I was looking back at some old lemmee posts and came across GPT4All. Didn't get much sleep last night as it's awesome, even on my old (10yo) laptop with a Compute 5.0 NVidia card.

Still, I'm after more, I'd like to be able to get image creation and view it in the conversation, if it generates python code, to be able to run it (I'm using Debian, and have a default python env set up). Local file analysis also useful. CUDA Compute 5.0 / vulkan compatibility needed too with the option to use some of the smaller models (1-3B for example). Also a local API would be nice for my own python experiments.

Is there anything that can tick the boxes? Even if I have to scoot across models for some of the features? I'd prefer more of a desktop client application than a docker container running in the background.

Maybe LocalAI? It doesn't do python code execution, but pretty much all of the rest.

This looks interesting - do you have experience of it? How reliable / efficient is it?

[–] mitexleo@buddyverse.one 1 points 1 year ago

LocalAI is pretty good but resource-intensive. I ran it on a vps in the past.

I think many people use it and it works. But sorry - no, I don't have any first-hand experience. I've tested it for a bit and it looked fine. Has a lot of features and it should be as efficient as any other ggml/llama.cpp based inference solution at least for text. I myself use KoboldCPP for the few things I do with AI and my computer is lacking a GPU so I don't really do a lot of images with software like this. And it's likely going to be less for you than the 15 minutes it takes me to generate an image on my unsuited machine.
