FAQ
What is Ethen?
Ethen is an intelligence platform and research company. Ethen is also the name of its unified AI workspace.
Is Ethen only a chatbot?
Chat is one way to work. Ethen also includes specialized products for tasks such as coding and model access.
How can I choose models?
Direct model choice remains available. Gateway provides supported provider access and configured routing; Faros is optional.
What do flagship, open, and local mean?
They describe model choices and execution paths. An open model is not necessarily running locally, and availability depends on supported access.
Does a model listing mean I can run it?
A listing describes a model. Runtime access depends on a supported provider or compatible local setup; catalog inclusion does not mean Ethen hosts it.
Does local execution make Ethen fully offline?
No. Local execution requires a supported runtime, and account services, history, or other workspace services may still connect to the cloud.
Why do approvals matter?
Where implemented, approvals put human review before sensitive or state-changing actions.
What is evidence in Ethen?
Recorded requests, outputs, references, route choices, approval history, and review notes, depending on what the surface captures.
