How does it compare to Jan AI for example? or LM Studio? or ????

#112Given how the blog is presented, I assumed this was something novel that solved a unique problem, maybe a local multi-modal assistant for your device. I installed it and it's none of that.

Local LLM options for less technical people is worth celebrating IMO. No, not "anybody" can have one-shotted this in CC in an hour. We have not seen a tidal wave of untechnical people vibe coding up their own software solutions.

When my little brother who is a drummer, and has never even looked at "code" before, had claude on-shot a python app that let him download songs on youtube, extract the stems, collect tempo/key/etc information, then feed that into his DAW, all without ever looking at code, knowing what any of it did, etc., I knew that we were about to see a LOT of single-use applications.
I'm not against it, honestly. I have always written little one-off scripts and apps that accomplished something faster than manually, now that those one-shots are possible with an LLM in seconds sometimes, it makes all my personal scripts so much easier... that said, I definitely read the scripts that are output, and attempt to step through them in a debugger before assuming it is all good.

edit: nevermind I misread a word and made a social faux pas
I do agree that more local LLM options are always better.

I hate to say it, but this looks like the sort of thing a CEO told their team to build on Monday morning in a panic because they are grasping for ways to participate in the AI craze. And the team did just that: they built it that morning using Claude Code. There is truly nothing original here and the product doesn't have a chance in hell of earning money. Local LLMs on-device will be dominated by the device vendors,…
Wanted to share a message here with the CEO not to feel too bad because little is more common than getting caught by this tech
But where are they! https://ente.com/about
Small team, rooting for them

It’s a platform play so they can get people onto their defunct photos platform. “Big Tech” in a little suit.
All about immich now right?

#117There's dozens of local inference apps that basically wrap llama.cpp and someone else's GGUFs. The decentralized sync history part seems new? Not much else. But the advertisement copy is so insufferably annoying in how it presents this wrapper as a product. Have a comparison chart to Ollama, LMStudio, LocalAI, Exo, Jan.AI, GPT4ALL, PocketPal, etc.
oMLX is worth a look too if you are on a mac.

What do you when you say defunct photos platform?

How is Ente Photos defunct? It's getting new features all the time and it works extremely well for me.
