In plain words
Local GLaDOS is a voice chat interface modeled after GLaDOS, the AI character from Portal, powered by the Llama-3 70B language model. It delivers voice-to-voice responses in under 600 milliseconds, enabling fast conversational interaction. The system runs locally and is designed for users interested in conversational AI with low latency performance. The project is available on GitHub.

I built a free in-browser Llama 3 chatbot powered by WebGPU2024 · github.com · ▲547I 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…
