<h3>Last Time</h3>
In one of my previous posts, I mentioned my AI system: <a href='https://blog.thekyel.com/archimedes.html'>Archimedes</a><br>
I've been having a lot of fun with him, and I've built some cool tooling around<br>
him, but it was time for me to move on to better interfaces, so I set up<br>
<a href='https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui'>Oobabooga's Text Generation Webui</a>
<br>
<br>
<h3>The New Shiney</h3>
It's a bit more bloated, but also a lot more featureful. Eventually I want to <br>
get to building my own model, start doing RAG and other fun things, and this <br>
will help quite a bit. But that's all long-term thinking.<br>
<br>
Oobabooga has been cool to be able to load models more dynamically, and play <br>
with extensions. I've still got a lot to learn about LLM stuff, and this <br>
provides a fun way to browse around and explore what is available as I learn.<br>
<br>
One thing I like is that I can build in a "character", which makes the AI more<br>
personable. I want something that I can call out by name, but wont get confused<br>
with other words I frequently use. More on voice-activated systems to come |;)<br>
<br>
But for now, here's a screenshot of Archy at work via Oobabooga:<br>
