Goodbye Kobold, Hello Again

image

Ask Jeeves!

  • Ask Jeeves! has been revamped to no longer rely on Kobold, which was too difficult to work with and, at any rate, is not meant to be run in "headless" mode. The reliable Ctranslate2 library is now used instead.
  • Jeeves' knowledge base has also been updated.

Added Chat Model Backends

  • Kobold is added as a new backend when querying the vector database. Please note that you must be familiar with Kobold and how to use it, especially how to control the prompt formatting since this program does not handle that aspect.
  • LM Studio backend has been revamped to be compatible with newer versions. This change was a long time coming since LM Studio has undergone numerous changes that, effectively, rendered it un-usable, until now. To effectively use it you should familiarize yourself with the "server mode" of LM Studio.
  • Added ChatGPT as a new backend when querying the vector database.

Removals

  • Support for the longstanding Instructor embedding models has been removed pursuant to the prior deprecation notice.

Installation

  • Just follow the installation instructions on the github readme.
