Hey ya'll, quick update about my open source llama.cpp app, FreeChat. As of this weekend it's live on the mac app store. Big thanks to this community for all the feedback and testing, would not have gotten here without ya'll. Next I'm working on the most common request I get here: a model catalog.

Have friends who aren't hackers who you think should try local AI? Send them a link! Hoping to expand local AI usage by making it dead simple.

I just want to add for those that might wonder … this will support running at least up to 7B models (e.g. some nice newer Mistral models!) on a 8GB ram 2017 i5 iMac 3.4 intel … I can get about 4.5 - 6 t/s on the old beast on the 7B model … about 7-8 t/s running the 3B orca_mini. So there’s some hope even for old machines. Thanks for making an app and running it thru the App Store process too!
