Show HN: I built a free in-browser Llama 3 chatbot powered by WebGPU
I spent the last few days building out a nicer ChatGPT-like interface to use Mistral 7B and Llama 3 fully within a browser (no deps and installs).<p>I’ve used the WebLLM project by MLC AI for a while to interact with LLMs in the browser when handling sensitive data but I found their UI quite lacking for serious use so I built a much better interface around WebLLM.<p>I’ve been using it as a therapist and coach. And it’s wonderful knowing that my personal information never leaves my local computer.<p>Should work on Desktop with Chrome or Edge. Other browsers are adding WebGPU support as well - see the Github for details on how you can get it to work on other browsers.<p>Note: after you send the first message, the model will be downloaded to your browser cache. That can take a while depending on the model and your internet connection. But on subsequent page loads, the model should be loaded from the IndexedDB cache so it should be much faster.<p>The project is open source (Apache 2.0) on Github. If you like it, I’d love contributions, particularly around making the first load faster.<p>Github: <a href="https://github.com/abi/secret-llama">https://github.com/abi/secret-llama</a>
