From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I'm not a huge fan of AI, but I do use it occasionally. I found a tool on Flathub that I've been trying out, so I thought i would share it if any for you need something like it. The interface is also pretty nice if you use Gnome(it don't look so nice KDE). Its unstable on my arch install

I have used Alpaca in the past, but personally I prefer GPT4ALL as it seems to be more complete.

[–] proxy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Any particular reason you prefer GPT4ALL?

[–] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Way more models available, faster in my experience, more reliable, local ChatGPT compatible api and advanced fine tuning features. There have been some additions to Alpaca since I last used it, so maybe I will try it again soon but since I don’t use it regularly I use GPT4ALL because it just works, and when I tried Alpaca didn’t.

I'd say alpaca is pretty much identical these days, the only major difference is the interface. If you need more power running something like Open WebUI with Ollama makes more sense.

There’s also https://lmstudio.ai/

[–] RmDebArc_5@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

But lmstudio isn’t FOSS no?

I recently did a very simple PR for this, adding keywords so I don't keep forgetting the name of the app and not being able to find it 😅

Nice! It can also connect to a remote instance of ollama 👍
