Install Alpaca on Linux | Flathub

Chat with local AI models

I’m not a huge fan of AI, but I do use it occasionally. I found a tool on Flathub that I’ve been trying out, so I thought i would share it if any for you need something like it. The interface is also pretty nice if you use Gnome(it don’t look so nice KDE). Its unstable on my arch install

    I have used Alpaca in the past, but personally I prefer GPT4ALL as it seems to be more complete.

      Any particular reason you prefer GPT4ALL?

        Way more models available, faster in my experience, more reliable, local ChatGPT compatible api and advanced fine tuning features. There have been some additions to Alpaca since I last used it, so maybe I will try it again soon but since I don’t use it regularly I use GPT4ALL because it just works, and when I tried Alpaca didn’t.

          I’d say alpaca is pretty much identical these days, the only major difference is the interface. If you need more power running something like Open WebUI with Ollama makes more sense.

        But lmstudio isn’t FOSS no?
