The built-in AI staff [sic]... is... an accelerator to integrate with 3rd-party or self-hosted LLMs.

Users are only shown Big Tech "3rd-party" options. Mozilla made this choice intentionally.

Since Mozilla is clearly capable of developing an add-on that is not forcefully installed on user's devices, they should remove the built-in thing that endorses the highly unethical chatbots run by Google, OpenAI, etc.

Well, how many users really have LLM local-hosted?

So we agree Mozilla only chose to promote Big Tech options.
