It is awesome to find your series. It feels like awesome way to pinky dip your fingers in AI. I assume this will do on more or less any Linux - will try to play on Ubuntu, hope it will be with same ease. As for what would be very awesome point to explore - can JAN AI or other tool access online data and/or be provided with other documents in doc/odt/pdf formats for analysis and question in regard of them.

Thank you for this series of videos, they are very relevant to me as they align with my interests and skill set. (I’m Currently learning to code python and struggling with cryptic linux commands).
I did install Mint 22 as per your suggestion. But on bare metal with a 8GB Nvidia card.
Struggled with installing the nvidia drivers and cuda, but after much retrying (thankyou timeshift) I got it working.
However I realize you are concentrating on CPU only inference.
I followed your videos, installed all those apps. I also installed Ollama, LMStudio and ShellGPT.
From someone that struggles with cryptic linux commands in the terminal I found ShellGPT very useful.(but it uses an OpenAI API key).
Still looking for an AI assistant to help me learn Python, If there is such a thing.

You asked for suggestions, so here is my 2c worth. (I'm sure you have already thought of these).
-
How to use Coqui TTS with other apps (how to pipe output of LLM to Coqui)?
Ollama (as you mentioned).
LMStudio (or at least mention it as a alternate to Jan)
Shell-GPT (or one on the many other alternatives as listed on the Ollama pages)
Any coding assistants? (like copilot, plugins for VSCode or for other IDE’s)
-
Looking forward to more videos from you.

HI
That's amazing! Is it possible to install the coqui via portainer?

Next we need the other direction, Speech to text, and can we use API's to have a bi-directional voice interactions with a LLM? We need to tie the LLM to Coqui; then find a text to speech to go the other direction. Is there anyway to use something like a json file to setup the LLM on boot, like with a prompt and model?
