MacOS LLM Controller is a desktop application that allows users to execute macOS system commands using natural language input. It leverages a React-based frontend and a Flask-based backend integrated with LlamaStack to generate and execute Python code for macOS API calls. export INFERENCE_MODEL= " meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct " # Ollama names this model differently, and we must use the Ollama name when loading the model export OLLAMA_INFERENCE_MODEL= " llama3.2:3b-instruct-fp16 " Running the Model with Ollama Start the Ollama inference server with a 60-minute keepalive: export LLAMA_STACK_PORT=5001 docker run \ -it \ -p $LLAMA_STACK_PORT : $LLAMA_STACK_PORT \ -v ~ /.llama:/root/.llama \…from github.com

    Hi HN A few folks and I have been working on this project for a couple weeks now. After previously working on the Docker project for a number of years (both on the container runtime and image registry side), the recent rise in open source language models made us think something similar needed to exist for large language models too. While not exactly the same as running linux containers, running LLMs shares quite a few of the same challenges. There are "base layers" (e.g. models like Llama 2), specific configuration to run correctly (parameters, temperature, context window sizes etc). There's…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
