From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Taking advantage of the fact that this thread became popular, question to all of you guys: do you recommend some other open source LLM front ends?

[–] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

LM Studio is by far my favorite. Supports all GPUs out of the box on Linux and has tons of options.

[–] vala@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

LM studio is not open source at all.

Looks like you're right.

I switched to it when Alpaca stopped working on AMD GPUs and was under the impression it is open source.

Depending on how you had it installed, Alpaca split support in the Flatpaks.

If you want AMD support, you need to install com.jeffser.Alpaca.Plugins.AMD

Doesn't work for me unfortunately, always falls back to CPU ever since the packages were split up.

The engine is, the UI isn't. Easy to make the mistake.

I have made good experiences with GPT4ALL

So far i've really liked just using ollama in the terminal since it just spits out text anyway.

[–] vermaterc@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

ofc I could even send raw api requests, but sometimes it's good to have a nice GUI that "just works".

Specifically I'm looking for something that could handle not only text responses, but also attachments, speech recognition and MCP support.

[–] juipeltje@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah in that case you probably want something else. So far i've only ever used it for text based questions. I think i remember seeing that there is also a webui out there but i don't remember the name.
