I spent the last few days building out a nicer ChatGPT-like interface to use Mistral 7B and Llama 3 fully within a browser (no deps and installs). I’ve used the WebLLM project by MLC AI for a while to interact with LLMs in the browser when handling sensitive data but I found their UI quite lacking for serious use so I built a much better interface around WebLLM. I’ve been using it as a therapist and coach. And it’s wonderful knowing that my personal information never leaves my local computer. Should work on Desktop with Chrome or Edge. Other browsers are adding WebGPU support as well - see…

Hi everyone, we’re a small team, supported by Mozilla, who are working on re-imagining a UI for training, tuning and testing local LLMs. Everything is open source. If you’ve been training your own LLMs or have always wanted to, we’d love for you to play with the tool and give feedback on what the future development experience for LLM engineering could look like.

Hi HN, we're Sean, Alec, and swyx, and we've been hacking on this side project that harmonizes all the major AI chat apps (Closed LLMs, Open Source Hosted LLMs, and Local/GGML ones too) and lets you invoke them in one keyboard shortcut. I originally made this as a smol menubar app that could quickly access ChatGPT from wherever I was on desktop. This necessitated writing an Electron app, rather than a Chrome extension. I also didn't have access to the GPT-4 API at the time, so I preferred to use GPT-4 via the full webapp. Then Bing came out strong, and Bard, and Claude, and Llama, and…

Hey Folks! I've been building an open source benchmark for measuring local LLM performance on your own hardware. The benchmarking tool is a CLI written on top of Llamafile to allow for portability across different hardware setups and operating systems. The website is a database of results from the benchmark, allowing you to explore the performance of different models and hardware configurations. Please give it a try! Any feedback and contribution is much appreciated. I'd love for this to serve as a helpful resource for the local AI community. For more check out: - Website:…
