Ask HN: How are you using LLMs in your personal projects today?

2 pointsby angelmmover 1 year ago
I started working with AI &#x2F; LLMs recently, and now I&#x27;m learning about the ecosystem. The possibilities seems unlimited and I know many use cases for big companies. However, I&#x27;m curious to learn about what people are hacking with LLMs on a personal side.<p>What are you building? What are you solving with LLMs? How do you run them? How do you integrate them in your app &#x2F; service?

I am mostly running local models using Ollama on a 32G on chip memory Mac Mini. This morning I am experimenting with function calling. Yesterday was a RAG app with a simple web UI.<p>Historically I have worked in NLP, and LLMs have made many older techniques obsolete, and that has been fun.<p>I have also been using OpenAI APIs for about 2 years and now I also experiment with Anthropic’s Claude 2 and Google Bard. Nothing important, I just want to have a solid intuition on what different commercial models can do.
