Ask HN: What is the current (Apr. 2024) gold standard of running an LLM locally?
Some of the tools offer a path to doing tool use (fetching URLs and doing things with them) or RAG (searching your documents). I think Oobabooga https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui offers the latter through plugins.
Our tool, https://github.com/transformerlab/transformerlab-app also supports the latter (document search) using local llms.

Ask HN: How to get started with local language models?
You can use webui https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
Once you get a version up and running I make a copy before I update it as several times updates have broken my working version and caused headaches.
a decent explanation of parameters outside of reading archive papers: https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui/wiki/03-%...

Ask HN: People who switched from GPT to their own models. How was it?
The other answers are recommending paths which give you #1. less control and #2. projects with smaller eco-systems.
If you want a truly general purpose front-end for LLMs, the only good solution right now is oobabooga: https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui
All other alternatives have only small fractions of the features that oobabooga supports. All other alternatives only support a fraction of the LLM backends that oobabooga supports, etc.

Nvidia's Chat with RTX is a promising AI chatbot that runs locally on your PC
> Downloading text-generation-webui takes a minute, let's you use any model and get going.
What you're missing here is you're already in this area deep enough to know what ooogoababagababa text-generation-webui is. Let's back out to the "average Windows desktop user" level. Assuming they even know how to find it:
1) Go to https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui?tab=readm...
2) See a bunch of instructions opening a terminal window and running random batch/powershell scripts. Powershell, etc will likely prompt you with a scary warning. Then you start wondering who ooobabagagagaba is...
3) Assuming you get this far (many users won't even get to step 1) you're greeted with a web interface[0] FILLED to the brim with technical jargon and extremely overwhelming options just to get a model loaded, which is another mind warp because you get to try to select between a bunch of random models with no clear meaning and non-sensical/joke sounding names from someone called "TheBloke". Ok...
Let's say you somehow braved this gauntlet and get this far now you get to chat with it. Ok, what about my local documents? text-generation-webui itself has nothing for that. Repeat this process over the 10 random open source projects from a bunch of names you've never heard of in an attempt to accomplish that.
This is "I saw this thing from Nvidia explode all over media, twitter, youtube, etc. I downloaded it from Nvidia, double-clicked, pointed it at a folder with documents, and it works".
That's the difference and it's very significant.

Ask HN: What are your top 3 coolest software engineering tools?
Maybe a copout answer, but setting up a local LLM on my development machine has been invaluable. I use Deep Seek Coder 6.7 [0] and Oobabooga's UI [1]. It helps me solve simple problems and find bugs, while still leaving the larger architecture decisions to me.

Ollama Python and JavaScript Libraries
Same question here. Ollama is fantastic as it makes it very easy to run models locally, But if you already have a lot of code that processes OpenAI API responses (with retry, streaming, async, caching etc), it would be nice to be able to simply switch the API client to Ollama, without having to have a whole other branch of code that handles Alama API responses. One way to do an easy switch is using the litellm library as a go-between but it’s not ideal (and I also recently found issues with their chat formatting for mistral models).
For an OpenAI compatible API my current favorite method is to spin up models using oobabooga TGW. Your OpenAI API code then works seamlessly by simply switching out the api_base to the ooba endpoint. Regarding chat formatting, even ooba’s Mistral formatting has issues[1] so I am doing my own in Langroid using HuggingFace tokenizer.apply_chat_template [2]

Related question - I assume ollama auto detects and applies the right chat formatting template for a model?

Ask HN: What are the capabilities of consumer grade hardware to work with LLMs?
I agree, I've definitely seen way more information about running image synthesis models like Stable Diffusion locally than I have LLMs. It's counterintuitive to me that Stable Diffusion takes less RAM than an LLM, especially considering it still needs the word vectors. Goes to show I know nothing.
I guess it comes down to the requirement of a very high end (or multiple) GPU that makes it impractical for most vs just running it in Colab or something.
Tho there are some efforts:

Meta to release open-source commercial AI model
If you're just looking to play with something locally for the first time, this is the simplest project I've found and has a simple web UI: https://github.com/cocktailpeanut/dalai
It works for 7B/13B/30B/65B LLaMA and Alpaca (fine-tuned LLaMA which definitely works better). The smaller models at least should run on pretty much any computer.

FreedomGPT: AI with no censorship
I am not against easy mode options dude, for example I used to run GANs through command line. I replaced them with Upscayl when I found it. Convenience is king after all. Something about this one isn't right though. They are advertising it as a model they built meanwhile their own github show it to be a frontend of LLAMA. Why aren't they honest about it? Why use bots to spam about it? This causes me to not trust the executable they share to 1 to 1 compliation of the source code neither. I would still recommend looking for more decent alternatives. Btw, running it directly isn't that complicated

A brief history of LLaMA models
I had it running before with Dalai (https://github.com/cocktailpeanut/dalai) but have since moved to using the browser based WebGPU method (https://mlc.ai/web-llm/) which uses Vicuna 7B and is quite good.
