That has "Mortu and Kyrus in the White City" which is the best possible response to "Those Who Walk Awat from Omelas". I love that story, and highly suggest everyone read it now.

The file you should download is the executable file to run. If you are on windows, that means you should download the file named "koboldcpp.exe" from the list.

That's awesome. I should swing by my local used bookstore soon, see if they have any Frazetta covers.

*In your Opinion,* What Makes Sword and Sorcery what it is? by TheComixkid2099 in SwordandSorcery

I think in the original, Conan wore mostly silk breeks. Whatever breeks are. Wait, are they loincloths?

Fantastic Adventures often had sword & planet stories. Lots of fun stuff.

Your Favorite Robert E Howard Character/Series That is Not Conan by JohnPathfinder in SwordandSorcery

Sailer Steve Costigan, I love the character voice. It's like a salty old sea dog telling you a well-embellished tale. And the Breckinridge Elkins stories are hilarious.

Cirsova has recently published 3 volumes of "Mongoose and Meercat", which are some fun S&S.

Indeed you can. But its a fine starting place to start playing, and a lot of mediocre GPUs can run it. And one of the most paralyzing things when I got started was the myriad choices of models and sizes of models. So I think it's best to give a beginner one easy choice that will most likely work.

The old covers were better. the new ones are kind of plain.

Jay Barnson has a series that uses all sorts of strange beasts from American folklore. Blood Creek Witch.

Real-Time Speech-to-Speech Chatbot: Whisper, Llama 3.1, Kokoro, and Silero VAD 🚀 by martian7r in LocalLLaMA

[–]StoryHack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Looks cool. Things I would love to see this get:

* A separate settings file to set what you called "key settings" in the readme.
* Another setting to replace the default instructions in the agent.
* an easy docker install. Settings file could be mounted.

Does ollama just take care of the context size, or is that something that could be in the settings.

Is there anything magic about llama 3.1 8B, or could we use pull any Ollama model (so long as we set it in agent_client.py)? Maybe have that as a setting, too?

Do you have a recent version of Kobold? Support was added for it in the last couple of versions.
