Join me for a full day workshop at @gopherconuk on Practical AI and how you can integrate AI/LLMs in your #golang applications.

It draws on my experience of working at the forefront of AI development for the past few years.

Looking forward to share all of this with you!

For now, if you want faster AI agent responses on _your_ machine, you need to give Kronk and the integrated Model Playground a spin.

It is extremely configurable.
Send your feedback!

[Florin Pățan @dlsniper]

I created the Model Playground in Kronk, https://t.co/JeAfDbwWJ6, because nothing I could find so far allowed me to optimize llama.cpp for _my_ hardware.

Tokens / s mean nothing when your context window can take up to 3x times more minutes to fill than it needs to.

[Florin Pățan @dlsniper]

It uses proper request/replies with multiple turns ensure accurate numbers are generated.

Yes, you'll spend a lot of time doing the initial run. Maybe I'll optimize that in future versions.

@TrueNAS I'm on TrueNAS-SCALE-22.02.4 but I cannot see the Bluefin train or a way to toggle it right now.
Any ideas?
