👖 PocketPal — мобильный ИИ-ассистент с открытым исходным кодом, запускающий маленькие языковые модели (SLMs) локально на вашем устройстве. Взаимодействуйте с моделями приватно без подключения к интернету и отправки данных на внешние серверы.

При первом запуске нужно скачать модель: сделать это можно прямо в приложении. Они весят около 1–3 ГБ и требуют соответствующих мощностей телефона. Но всё же не стоит ожидать такого же качества вывода как в больших языковых моделях.

Функции и возможности:

  • Автоматическая выгрузка и загрузка моделей при сворачивании приложения.
  • Настройка моделей: системный промпт, температура, шаблоны чатов.
  • Создание персонажей (Pals) для ассистирования (Assistant) или отыгрывания ролей (Roleplay).
  • Инструмент измерения производительности (Benchmark).

📥 Скачать PocketPal для Android или iOS

Here's why I enjoy using #Bruno 🐶:
- It's #opensource and #free for everyone
- The logo is just taken from #OpenMoji
- Designed with #collaboration in mind
- The .bru files are easy to track with #Git
- The team has a #vision and #Manifesto
- It's #offline only, no cloud-based sync, your data stays #private
- Fast, lightweight, and made for #developers

Postman's calves may be worried 😉

Hello, friends. I've been known as "Newfangled" on Twitch and just did a re-brand of my channel. It's now called "Positive Notes" which is the name of both the channel and the show.

I'm no longer calling myself "Newfangled", but using my first given name (Dallin) as the host of my new show. So I figured I'd stop using my Newfangled account over on Universeodon and start using this account that I've had for a while but never used much.

I have been using Mastodon for years across various servers and accounts and really enjoy it. It's how social media is supposed to be. The #fediverse is amazing.

I love #music. Listening, playing musical instruments, and sharing. On my #Twitch program I share good music from my collection and good messages and stories to bring a little joy into people's lives.

I am also interested in #technology, #retro things, and #reading.

Lately I have been renewing my interest in #DigitalMinimalism and #offline things.

I am a #Christian, a disciple of Jesus Christ. I try (I fail, but I try) to emulate him - the perfect example of love, kindness, and charity.

I am interested in #nonviolence and #peacebuilding.

Fred Rogers is a personal hero and role model of mine.

@TheComfortableSpotPodcast very thought provoking. I think one of the causes you don’t mention is the loss of third spaces. We gather online rather than in person these days. In doing so, we say more as individuals but hear less and become uncomfortable interacting face to face with one another on any level. We distrust one another when we gather in person because our online experiences have taught us that the way to react to anything we disagree with is rage and blocking or doxxing. Frankly, we all need more IRL friends and to hang out with them without our devices. We need to be people to one another and for one another, not just avatars and user names. And we need to be visible and approachable by others. Reversing this trend of isolation and virtualization is going to take time, patience, and effort on all our parts.
