I've had decent results with continue, it's similar to copilot and actually works decently with local models lately:
Yes agreed on the llama-2 models, they show a LOT of promise in the right tasks but they need some work to get back to what we remember from peak llama-1, i'm very excited for when that arrives in a week or two!
Yeah by all means! At this time I'd say text-generation-webui is my most mature and functional image, with koboldcpp being a close second but I just don't work as closely with it
lollms-webui is a very interesting upcoming platform but it's a solo dev so it's a lot of work, my docker image works as long as you don't need any personalities, but i'm working on that to see if I can get it sorted out :) for now though it's definitely worth considering it beta or maybe even alpha
Would love to keep our communities tightly knit, FOS AI and localllama both have similar ideals coming from two different angles, so keep in touch :D
Hey thanks for the detailed writeup, this is great! Probably worth including a couple of the llama 1 models just because they're more mature and ready to be used even tho licensing is awkward
Also if you'd like I maintain a few docker images for a couple tools (namely oobabooga, koboldcpp, and lollms-webui) that might be good for beginners to get their feet wet, can find them pinned at https://github.com/noneabove1182
Yeah definitely need to still understand the open source limits, they're getting pretty dam good at generating code but their comprehension isn't quite there, I think the ideal is eventually having 2 models, one that determines the problem and what the solution would be, and another that generates the code, so that things like "fix this bug" or more vague questions like "how do I start writing this app" would be more successful
