• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What would it take for you to move away from Github?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty much any deterioration of service would do it, I’m not tied to github at all, it works but so does gitlab and self hosted solutions.

  No, it provides an API as an interface, it is not consuming an API.

  I don’t think you understand what this is. It is a local model, it runs locally. It provides an API which you can then use in the same manner as you would the ChatGPT API. I’m not super familiar with GPT4all since llama.cpp/kobold.cpp are pretty much the standard in local inferrence, but for example llama-cpp-python provides an OpenAI compatible API.

  I’m using a SteamDeck as my desktop environment while docked, I think it’s the only “Linux first” machine I’ve ever bought. All of my other systems I either built from scratch, a mish-mash of secondhand parts and purchased upgrades, or have been provided with through work.
