Your own free private chatbot? Yes, there are easy ways to run large language models ( #LLMs ) on a laptop or desktop PC locally - and you don't need high-end hardware for all of them.

Tools profiled include GPT4All, LLM by @simon and h2oGPT

Facebook parent company Meta released new versions of its free, downloadable Llama large language model (LLM) tuned specifically for coding. One is designed to write code based on natural language prompts; another is tuned specifically for Python. Each come in 3 sizes.

Are you an R/RStudio interested in trying out LangChain for generative AI apps? Here's an idea on how to do that with minimal Python, in RStudio, using R to look at code results step by step.

@fsmontenegro I probably should ask to have the headline changed on this, it's about R tools to work with the OpenAI API and GPT-3.5 model too, not just ChatGPT. My #InfoWorld article: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3694611/8-chatgpt-tools-for-r-programming.html

@rixx Maybe try Graze?
I mention it in my #InfoWorld article here (sorry, shameless self promotion 😀 ) : https://www.infoworld.com/article/3701292/6-ways-to-find-better-content-on-mastodon.html

6 tips on how you - and everyone else - can see more interesting posts on Mastodon.

For ex., did you know you're probably not seeing all public posts with hashtags when you search? There are ways to see more!

@jonthegeek I don't know if this explains it for you like you're 5 😀 but this #InfoWorld article includes a brief summary of Malloy. A few other interesting #data - focused languages in there too.

If you use RStudio to write R code but aren’t using code snippets, you may want to check them out. They can be a big timesaver!
I did a tutorial article & video a few years ago: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3396616/how-to-use-rstudio-code-snippets.html

My Mastodon posts from October 2022 to June 2023 won't be available on my profile here at masto.machlis.com, since toots from a former account don't move when you change instances. But you can still see them all at https://fosstodon.org/@smach
And, I've got a searchable database of my posts both there and here at
https://apps.machlis.com/shiny/smach_mastodon/

I wrote that app in R, explanation in my #InfoWorld tutorial: https://www.infoworld.com/article/3682077/mastodon-twitter-migration-how-to-full-text-search-your-own-mastodon-posts-with-r.html
