    🔮 ChatGPT Desktop Application (Mac, Windows and Linux)

  • > I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for a native Linux AI-assisted assistant.

    On Mac when I press Command + Space, it brings up Spotlight search

    That can't easily be added to be the equivalent of some kind of LLM prompt on GNOME/KDE/XFCE?

    I don't quite know what you'd ask it/do with it that would be of much value? Seems like a quicker way/a wrapper around either asking an LLM questions via CLI or basically Electron wrapping HTML (like this https://github.com/lencx/ChatGPT)?

  • llmtest

  • Shameless plug: I’m writing one for Ubuntu Touch and I’m planning on adding a desktop version as well.

    My frontend side is very weak so it’s going to be very barebones but contributions are welcome once it’s stable:

  • tlm

    Local CLI Copilot, powered by CodeLLaMa. 💻🦙 (by yusufcanb)

  • Perhaps this: https://github.com/yusufcanb/tlm?

    it is not distro bundled (yet), but I have it running on my Fedora Linux 39 running on a NUC with 16GB of RAM. Performance is good enough for me.
