    The model must exist in GPT4All's model path. On arch this is ~/.local/share/nomic.ai/GPT4All/. An entry for this model must exist in models.json. You can use the metadata provided by nomic or specify your own in the following format if your model is not listed. The GPT4All wiki provides find guidance on configuring custom models.

    Hi it's me again! Over the past few days, I've been testing multiples ways to work with LLMs locally, and so far, Ollama was the best tool (ignoring UI and other QoL aspects) for setting up a fast environment to test code and features. I've tried GPT4ALL and other tools before, but they seem overly bloated when the goal is simply to set up a running model to connect with a LangChain API (on Windows with WSL).

    From the moment Llama 3.1 was released, GPT4All developers have been working hard to make a beta version of tool calling available. We're happy to announce that the beta is now ready. The first tool is web search implemented through brave.com just as in the Llama 3.1 paper.

    A wiki has been made to walk users through the setup here: https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all/wiki/Web-Search-Beta-Rel...

    Thanks for taking the time to respond. I was thinking of something local, especially in light of:

    Google's Gemini AI caught scanning Google Drive PDF files without permission https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40965892 .

    Looks like GPT4All[1] and AnythingLLM[2] are worth exploring. There's also the closed-source macOS app RecurseChat[3,4] which appeared on HN a few months ago[5].
