  3. llamafile

    Distribute and run LLMs with a single file.

    To run text-to-speech on my laptop, I've been using Justine Tunney's downloadable single executable Whisper file.

    I use it transcribe audio then copy into an LLM to get notes on whatever it is. Helps me decide to watch or listen to something and saves a bunch of time.
