Show HN: Clippy – 90s UI for local LLMs
You might be wondering: What’s the point of all this? Why? Clippy is basically art. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that this little app is all that magnificent or something that belongs in a museum, I mean “art” in the sense that I’ve made it like other people do watercolors or pottery - I made it because building it was fun for me.
Clippy lets you run a variety of large language models (LLMs) locally on your computer while sticking with a user interface of the 1990s. It's a love letter and homage to the late, great Clippy - and the visual design created by Microsoft in that era. Thanks to llama.cpp and node-llama-cpp, the app will automatically discover the most efficient way to run your models (Metal, CUDA, Vulkan, etc).
