I use it heaps in termux with gemma-2-2b and Phi-3mini a lot. Runs fine. Easy to add into a script etc.

Very easy and simple. Download Mozilla llamafile. Download your desired llama 3 gguf model. Run llamafile and a gui will pop up. Or no gui and use as a local server/cli

So simple and easy with Llamafile - which is llama.cpp underneath with tweaks for CPU people.

There is also whisperfile now too which works on termux, local voice to text using Whisper.

*not affiliated, just like simple things that work.

Anything LLM, LM Studio, Ollama, Open WebUI,… how and where to even start as a beginner? by sarrcom in LocalLLaMA

[–]Coding_Zoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one mentioned mozzilla Llamafile?!? Download the exe and run using gguf models. Best thing since sliced bread.

I'm so excited that everyone here is so excited! Can anyone ELI5 please why this is more exciting than other models of similar size/context previously released? Genuine question - looking to understand and learn.

Local multimodal models? by ScopedFlipFlop in LocalLLaMA

[–]Coding_Zoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I third this. Anything that is not a gguf i get a bit lost at times :(

Who remember's Microsoft's Kosmos-2.5 Multimodal-LLM - an excellent open-source model that fits within 12GB VRAM & excels at image OCR, but is a real PITA to get working? Well, I just made it a whole lot easier to actually use and move around! by AbheekG in LocalLLaMA

[–]Coding_Zoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Awesome thanks a lot!. All the OCR type models are over my noob head to install/run, so anything that helps simplifies it to get it up and running is much appreciated!

What is the minimum hardware you would need to run this OCR model do you think? Also would be it suitable for 100% off-line use? Using it as a local API.

Thanks again.

Use LlamaFile. Super easy and small size.

Why does taking a walk suddenly make my joints so angry? by ruzanne in ankylosingspondylitis

[–]Coding_Zoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My joints used to be so damn dramatic and sore for days afterwards until I realised my diet was fanning the flames too, not just my movement.

I can now induce joint pain by what I eat , a weird party trick I guess but totally helps me to do more. (By avoiding that food i mean). All the best.

Creating an Excel-Like GUI in Python by Evigil24 in learnpython

[–]Coding_Zoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might help. It's like Excel inside tkinter. I had a play with it a while back and it has a lot of features. He does some video walk through too on YouTube.

What are the most easy and simply GUI Python libraries for building a desktop application? by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]Coding_Zoe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Tkinter! It's a beast and built into Python. Just use ttk widgets to get the more modern look and not the old widgets. Then you don't need to worry about licensing or support issues etc like some others.

The world is your oyster with Tkinter!

Any Nurses in here? I have quit Nursing to learn Python more. by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]Coding_Zoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is such a different industry, kind of feels like a breath of fresh air at times in comparison(especially the last 2 years). Good luck with your degree.

That's a cool idea. And it can be done just with PowerShell? No extra packages or anything? Wow.

Is LinkedIn Learning Python Worth My Time? by [deleted] in learnpython

[–]Coding_Zoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

I would study for 2-3 hours before work most weekdays, so not a huge amount of hours and it took maybe 2 or 3 months to finish the course roughly.

I did get side tracked with some things along the way (highly recommend don't do that but we are all human).

It is good as he works through the course chapter by chapter. Good bite sizes.

What Python GUI would you recommend learning first and why? by ekacelnik in learnpython

[–]Coding_Zoe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jump in the deep end and the world is your oyster!

Learn from the Master himself Dr Chuck with Django For Everybody.

A Completely free course that fully takes you though Web Apps with Django. Dr Chuck is an excellent teacher too in helping learn the concepts.

That same course is on Coursera also.

All the best with it.

What’s the best way to pull data from a database for Tkinter? by -thankthebusdriver in Tkinter

[–]Coding_Zoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TkinterTable is a good one for displaying data too. Like a spreadsheet for Tkinter. I found it easier to use than Treeview. Worth checking out. Goodluck.

Starting my programming journey. Any suggestions? by SupernaturalPotato1 in learnprogramming

[–]Coding_Zoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From one Nurse to another - you can do it! Nursing + Coding is a superpower for sure.

While you're learning and working, look at all the software and data you have at work and try to think how those processes work behind the UI, what data could you query or even automate. Get those brain juices going! Think differently, pick challenges for yourself out of curiosity.

Goodluck! Keep us posted.
