ollama VS private-gpt

- Basic internet search (I start ollama CLI faster than I can start a browser - https://ollama.com)

- 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

RAG for:

- Website assistants (https://github.com/bennyschmidt/ragdoll-studio/tree/master/e...)

- 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.

PrivateGPT is a nice tool for this. It's not exactly what you're asking for, but it gets part of the way there.

Further details available at: https://docs.privategpt.dev/api-reference/api-reference/ingestion

Run https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT

Then

make ingest /path/to/folder/with/files

Then chat to the LLM.

Done.

PrivateGPT repository in case anyone's interested: https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT . It doesn't seem to be linked from their official website.

I’m preparing a small internal tool for my work to search documents and provide answers (with references), I’m thinking of using GPT4All [0], Danswer [1] and/or privateGPT [2].

The RAG technique is very close to what I have in mind, but I don’t want the LLM to “hallucinate” and generate answers on its own by synthesizing the source documents. As stated by many others, we’re living in interesting times.

I've been playing around with https://github.com/imartinez/privateGPT and https://github.com/simonw/llm and wanted to create a simple Python package that made it easier to run ChatGPT-like LLMs on your own machine, use them with non-public data, and integrate them into practical applications.

This resulted in Python package I call OnPrem.LLM.

In the documentation, there are examples for how to use it for information extraction, text generation, retrieval-augmented generation (i.e., chatting with documents on your computer), and text-to-code generation: https://amaiya.github.io/onprem/

Enjoy!
