#llamafile has been instrumental in my first projects relying on language models (I purposely left “large” aside, as the one I used for #BYOTA is tiny).

While looking for support for more recent models I tried other applications, but I never felt “at home” with them as I did with llamafile. This is why I am so happy of this move: breathing new life into it is, for me, giving ppl a new chance to better understand (what ppl now call) “#AI” while tinkering with it.

Uuuh the video of the #BYOTA speed demo at #fediforum2025 is online!

Today I woke up then I used #BYOTA to build an algorithmic timeline on #Bluesky... A good 8 hours before #FediForum starts 😅 so there's something more I can bring there!

Nice facts:

- everything runs on a #RaspberryPi 5
- the diff with the https://github.com/MarshalX/bluesky-feed-generator example is ~10 lines of code
- I dedicated my experiment to PrideMonth and I got a fabulous timeline in return 

#BYOTA (Build Your Own Timeline Algorithm)

«Most of us have accepted the status quo of algorithmic timelines designed to maximize our time spent scrolling through "everything-nothing content," as Davide aptly called it.

BYOTA proposes something different: a timeline that helps us find meaningful content, respects our privacy by processing everything locally rather than in the cloud, and puts control back in our hands»

New blog post: Building a custom feed on ATProto

https://aittalam.github.io/posts/2025-04-13-building-a-custom-feed-on-atproto/

(no, I am not moving to Bluesky, I just want to understand how generalizable #BYOTA is and break as many walls as I can in the process 🙂)

One thing I missed when writing the Blueprint post about #BYOTA was a more personal take about it. Well, here it is: https://aittalam.github.io/posts/2025-04-05-byota/

(If you are wondering about the Blueprint post: https://fosstodon.org/@mala/114202120125293155)

I already talked about why we should own our timeline algorithms (https://fosstodon.org/@mala/113967540546211928 ) and promised a blog post soon… Here’s the long awaited post AND a whole new Mozilla.ai Blueprint 🔥

https://blog.mozilla.ai/build-your-own-timeline-algorithm-a-blueprint-2/

I chose the Blueprint format as a commitment to share my work better, with updated code, more documentation, Docker images, and a demo you can play with right now: https://mozilla-ai-byota.hf.space/
