I absolutely love this and will try as many as possible very soon. I think "intelligent search" (asking LLM questions to search on the Web by communicating, preferably by voice) is one of the few solid use cases for LLM. I hate the idea of having this happen in the cloud with someone having my data, so doing this locally with my local LLM would be ideal.

- idle_zealot 2y agoYou're being downvoated, and I think the reason is this: there is a perceived difference in intentionally contributing something like a post on HN and having your personal searches be collected by Google.
- octobus2021 2y agoI would replace "perceived" with "significant" but yeah, pretty much.
- dang 2y agoPlease don't be snarky or post in the flamewar style to HN. We're trying for something else here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.
- jahewson 2y agoThe web search itself till happening on the cloud though? And instead of searching one provider it now searches multiple… not sure how much better this is really.
- abdullahkhalids 2y agoWhat would be even better, if it could also search my local repository of ebooks and pdfs. Most of the stuff I do, needs serious answers from books or papers I have already selected. Random webpages on the web don't cut it. Citing the book section/page/paragraph would be magic.
- applied_heat 2y agoI used to use qiqqa for local full text search of pdf library, I think the world has moved on to mendeley, and paperless(-ng) I believe performs the same function
- sc077y 2y agoThis is 100 percent doable. Building something like this at scale might be a pain but locally it's fairly easy.
- nilkn 2y agoEven after the release of GPT4o, Perplexity Pro with Claude 3 Opus is by far my most used LLM application. For me, the writing quality of Claude 3 combined with a wider variety of information sources makes it far surpass raw ChatGPT for most non-creative/non-interactive tasks.
- bufo 2y agoI recommend Phind.com, it’s been much better and faster for me than Perplexity Pro. I typically use their custom 70B model but you can also use GPT4 o or Turbo, or Claude 3 Opus.
