llamafile VS langchain

I think the llamafile[0] system works the best. Binary works on the command line or launches a mini webserver. Llamafile offers builds of Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct, so presumably they may package this one up as well (potentially a quantized format).

You would have to confirm with someone deeper in the ecosystem, but I think you should be able to run this new model as is against a llamafile?

I haven't tried running a local text-to-speech engine backed by an LLM to control Home Assistant. Maybe someone is working on this already?

It would take some tweaking to get the voice commands working correctly.

While I did not succeed in making the matmul code from https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile/blob/main/llamafil... work in isolation, I compared eigen, openblas, and mkl: https://gist.github.com/Dobiasd/e664c681c4a7933ef5d2df7caa87...

In this (very primitive!) benchmark, MKL was a bit better than eigen (~10%) on my machine (i5-6600).

Since the article https://justine.lol/matmul/ compared the new kernels with MLK, we can (by transitivity) compare the new kernels with Eigen this way, at least very roughly for this one use-case.

Yes, they're just ZIP files that also happen to be actually portable executables.

have you seen llamafile[0]?

llama.cpp has integrated gemma support. So you can use llamafile for this. It is a standalone executable that is portable across most popular OSes.

So, download the executable from the releases page under assets. You want either just main or just server. Don't get the huge ones with the model inlined in the file. The executable is about 30MB in size,

The improvements in ease of use for locally hosting LLMs over the last few months have been amazing. I was ranting about how easy https://github.com/Mozilla-Ocho/llamafile is just a few hours ago [1]. Now I'm torn as to which one to use :)

Limited by the current packaging method of Pluto, it does not yet support LangChain's Template Ecosystem. Coming soon

Big fan of Aider.

We are interesting in integrating Aider as a tool for Dosu https://dosu.dev/ to help it navigate and modify a codebase on issues like this https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/8263#issuec...

Developed using Langchain and Streamlit technologies for enhanced performance.

Tip: Kenton Blacutt, an AWS Associate Cloud App Developer, collaborated with Langchain, creating the Amazon Dynamodb based memory class that allows us to store the history of a langchain agent in an Amazon DynamoDB.

LangChain was first released in October 2022 as an open-source side project, a framework that makes developing AI applications more flexible. It got so popular that it was promptly turned into a startup.

> Furthermore, the prompt has a spelling error (Let'w) and also overly focuses on the negative about identifying errors - which makes me skeptical that this prompt has been optimized or tested.

Fixed in https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/commit/7c6009b76f0...

Being able to plug third party frameworks (Langchain, LlamaIndex) so you can build complex projects
