llm VS private-gpt

That's a great use case, you might be able to do this if you've got a copy and paste on the command line with

https://github.com/simonw/llm

In between. An alias like pdfwtf translating to "paste | llm command | copy"

I added support for this model to my LLM CLI tool via a new plugin: https://github.com/simonw/llm-command-r

So now you can do this:

    pipx install llm

If you're willing to use the CLI, Simon Willison's llm library[0] should do the trick.

I'm not thrilled about https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/localllm/blob/main/ll... calling their Python package "llm" and installing "llm" as a CLI command, when my similar https://llm.datasette.io/ project has that namespace reserved on PyPI already: https://pypi.org/project/llm/

I've been gleefully exploring the intersection of LLMs and CLI utilities for a few months now - they are such a great fit for each other! The unix philosophy of piping things together is a perfect fit for how LLMs work.

I've mostly been exploring this with my https://llm.datasette.io/ CLI tool, but I have a few other one-off tools as well: https://github.com/simonw/blip-caption and https://github.com/simonw/ospeak

I'm puzzled that more people aren't loudly exploring this space (LLM+CLI) - it's really fun.

Seems nice if you're using c# or java. It also supports python, but for that Simon's llm library is nice because he designed it as both a library and a command line tool: https://github.com/simonw/llm

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!
