This is an experiment on how to build applications using local models using Streamlit and Ollama

This is my attempt to a barebones ChatGPT clone. This uses Ollama and Llama3 but it should technically work with any model and OpenAI-compatible API.

Prerequisites

1. Install ollama in your machine and start it
2. Pull the llama3 model (ollama pull llama3)
3. Python 3

How to Use

1. Create a file called secrets.toml in the root of the content with the following content (you can change the values if you want to use a different model or the OpenAI service)

    ```
    OPENAI_API_KEY = "ollama"
    OLLAMA_BASE_URL= "http://localhost:11434/v1"
    OLLAMA_MODEL ="llama3"
    ```
   

2. Crete a virtual environment, activate it, and install the dependencies

    ```
    python3 -m venv venv
    source venv/bin/activate
    pip install -r requirements.txt
    ```
   

3. Start the streamlit service

    ```
    streamlit run hello.py
    ```
   

4. Go to http://localhost:8501/ and start chatting!
