Anyone messed with local cli LLMs? (sh.itjust.works)

Let me preface by saying I despise corpo llm use and slop creation. I hate it.

However, it does seem like it could be an interesting helpful tool if ran locally in the cli. I've seen quite a few people doing this. Again, it personally makes me feel like a lazy asshole when I use it, but its not much different from web searching commands every minute (other than that the data used in training it is obtained by pure theft).

Have any of you tried this out?

Sure have. LLMs aren't intrinsically bad, they're just overhyped and used to scam people who don't understand the technology. Not unlike blockchains. But they are quite useful for doing natural language querying of large bodies of text. I've been playing around with RAG trying to get a model tuned to a specific corpus (e.g. the complete works of William Shakespeare, or the US Code of Laws) to see if it can answer conceptual questions like "where are all the instances where a character dies offstage?" or "can you list all the times where someone is implicitly or explicitly called a cuckold?" And sure they get stuff wrong but it's pretty cool that they work as well as they do.
