I keep a lot of notes, all my thoughts feelings both happy and sad, things I’ve done, etc. in obsidian. These are deeply personal and I don’t want this going to a cloud provider even if they “say” they don’t train on my chats. I forget a lot of things so I feed these into chromeDB and then use a LLM to chat with all my notes. I’ve started using abliterated models which have their refusal removed [0] Other use case is for work. I work with financial data and I have created an mcp that automates some of my job. Running model locally allows me to not worry about the information I feed it. [0] https://github.com/Sumandora/remove-refusals-with-transforme...
