🍄 About Expanse

Meet the team

</aside>

Expanse supports a wide range of file types, making it super easy to upload a file and ask questions about it.

Simply upload files in any Thread by clicking the ‘Add File’ button in the Editor.

Can I upload images?

Yes, you can upload images in Expanse.

Note that only certain LLMs with Vision can “read” images, as is shown with the eye icon.

What is the maximum file size for uploads?

• Text-based files are limited to 10MB per file. You can upload as many files as you like.
• Image files have no upload limit size.

How many files can be uploaded at once?

• For text-based files, there is no limit to the number of files you can upload.
• For image files, you can upload a maximum of 5 per query.

Note: Adding more files will increase the amount of Credits for each message. You can view the estimated cost of your message in the Context Breakdown Bar.

What happens to my uploaded files?

All your files stay private, and only get stored locally on your private device. We never store or access your data. We take your privacy seriously and always ensure your data is secure.

How long will files be retained?

Since your files are privately stored on your local device, they are retained forever. This means you can always return to an older Thread where the file contents will be available for follow-ups. The file is only removed if you delete the associated Thread.

<aside> ⚠️

Note: that the more files and images you upload, the more storage/memory this will take up on your device.

</aside>

Can files be downloaded after uploading?

• For text-based files - no. After uploading, you cannot download the file, however, the file contents remain available so you can always copy and paste the contents.
• For image files - yes. To download an image, simply click the ‘Download’ icon.

Why can’t Expanse read my file?

Make sure your file is text-based. If you’re uploading a PDF, the LLM won’t be able to “read” your images. You can verify this by trying to select text in the document; if you can select it, then the AI can see it.

If you’re trying to upload image files, make sure the LLM has Vision capability.

See the full list of our available LLMs and their capability here.
