LLM

An LLM (Large Language Model) is the underlying AI model — GPT, Claude, Gemini, and others — that actually generates text, reasoning, and tool calls for an agent or assistant.

The LLM is the engine; everything else in an AI product (prompts, tools, memory, permissions) is the vehicle built around it. Most products lock you into one vendor's engine. Understanding that the LLM and the product are separable is the first step to realizing you can choose.

Assistant

Masterforce is bring-your-own-AI: you choose which LLM powers your agents and assistant, including running one entirely locally.
