I really hope someone is working on integrating it with Home Assistant.
Introducing the Nextcloud AI Assistant - local, privacy-respecting, and fully open source 🎉

Yeah I basically want a private Google Home/Alexa/Siri and it seems like we’re edging ever closer to that possibility.

I haven’t had a chance to mess with HA’s voice assistant yet, but I’ve been hearing good things about it.

Same!!

Im curious to see what sorts of recommended minimum specs there will be for these features. It is my understanding that these sorts of models require a non negligible amount of horsepower to run in a timely manner.
At the moment I am running Nextcloud on some raspberry pis and, my gut tells me I might need a bit more oomph than that to handle this sort of real time AI prompting >_>;

The blog post states:
We build the AI Assistant using a flexible, solution-independent approach which gives you a choice between multiple large language models (LLM) and services. It can be fully hosted within your instance, processing all requests in-house, or powered by an external service.
So it sounds like you pick what works for you. I’d guess on a raspberry pi, on board processing would be both slow and poor quality, but I’ll probably give it a go anyway.
pixxelkick@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah sorry I was specifically referring to the on prem LLM if that wasnt clear, and how much juice running that thing takes.
BrownianMotion@lemmy.world 1 year ago
the AI that nextcloud is offering uses openAI, sign up get a api key and add it. Your ai requests goto the cloud. (and i couldnt get it to work, constant " too many request" or a straight “failed”)
The other option is the addon " local llm", you download a cutdown llm like llama2 or falcon and it runs locally. I did get thoes all installed, but it didnt work for general prompts.
Nextcloud will probably fix things over time, and the developer who made the local llm plugin will to, but right now this isnt very useful to selfhosters.

Llama’s getting pretty damn good, check out phind.com if you haven’t yet…its programming better than GPT-4 supposedly!
PeachMan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Well, Nextcloud runs like shit on a Pi WITHOUT having to do AI stuff, so…

People should stop suggesting Nextcloud for Rpi. I really love Nextcloud but it sometimes struggles with even somewhat decent machine.
redcalcium@lemmy.institute 1 year ago
Nextcloud would struggle on devices with low CPU performance and slow storage speed. A Pi checks all those box. You might increase the performance a bit by running nextcloud from an external SSD but there is no fixing the Pi’s low CPU performance.
lupec@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Yeah, I’m wondering the same and also figure the requirements will be pretty significant. Still, pretty happy things like this and Home Assistant’s recent work on local voice assistants have been popping up.

Stuff like this and the growing inability to opt-out of AI and “Smart functions” is why I consider migrating away from NC both on my self hosted and VPS Nextcloud.

I’m glad they’re taking AI seriously. I feel the world of commercial services and free software have been diverging for some time. With the former being extended with lots of recommendation algorithms, AI features, smart assistants and machine learning shenanigans.
While I like my free software without recommendation algorithms that cater for advertisers and confine me in a filter bubble, I like the ML and AI stuff to be available in free software as well. Like a voice assistant, AI that helps with organizing stuff, querying documents, transcribing voice messages… This is all very useful.
I’d like some of the machine learning stuff to be adopted in other free software projects as well. For example GIMP adopting the current AI helpers. And tight integration of text to speech and speech to text into the desktop environments and available in my package manager.

i am missing AI search. imagine having 100 cooking recipes and i want to ask the assistant stg like how much salt do i need for whatever recipe i am cooking. sure text or image generation is nice but i can get that elsewhere

How is this better/different than GPT4All?
