# gpt4all-chat

Cross platform Qt based GUI for GPT4All versions with GPT-J as the base
model. NOTE: The model seen in the screenshot is actually a preview of a
new training run for GPT4All based on GPT-J. The GPT4All project is busy
at work getting ready to release this model including installers for all
three major OS's. In the meantime, you can try this UI out with the original
GPT-J model by following build instructions below.

## Features

* Cross-platform (Linux, Windows, MacOSX)
* Fast CPU based inference using ggml for GPT-J based models
* The UI is made to look and feel like you've come to expect from a chatty gpt
* Check for updates so you can alway stay fresh with latest models
* Easy to install with precompiled binaries available for all three major desktop platforms

## Feature wishlist

* Multi-chat - a list of current and past chats and the ability to save/delete/export and switch between
* Text to speech - have the AI response with voice
* Speech to text - give the prompt with your voice
* Multi-modal - Ability to load more than one model and switch between them
* Python bindings
* Typescript bindings
* Plugin support for langchain other developer tools
* Save your prompt/responses to disk
* Upload prompt/respones manually/automatically to nomic.ai to aid future training runs
* Syntax highlighting support for programming languages, etc.
* REST API with a built-in webserver in the chat gui itself with a headless operation mode as well
* Advanced settings for changing temperature, topk, etc.
