    Im curious to see what sorts of recommended minimum specs there will be for these features. It is my understanding that these sorts of models require a non negligible amount of horsepower to run in a timely manner.

    At the moment I am running Nextcloud on some raspberry pis and, my gut tells me I might need a bit more oomph than that to handle this sort of real time AI prompting >_>;

      the AI that nextcloud is offering uses openAI, sign up get a api key and add it. Your ai requests goto the cloud. (and i couldnt get it to work, constant " too many request" or a straight “failed”)

      The other option is the addon " local llm", you download a cutdown llm like llama2 or falcon and it runs locally. I did get thoes all installed, but it didnt work for general prompts.

      Nextcloud will probably fix things over time, and the developer who made the local llm plugin will to, but right now this isnt very useful to selfhosters.

          I just asked it to write an assembly program for the Intel 8008 uprocessor, and it just knocked it out! That’s not bad for a chip that was released in 1972 !

      Yeah, I’m wondering the same and also figure the requirements will be pretty significant. Still, pretty happy with things like this and Home Assistant’s recent work on local voice assistants.

    I’m glad they’re taking AI seriously. I feel the world of commercial services and free software have been diverging for some time. With the former being extended with lots of recommendation algorithms, AI features, smart assistants and machine learning shenanigans. And free software not so much.

    While I like my free software without recommendation algorithms that cater for advertisers and confine me in a filter bubble, I like the ML and AI stuff to be available in free software as well. Like a voice assistant, AI that helps with organizing stuff, querying documents, transcribing voice messages… This is all very useful.

    I’d like some of the machine learning stuff to be adopted in other free software projects as well. For example GIMP adopting the current AI helpers. And tight integration of text to speech and speech to text into the desktop environments and available in the package manager of my desktop linux install.

    Hey! This is Bob, your friendly NC AI assistant. I noticed all your dick pics had very small dicks so I’ve increased the length to a more respectable 8.5" and requested assistance from your 7 female contacts about girth size. User "your mother " preferred the 1.5 size but was ok with 400% increase “if that’s what you’re into”. You agreed to show your privates in private with user “Neighbor” tonight at 7:30. He suggested silicone lube. All images are uploaded and available for your review on your Facebook timeline. Let me know if I should increase the size or if the color is off. User “Coworker” complained about the color and will be discussing it with your manager and you tomorrow first thing.

    How may I be of assistance today?
