- Formatting/changing text

- Troubleshooting code, esp. new frameworks/libs

- Recipes

- Data entry

- Organizing thoughts: High-level lists, comparison, classification, synonyms, jargon & nomenclature

- Learning esp. by analogy and example

- Game NPCs (https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio/tree/master/e...)

- Discord/Slack/forum bots (https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio/tree/master/e...)

- Character-driven storytelling and creating art in a specific style for video game loading screens, background images, avatars, website art, etc. (https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio/tree/master/r...)

Jan goes a step further by integrating with other local engines like LM Studio and ollama.

# install the Ollama curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh # get the llama3 model ollama pull llama2 # install the MLFlow pip install mlflow

Ollama for running LLMs locally

curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

Streaming is not a problem (it's just a simple flag: https://github.com/wiktor-k/llama-chat/blob/main/index.ts#L2...) but I've never used voice input.

The examples show image input though: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/api.md#reque...

I’m a huge fan of open source models, especially the newly release Llama 3. Because of the performance of both the large 70B Llama 3 model as well as the smaller and self-host-able 8B Llama 3, I’ve actually cancelled my ChatGPT subscription in favor of Open WebUI, a self-hostable ChatGPT-like UI that allows you to use Ollama and other AI providers while keeping your chat history, prompts, and other data locally on any computer you control.

I'm a podman beginner, trying to install ollama-webui(1) using Podman on M2 MBA.

I started up Podman Desktop, and did a terminal command "docker run -d -p 3000:8080 --add-host=host.docker.internal:host-gateway -v ollama-webui:/app/backend/data --name ollama-webui --restart always ghcr.io/ollama-webui/ollama-webui:main" based on Github's instructions, but it gave a error message something about "host".

Do you know what is the problem and how do I overcome this?

If I run the above command using Docker Desktop, it runs and installs Ollama-WebUI just fine.

Thank you.

I set up Ollama in a docker container (really easy) and I use the Ollama web-ui here, that's very much like ChatGPT, and I have that in a container as well.

The primary use case here seems to be that it might be possible to use this tool to spend <$20/mo for the same feature set as ChatGPT+. It does not currently make any effort to support locally-hosted open source models, which is what I would have assumed from its name.

If you're interested in a fully Libre LLM stack, I've had fun lately with ollama [0] and ollama-webui [1]. It was pretty trivial to take ollama-webui's docker-compose file and set up a locally-running chat server with Mistral 7B. Trying out different models and prompts was likewise very easy to get started with.

Mistral isn't anything like as good as GPT-4, but it's Apache licensed and fully local, which meets my definition of Libre. I'll continue to use both while the FOSS stacks catch up, but it's fun to keep up with the progress on the open source stuff as tooling develops.
