Im trying to figure out how online search funkcion works.. Didnt have much luck for now.
And also general discusion about the app would be wery helpfull for eweryone.
This will probably help anyone unfamiliar with it, since the first search result for Alpaca AI is another online paid AI service which does something entirely different than this. It's used for AI image generation.
The main question I have is since Ollama is optional... If you optionally use it, is it still sharing data with Facebook Meta?
Didnt know that ollama is sharing data with facebook.. Why would it do something like that? Wouldnt that be oposite of what it was created for and that is privacy..
Where did you get that info?
It looked like from comments that's why he made the Ollama integration optional, because some people were concerned since Ollama was built by Meta. It can run without Ollama, it seems.
EDIT: Doing more research on Ollama itself, I'm unconvinced that it's sharing any data, despite being built by Meta.
I am not certain what you mean by online search function. It can connect to the internet but it doesn't exactly function like a search engine from what I can understand.
Second opcion looks like exactly that..
This is offtopic, but I switched from Alpaca to duck.ai. I try not to use AI too often and even though I like the idea to run it locally, duck.ai is way easier to use.
I use it also some times but that is online ai and everything you use it for goes to someones servers so its not private. Alpaca is using ollama to run ai localy on your machine so everything you use it for is private. So those two are completly diferent and are not for comparing which one is easier to use because ease of use is not the point here. Privacy is.
I used alpaca but they made some changes recently that made it confusing and a pain to use. I deleted it after that as i dont use ai much anyway.
Taking advantage of the fact that this thread became popular, question to all of you guys: do you recommend some other open source LLM front ends?
LM Studio is by far my favorite. Supports all GPUs out of the box on Linux and has tons of options.
