AI always reminds me of Clippy, in the 90s, the Microsoft Office was added to the infamous talk. This little man disappoints users, it was based on a faulty understanding of how people wanted to use technology, and there was a way to show you even after closing it.
This was probably unavoidable, then, to make a device for someone that combines large language models and 30 -year -old animated paperclip. That is a developer Felix RisebergWho made Windows 95-Theme Clippy App It can run a real big language model on your computer. The application is available on Windows, Mac and Linux devices, and works offline.
The clippy just looks like you remember and whatever you are working, hovering over it. He rides bicycle through several animations. Click on it to start chatting, the way you will be with another big language model. The application works offline, which means that if you really want you can chat with a clippy on a train or airplane.
To be clear: It is not intended to be a functional tool. RIESEBERG calls it an art project that he has created just because it is fun. “If you decrease in the form of a small chakli, I am happy to hear it,” Page “about the project.
Nevertheless, Clippy is probably the easiest tool that I have come to run a local language model locally on the computer. Just download the app, install it, then choose which model you want to run Windows 95 themed preferences. Default, Google’s Gamma, works well.
What do you think so far?

It is based on application AlaamaAn open source app produced by Meta makes it possible to run a variety of large language models on your own computer. The clippy provides for introducing eight separate models. Generally, the larger system resources they take to use – you can try some different people how well they work on your device. It is fun, if not completely practical. Clippy cannot reach the Internet, so you cannot get real-time information, and the reactions are not as sophisticated as you will get from a top-off-the-line AI service.
There are some other things that you can twitter in settings, including default font and what clippy should always be at the top. You can also write your own system prompt for clippy, allowing you to control his personality.
This AI-powered art project is not going to change the world, and it is not considered. It is a piece of art, like This music work Clippy inspired earlier this year.
