like Gemini, have minor quirks (Gemini randomly adds a weird parameter during initial setup, but it sorts itself out after the first step).

So, long story short, if you want a hassle-free experience, go with ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, or Perplexity!
