Hey Gang!

We've got a meeting tomorrow!!
Date/Time: June 13th 2024 @ 7pm.
Location: Technocopia, 44 Portland St, 6th floor, Worcester MA.
Virtual Location: (back to the old haunt) https://meet.jit.si/WlugMA

Considering how much AI has been in the news, I thought it would be cool to do a talk/demo about setting up your own personal Large Language Model!

I'll either use my laptop of scrounge up a piece of good enough hardware to show it off.. hell I could even spin up a droplet and run it somewhere.. we'll figure that out.

Jansen sent me some links to the cool stuff he uses and I'll definitely be leaning on his expertise and others. Here's what he wrote:

the self-hosted webui i use is here:
https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui

ollama!
https://github.com/ollama/ollama 

here's the docker for ollama:
https://hub.docker.com/r/ollama/ollama 

I've experimented with the ollama models and they're cool.

As usual we'll nerd out, wrestle with some LLM stuff and have a great time.

Afterwards we'll head off to the Boyton or somewhere else for some dinner and keep the geekery in full swing.

I'll bring some snacks and refreshments as well.

Later,
Tim.
