Projects Local Llama

Local Llama

Llama compiled to run locally with document processing layered on top, so it reads through files and writes scripts with no internet connection.

When
May 2023 - Present
Built with
Local LLMs, Python

Problem

Plenty of day-to-day engineering work involves documents that should not leave the machine, and the tooling for it usually assumes an API call to somebody else.

Approach

Compiled Llama locally and layered document processing over it, so it can read through a set of documents and write the scripts that speed up the repetitive parts of a task.

Outcome

A document and scripting assistant that runs entirely offline.
