3 sourcesShow HN: app for interaction with documents using local LLM (mini Chat With RTX)
Hello HN!
I wanted to share a side project of mine: a fully standalone app that uses a local LLM (specifically Mistral 7B) for document interaction using RAG. It supports a wide variety of document types and is designed to run right after installation. There are still quite a few bugs to iron out and many features I'm excited to add. Considering this is my first time working on such a project, I'm really happy with the progress and am learning a ton!
The project is open source, so I please feel free to check out my work and leave any feedback :)
