I think I found my jam! AnythingLLM self-hostable

Are there any AI apps that will index markdown documents with a vector DB, then allow you to run natural language queries using some kind of RAG approach with a local LLM?

Closest I’ve found is LlamaIndex, but this is still more of a ‘foundation’ than a turn-key solution and right now I’m too time-poor to do the assembly required…

I realise I’m describing close-to-frontier tech, but is there anything more turn-key (Dockerised) out there yet?

My use-case is pretty ‘vanilla’ in this space: Having a knowledge base and wanting quick answers to questions like “How should screen X behave if I am not a registered user?”.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Also if it really mattered I’m sure the UK could work out how to do much if the required maintenance themselves. It’s not exotic tech at this point.

Doesn’t really follow…

To say nothing of the wider hypothetical conflict, wouldn’t the US bases themselves be trivial to overrun by UK land forces?

They’re air bases and not fortified from attack by the host country. If anything the easy opportunity to disable their aircraft while getting our hands on any undamaged kit could present a minor tactical advantage.

For this reason they’d surely vacate before turning nasty.

Am I missing something?

$14 USD/mo… Ironically

I’ve been an enthusiastic adopter of Generative AI in my coding work; and know that Claude 3.7 is the greatest coding model out there right now (at least for my niche).

That said, at some point you have to choose principles over convenience; so I’ve cancelled all my US Tech service accounts - now exclusively using ‘Le Chat Pro’ (+ sometimes local LLM’s).

Honestly, it’s not quite as good, but it’s not half bad either, and it is very very fast thanks to some nifty hardware acceleration that the others lack.

I still get my work done, and sleep better at night.

The more subscriptions Mistral get, the more they’re able to compete with the US offerings.

Anyone can do this.

Trash post.

To be clear, you are criticising Sabine for saying there should be no research grants for women? If so, you perhaps misinterpret her meaning?

If I know Sabine at all from her videos, she would have meant that in an equal world, grants aimed specifically at either sex should not be necessary.

That’s quite different from a “raise the drawbridge” stance - but I’m a casual viewer, so please be kind while putting me right, if warranted.

You’re too generous 😅

Interesting you say that. I loved District 9 then the next thing I saw from him was ‘Oats Studios’ shorts; which turned me right off the guy.

Billed as post apocalyptic stories; it sounded entertaining but what I saw was strong shock/gore/horror stuff which just seemed to go for straight up nastiness with no decent story, message or social commentary that I could discern. Juvenile writing paired with horrible imagery for the sake of it.

Not for me, and I’m not sure who it would be for really. Black Mirror has a cerebral quality but Oats was simply depressing rubbish.

I don’t think I’ll watch another thing by him. Really disappointing since District 9 was fantastic.
