"Who uses versioning numbers like that?"
Some coders obsessed with math, among others: Linux kernel: 2.4.0 (1999), Apache HTTP Server: 1.3.34 (2002) etc.
"I've never think about LLMs providers like a cloud provider. I can jump providers whenever I want. I jumped from OpenAI to Anthropic to Open router. Given the parity of tooling and quality of SOTA models I fail to see where the vendor lock is."
You didn't really read the article. You may jump but not your data, not the price and not the dependency. So yes they are a provider and a cloud, while with HugstonOne, the user becomes the provider.
And for the rest, I see you are very curious and have many questions. Maybe you can try the app, I am sure it will satisfy all your questions in an excellent manner.
Certainly I seem to have poor skill of writing an article, contrary to writing code.
Of course I use my app to revise, suggest and correct grammar, that´s why I created HugtsonOne, to help me optimize time.
So yes the article has some patches of LLM.
So funny you mention it cause I was on vacations in Spain few weeks ago. They are the definition of "I will avoid AI at all costs". It seems we are living in 2 parallel universes. All the Spanish I met don´t know, don´t use and don´t care about AI.
I have been so busy but Linux version is coming soon, it is very time demanding.
And eventually I have to upgrade to a desktop PC for better performance.
But we were promised that AI will make our life better.
A lot of Software engineers find themself in the layoffs, so do suddenly some 30 years old experienced programmers.
The point is that the education system is outdated and youngsters are still trapped loosing time studying some futile programs only to find out that they are graduated in matters that AI can execute in seconds.
I am honest, I don't know how your app works, speaking privacy. I can´t even try it. You are free (like literally free) to try mine. How do users of mac/ios own their data is unknown to me. I didn't want to make a point on that as I have already big techs against, and didn't want to hijack the session further.
Now for real, I wish to meet more people like you, I admire your professional way of arguing, and I really wish you all the best :)
I am not here to teach cybersecurity Tcp/ip protocols or ML. HTTP = HyperText Transfer Protocol
The standard protocol for transferring data over the web. CLI = Command-Line Interface. Try again after endless nights of informatic work please.
With all respect you do seem to not understand much of how privacy works. Llama-server is working in Http. And yes the app is a bit heavy as is loading llm models using llama.cpp cli and multimodal which in itself are quite heavy, also just the dlls for cpu/gpu are huge, (just the one for the nvidial gpu is 500mb if I don't go wrong).
This is from webui website docs: Once saved, Open WebUI will begin using your local Llama.cpp server as a backend!
So you see Llama server not CLI. That´s a big flag there. I repeat no app in the whole world takes seriously privacy like HugstonOne. This is not advertisement, I am just making a point.
The app has a licence well visible when you install the app. The rest is written in the website and in github. Then about: requires an activation code to use, ofc it is made for ethical research purposes, so yes I am distributing it responsibly. And you can see the videos in the youtube channel for how it works. But the most important point is that you can try it easily with a firewall to see that it do not leak bytes like all the rest there. That´s what i call privacy, It has a button that cut all connection. You can say what you want but that´s it that´s all.
Great job, already start using it and looking good. Crawl the f..k out of internet same way all the big techs are doing, at least what´s European stays in EU. The ethics should apply to all equally. Thank you and Viva la France.
They did the same to me. If it goes against their interest, you´re out, for whatever excuse. Their platform their rules. I am turning to European, Indian and Asian market. Don´t despair, go on, you don´t need them as much as they need you.
Edit: HugstonOne my app.
I don´t know who you are, but god bless you. I speak in my name and of every other European that understands how vital this is, for us and for our children. We need to make some noise, and show to our ELECTED LEADERS how democracy and prosperity looks like.
You said it in a proper statement: The EU can be shut down instantly.
I mean is it possible that a leader don´t know how to collect taxes, come on, the AI will generate trillions for decades to come, so grab that concept and close the black hole.
Yeah but not opensource. The community is pissed off about it, Openai should contribute back to the community. Reddit blow up with angry users about the delays and missed promises of Openai release models. The fact they thay are affraid to be humiliated from the competition like "llama4 did" is not an excuse, in fact should be the motivation.
I just hope Mistral find a really cold place (in the alps) for their servers so the GPU will not melt, cause I can foresee 500 million users in the next 2 years. Coding plans of 20/30 euro/month will attract users worldwide and raise the progress in competitivity/innovation of EU, as nr 1 in the world. Now time to invest not to be greedy. And step up the Dutch for the chip production.
France is the only country that understands the future implications of being asleep on the AI matter. ESM (European Stability Mechanism) need to add young blood in the round table, or you/we will be irrelevant and obsolete soon.
Not long ago I created an app for fast and private inference. Was easy to create the version 0.1 but so hard to continue developing the next. Now I can proudly call it upgraded because:
1 Good coding setup with Sessions as mother and tabs as children, with persistence memory in local storage.
2 Supports image to text or vision uploads (great for, create code to build a website like this image). MMproj support.
3 Preview mode, see what your code does right away.
4 Privacy friendly, your project stays private until you decide to share it.
5 GUI friendly, choose LLM, load and voila.
6 Terminal for better understanding.
7 GPU Nvidia and some more, and CPU support.
No data collection and free.
I set a 1 time password for fun that is Welcome to Hugston
Any suggestion on how to optimize the memory for 100k code lines?
You can be specific instead of being dense, don´t be shy. What I mean that when, raised and born, locally educated students apply for grants/funds, they are denied. It seems that the same system that educated them is not good enough, leading to headnews like above. If you want competition, create one, or don´t get surprised. Hope this doesn´t make me a moron or a racist, I am just stating facts and expressing my opinion.
