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.

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?

Show HN: I created automatic subtitling app to boost short videos
whisper.cpp [1] has a karaoke example that uses ffmpeg's drawtext filter to display rudimentary karaoke-like captions. It also supports diarisation. Perhaps it could be a starting point to create a better script that does what you need.

LLMs on your local Computer (Part 1)
The ggml library is one of the first library for local LLM interference. It’s a pure C library that converts models to run on several devices, including desktops, laptops, and even mobile device - and therefore, it can also be considered as a tinkering tool, trying new optimizations, that will then be incorporated into other downstream projects. This tool is at the heart of several other projects, powering LLM interference on desktop or even mobile phones. Subprojects for running specific LLMs or LLM families exists, such as whisper.cpp.

Voxos.ai – An Open-Source Desktop Voice Assistant
I'm not sure if it is _fully_ openai compatible, but whispercpp has a server bundled that says it is "OAI-like": https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp/tree/master/example...
I don't have any direct experience with it... I've only played around with whisper locally, using scripts.

I've open sourced my Flutter plugin to run on-device LLMs on any platform. TestFlight builds available now.
Usage 1: Good to transcribe audio. An example use case could be to summarize YouTube videos or long courses. Usage 2: You talk with voice to your AI that responds with text (later with audio too). - https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp

Whisper C++ not working for me. Anyone else?
Has anyone played around with Whisper C++ for swift? I'm hitting a snag even on the demo. I've downloaded the github repo and everything matches up with this video [ https://youtu.be/b10OHCDHDQ4 ] but when he hits the transcribe button, it actually prints out the captioning. When I do it, it skips that part and just says "Done...". But it, does everything else - plays the audio, says it's transcribing.. just doesn't show me the transcription: and it's not in the debug window either. But the demo isn't throwing any errors, and I haven't messed with the code really so this is their example. https://github.com/ggerganov/whisper.cpp
