The Python SDK last shipped 2.8.2 on 14 August 2024, with changes still sitting in an Unreleased section, and the llama.cpp fork and CI haven't moved since May 2025. 729 open issues and 42 open pull requests. Issue #3690 of 9 July 2026 asks whether development has stopped, and two security reports were filed on 26 June 2026. I could see no maintainer reply to any of them, though comment threads didn't fully render, so that part is unchecked. Nomic's terms of 20 April 2026 cover its Platform and Agent API and don't mention GPT4All. No sunset notice, no deprecation policy, no statement either way. The dated Keep a Changelog file is good practice with nothing left to record. One, because it went quiet in May 2025 without saying whether it had stopped.

The local server on port 4891 has no authentication and sends `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *` on every response, so while it's on, any web page in the owner's browser can call /v1/chat/completions and read the answers, LocalDocs snippets from the owner's files included. A Host-header fix against DNS rebinding has sat on an unmerged branch since May 2025. #3682 is the supply chain. The model catalogue and fallback downloads come over plain HTTP, and nine request sites turn TLS certificate checks off, model downloads among them. No SECURITY.md, no security.txt, no advisories. The server is off by default and has no write actions, and that's the whole of the defence. One because both reports sit unanswered and main hasn't moved since May 2025.
