GPT4All VS FauxPilot

I run one. I built an iMessage-like frontend to it using plain JS and a Python websocket backend. I mostly just use it for curiosity and playing with different prompts. I only have 16GB of RAM to dedicate to it, so I use an 8B parameter model which is enough for fun and chitchat, but I don't find it good enough to replace ChatGPT. https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

You can run the likes of GPT4All now, you can even use it to query local factual documents and source material, rather than make stuff up: https://github.com/nomic-ai/gpt4all. Source: 9 months ago

For what it's worth, I haven't tried them yet, but there are also open-source large-language models and text-to-speech models. Source: 10 months ago

Neat! I've been working on Khoj, which does something analogous. Khoj works best with natural language documents, so it's good with documentation (i.e., READMEs), not so much with code. First I've heard of GPT4All; this is super awesome. Source: 10 months ago

There is, but there’s not nearly enough of them. Check out Fauxpilot https://github.com/fauxpilot/fauxpilot. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

You can try FauxPilot powered by an LLM model such as StarCoder but don't expect the same output quality as Copilot, plus it's less convenient to setup and use on a daily basis. Source: 11 months ago

I have just installed Fauxpilot <https://github.com/fauxpilot/fauxpilot> (nVidia GPU-only) and it works... OK. Still evaluating and I'm basically sceptic on the whole concept, but... let's see. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
