Show HN: qqqa – a fast, stateless LLM-powered assistant for your shell
Feel like this might have already been done and beyond by aichat (which I give the alias `ai` on my machines)

What's your favorite CLI tool for integrating LLMs into your terminal workflow?

Show HN: WTFfmpeg
This is what agent do, aichat [1] can do this. What you want is a wrapper for it to pipe the result back to LLM and make sure the command succeeded.

Gemini CLI
I want something like this but that can talk to my local AI servers. I'm not a fan of cloud-based AI.
I use aichat now but it's not perfect. https://github.com/sigoden/aichat
The UI on this tool is much better.

News Sites Are Getting Crushed by Google's New AI Tools
With the huge usage that LLM APIs are getting in all sorts of industries, they cannot be going away, and they're cheap.
If consumer AI chatbots get enshittified, you can just grab some open source bring-your-api-keys front-end, and chat away for peanuts without ads or anything anti-user.
I use https://github.com/sigoden/aichat , but there are GUIs too.
Plus, anyone enterprising can just write a web front-end and sell it as "the ad-free AI chatbot, only $10/mo, usage limits apply".

A tiny Go tool for generating conventional commits using Claude
```
I like that your tool includes some previous commit messages... I'm not sure if that can be done with `aichat` but it seems like a great idea.
I'd be tempted to wrap individual commit messages in pseudo-xml tags, as Claude really likes those[^2] and the `%B` format doesn't really show the breaks between commit messages.

Show HN: Onit – open-source ChatGPT Desktop with local mode, Claude, Gemini
This one feels a bit buggy and it might be abandoned, but it has basic functionality for working with ollama models.
Also worth a mention is [aichat](https://github.com/sigoden/aichat). It's not a native gui app, but it's an impressive cli client.

Ask HN: Is anyone doing anything cool with tiny language models?
I think I know what he means. I use AI Chat. I load Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct with llama.cpp server, fully offloaded to the CPU, and then I config AI Chat to connect to the llama.cpp endpoint.
Checkout the demo they have below
