Hey I’m sure you mean well but maybe contact the person directly rather than diagnosing them in public which could be counter productive. Again I’m sure you mean well.

A native macOS app that uses local LLMs for writing in any application, think ehanced autocomplete / tab completion etc... 100% local and no Electron.

Nice project, any plans to make it work with local LLMs rather than "open"AI?

This seems like a sensible step in the right direction IMO, (optional) features such as local, privacy respecting LLMs will help to augment peoples online research, bookmarking, contextual search etc.... It's important that we have Fir

+1 r/localllama, 23GB should allow you to run 30b~ models, but honestly some of the new smaller models such as Mistral & friends (Zephyr etc..) are really interesting. You could also Give Mixtral a try if you get a low quant format

As someone else said you don't need to train any models, also - small LLMs (7b~) can run really well even on a base M1 Macbook air from 3 years ago.

Mistral and its hybrids are a lot better than GPT3.5, and while not as good as GPT4 in general tasks - they’re extremely fast and powerful with specific tasks. In the time it takes GPT4 to apologise that it’s not allowed to do something I c

Really neat little project! It’d be really cool to see a demo of this using only self-hostable components (e.g. ollama, whisper, llava vision)

Yeah absolutely true. I’ve seen some Samsung brand TVs do a really bad job of it (also their colours are terribly over saturated by default), where I’ve found the LGs do a good job (at least the c and g series).

Sorry I was conflating juddering and tearing, I meant juddering.

Oh sorry you mean it’s blurry and smeary at 24 fps in the cinema! Yes I agree. Sorry I thought you meant that higher frame rates looks blurry.

24/30fps looks dreadfully unnatural and distracting to many people though. It’s almost painful to watch on larger screen sizes.

The motion of an object isn’t the same as the frame rate though. You can have a 60fps scene where an object is moving fast on one side of the screen and slow on the other. It only means that for a given object travelling from A to B - it wi

If it’s blurry or smeary then your TV / source is doing it very wrong or just can’t keep up or is too low resolution / lacks quality upscaling.

Very common for video footage lower than 40FPS. It doesn’t matter what the source is (AppleTV, laptop with HDMI, nvidia shield, PS5) - this is very noticeable to a large chunk of the population.

It’s interesting to think how different our visual systems must be right? I’m always saying to friends “how can you watch this? It’s so choppy!” And some of them agree and others don’t see it at all. Biology is weird so I say just give peop

For me it’s the absolute most important setting to enable on any TV. Without it I really notice the tearing / juddering effect that footage <40fps has.

I get it too. I visually see tearing / juddering on most video lower than about 40FPS and it’s incredibly tiring.

Motion interpolation is an absolute essential for me. I can’t stand how choppy TVs (even high end models) are without them. 30fps videos look very jarring to me, I almost always notice “tearing” or “shuddering” - even when in a cinema. Enab

Looks like it has a lot of potential. Does it integrate with Ollama or does it run its own model server?
