I wanted a #writing copilot application with #GenerativeAI, and one that does not send my content to a remote data center for processing. It took less that 60 lines of #Python code, and the use of an #OpenSource #LLM model, to create a simple and straightforward Web UI based application.

I wanted a platform to support my #upskilling efforts in #GenerativeAI, #MachineLearning and #NaturalLanguageProcessing. Finding one that met my needs took me some time, labor and a surprisingly modest amount of cash.

I built one myself with refurbished parts for under USD 500, and it performs fairly well with open source #LLM models.

I retired my 15 year old #Ubuntu LTS #laptop when I bought a 10 year old refurbished #Dell Optiplex 9020 with a #Nvidia #Geoforce 1050 Ti #GPU, so I can experiment with #GenAI, #MachineLearning and #LLM.

P. S. Yes I loaded #Linux on the Dell.
