I absolutely hate people naming their program with a word that existed before. At least call it Allpaca ffs. How should I search for errors or stuff in general?

especially considering KDE already has an application with almost exactly the same name for the same purpose invent.kde.org/utilities/alpaka

Wait until someone screams ‘AI will help’.

elxeno@lemm.ee on 18 May 2024 02:03 next collapse

Could have named it AIpaca.

The horrors of typing in your prospective project name in a search engine

Is it better than Ollama and if so how?

leopold@lemmy.kde.social on 17 May 2024 19:53 collapse

it’s a frontend for ollama. so no, because under the hood it is ollama.

utopiah@lemmy.ml on 19 May 2024 18:08 collapse

thanks for the clarification, so arguably then it’s a better interface for user who are not familiar with the CLI

Looks nice! Is this yours (OP)? If so, are you aware of Bavarder? It seems to have quite some features. (But it is unmaintained and broken right now so Alpaca is a welcome replacement.)

joojmachine@lemmy.ml on 18 May 2024 12:15 collapse

Nope, I’m not the developer, I just found it really interesting and decided to share

This is what I needed. I will run this locally and run ollama in a VM.

Although podman and Distrobox look tempting.
