Can you speak more to this? I get useful output from LLMs all the time, but never use system prompts. What am I missing?
Sure, I use one system prompt template to make ChatGPT be more concise. Compare these two: https://sharegpt.com/c/fEZKMIy vs https://sharegpt.com/c/S2lyYON I use similar ones to get ChatGPT to be more thorough or diligent as well. From my limited experience with local models, this type of system prompting is even more important than with ChatGPT 4.

#123This is awesome. I currently use Ollama with OpenWebUI but am a big fan of native apps so this is right up my alley.

#124There is a demo clip with a vertical scroll bar which does not fade out as it would do in a native mac app:)

Since I couldn't find it in your list, I'd like to plug my own macOS (and iOS) app: Private LLM. Unlike almost every other app in the space, it isn't based on llama.cpp (we use mlc-llm) or naive RTN quantized models (we use OmniQuant). Also, the app has deep integrations with macOS and iOS (Shortcuts, Siri, macOS Services, etc). Incidentally, it currently runs Mixtral 8x7B Instruct[2] and Mistral[3] models faster tha…
What's the performance like in tokens/s?

Yes it would be the next big focus on this. Personal data connectivity is what I see where local AI would excel - despite model power differences.
I have doubts about that. Most personal data actually lives in the cloud these days. If you need your Gmail emails, you'll need to use their API which is guarded behind $50k certification fee or so. I think there is a simpler version for personal use, but you still need to get the API key. Who's going to teach their mom about API keys? So I think for a lot of these data sources you'll end up with enterprise AIs integ…

I think this is a good take. While there's big enough niche for personal data locally, I'd love if there's a way to solve for email/cloud data requiring API keys.
