How to use

Pre-requirements:

• You have nodejs v18+ installed on your machine (or if you have Docker, you don't need to install nodejs)
• You are using Linux (Windows should also work, but I have not tested yet)

For Windows user, these is a detailed guide here: doc/windows.md

🔶 Step 1: Clone this repository to your local machine

🔶 Step 2: Download the model and binary file to run the model. You have some options:

• 👉 (Recommended) Alpaca.cpp and Alpaca-native-4bit-ggml model => This combination give me very convincing responses most of the time

  • Download chat binary file and place it under bin folder: https://github.com/antimatter15/alpaca.cpp/releases
  • Download ggml-alpaca-7b-q4.bin and place it under bin folder: https://huggingface.co/Sosaka/Alpaca-native-4bit-ggml/blob/main/ggml-alpaca-7b-q4.bin

• 👉 Alternatively, you can use gpt4all: Download gpt4all-lora-quantized.bin and gpt4all-lora-quantized-*-x86 from github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all, put them into bin folder

🔶 Step 3: Edit bin/config.js so that the executable name and the model file name are correct
(If you are using chat and ggml-alpaca-7b-q4.bin, you don't need to modify anything)

🔶 Step 4: Run these commands

npm i
npm start

Alternatively, you can just use docker compose up if you have Docker installed.

Then, open http://localhost:13000/ on your browser

TODO

• Test on Windows
• Proxy ws via nextjs
• Add Dockerfile / docker-compose
• UI: add avatar
