| archiv wrote:
| Both! You have the option of using HF's HuggingChat or
| switching to a local model using a keyboard shortcut

| Linux users have a pretty excellent native Ollama client called
| Alpaca, it's well worth checking out:

| It's still early in development but supports multimodal and
| some nice looking code blocks.

| Yes but you now have the ability to run queries with a shortcut

| @isodev sorry about that! Just uploaded a video to the

| Slightly off topic: some of the tools in HuggingChat don't work,
| even one of the official ones (Image Editor):
| Error calling tool Image Editor Parameters image:
| output_2_0.webp prompt: add a smiling emoji Error
| An error occurred while calling the tool edit_image: No API found
| Error calling tool TTS (fast) Parameters text: hello
| description: Laura's voice is monotone yet slightly fast in
| delivery, with a very close recording that almost has no
| background noise. Error An error occurred while
| calling the tool gen_tts_fast: Error: Error: Could not resolve

| I'm using Raycast AI (paid subscription) to interact with AI
| models through the use of hotkeys. It can even act upon selected
| text. I've got several hotkeys set up: - translate (selected
| text) to English/Spanish/Italian (3 hotkeys) - fix (selected
| text) English/Spanish/Italian grammar (3 hotkeys) - add (selected
| text) to current chat prompt where I can continue typing
|
| There's also a built-in "Summarize webpage" AI action that I
| assigned a hotkey to and I can get a nice summary of the
| currently opened webpage without having to read the whole
| article.
|
| These save me so much time and help me better my language skills.
| Especially when fixing grammar. When fixing grammar, it shows you
| the diff so you can see what you wrote incorrectly and how to
| write it correctly.
|
| It also allows you to paste the text, from the app window into
| the last used app simply by pressing ENTER. I also use this a
| lot.
|
| Just some feedback.
