That seems like a pretty naive and biased approach to software to me honestly.

Ease of use, community support, feature set, CI/CD etc..all should come into play when deciding what to use.

Freedom at all costs is great until you limit the community development and potential user base by 90% by using a completely open repo service that 5% of the population uses or some small discord alternative.

So then the option is to host on multiple platforms/communities and the management and time investment goes up keeping them in sync and active.

As with most things in life, it's best to look at things with nuance rather than a hard stance imo.

I may stand it up on another service at some point, but also anyone else is totally free to do that as well. There are no restrictions.

Ahh, I see lol

I'm not sure I understand at all?

It's fully open source, can run/connect any number of fully local models as well as the big name models if a user chooses to use them.

Can you expand on what you mean?

Thanks!

Unfortunately currently there isn't a true RAG implementation largely due to the fact that this site/app is fully self contained with no additional servers or database etc..which is typically required for RAG.

For now file uploads are stored in the browser's own local database and the content can be extracted and added to the current conversation context easily.

I definitely want to add a more full RAG system but it's a process to say the least, and if I implement it I want it to be quite effective. My experience with RAG generally has left me quite unimpressed with a few quite decent implementations being the exception.

Web search is definitely something I want to add, haven't quite figured out the route I want to take implementing it just yet though.

Hopefully I can get it added sooner rather than later!

This project is entirely web based using Vue 3, it doesn't use langchain and I haven't looked into it before honestly but I do see they offer a JS library I could utilize. I'll definitely be looking into that!

As a result there is no LLM function calling currently and apps like LM Studio don't support function calling when hosting models locally from what I remember. It's definitely on my list to add the ability to retrieve outside data like searching the web and generating a response with the results etc..

I haven't personally tried it yet with Ollama but it should work since it looks like Ollama has the ability to use OpenAI Response Formatted API https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/docs/openai.md

I might give it go here in a bit to test and confirm.

Local models are indeed already supported! In fact any API (local or otherwise) that uses the OpenAI response format (which is the standard) will work.

So you can use something like LM Studio to host a model locally and connect to it via the local API it spins up.

If you want to get crazy...fully local browser models are also supported in Chrome and Edge currently. It will download the selected model fully and load it into the WebGPU of your browser and let you chat. It's more experimental and takes actual hardware power since you're fully hosting a model in your browser itself. As seen below.

I use the F-GT Lite as my main rig and have no real complaints. It's everything I would want from a midrange foldable rig.

I do want to add a bass shaker or two and I think it'll be a perfectly reasonable cockpit for 95% of people.

Edit - I of course would always welcome as solid of a wheel mounting system as possible. The Lite has some wiggle but it can be compensated for with few tweaks.

Interesting, thanks for the info!

I wasn't aware of the update process being used as an attack vector (if it's still a thing) gonna have to read up more on that.

I used Apple for the last few years until recently and I can't say I've ever really noticed stuff like apps faking being another app. That's not to say it doesn't happen of course.

I do know the Apple app approval process is definitely more strict than what is required for the Play Store.

I'm not very experienced with Apple or Android development so I'd be curious to hear from devs that use both platforms as well.
