Released an alpha version of the Chat X application, which allows you to run an AI chatbot based on a generative large language model (LLM) locally on your PC.
Features:
- Create summaries and relevant answers based on videos (YouTube) and text documents (PDF).
- Search by video transcript: the chatbot can find the desired fragments in the video in seconds.
- Quickly extract key information from PDF files, which can be useful, for example, when working with legal documents.
- Lag-free operation: Unlike cloud chatbots, Chat X runs on your computer, providing instant response.
How it works:
- When you install Chat X on your PC, a web server and a Python instance are installed that uses the LLM Mistral or Llama 2.
- Tensor cores are used to accelerate request processing.
- The user accesses the chatbot through a web interface.
Limitations:
- Early stage of development: the chatbot may be unstable and buggy.
- Does not remember context: each new request is processed independently of the previous ones.
- Not suitable for large amounts of data: attempting to index more than 25,000 documents may result in failure.
Prospects:
Chat X is an interesting project that demonstrates the potential of local AI chatbots. It can be useful for those who do not want to use cloud services to process their personal data.
Important:
- The current version of Chat X is intended for developers and enthusiasts.
- The application requires a powerful X graphics card to run.
