Looks like a Chromium-specific feature: https://web.dev/articles/text-fragments Pretty cool. Doesn't work on Firefox.

It just worked on Safari on iOS. That’s pretty impressive.

https://caniuse.com/url-scroll-to-text-fragment -- yes Safari supports it

Sadly I can't try this because I'm on Windows or Linux. Was testing apps like this if anyone is interested: Best / Easy to use: - https://lmstudio.ai - https://msty.app - https://jan.ai More complex / Unpolished UI: - https://gpt4all.io - https://pinokio.computer - https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/ai-on-rtx/chat-with-rtx-generat... - https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp Misc: - https://faraday.dev (AI Characters): No U…

I am the author of Msty app mentioned here. So humbled to see an app that is just about a month old that I mostly wrote for my wife and some friends to begin with (who got overwhelmed with everything that was going in LLM world), on the top of your list. Thank you!

Looks interesting, but can't see what it is doing. Any link to the source code?

Do any of these let you dump in a bunch of your own documents to use as a corpus and then query and summarize them ?

Open-WebUI has support for doing that, it works using #tags for each document so you can ask questions about multiple specific documents.

Looks great! Does it support different sized models, i.e. can I run llama 70B and 7B, and is there a way to specify which model to chat with? Are there plans to allow users to ingest their own models through this UI?

If you have a gguf file you can link it. For ingesting new models - I'm thinking about adding some CRUD UIs to it, but I'd like to keep a very small set of default models.

thanks, its a great project

If you need help for testing the Linux version let me know, I’d be happy to help

Maybe this isn't for everyone, just the people who place a high value on privacy.

If your ultimate goal is privacy, then you should only be looking at open source chat UI front ends: https://github.com/mckaywrigley/chatbot-ui https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI And then connecting them to off-line models servers: - Ollama - llama.cpp And you should avoid closed source frontends: - Recurse - LM Studio And closed source models - ChatGPT - Gemini

Are you implying Claude is an open source model?

Try this one: https://uneven-macaw-bef2.hiku.app/app/

It loads the LLM in the browser, using webgpu, so it works offline after the first load, it's also PWA you can install. It should work on chrome > 113 on desktop and chrome > 121 on mobile.

lmstudio is using a dark pattern I really hate. Don't have a Github logo in your webpage if your software is not source available. It just takes to Github to some random config repos they have. This is poor choice in my opinion.
