Looking for a recommendation on an LLM that can guide a user on how to manually set up a home server that runs Jellyfin, Arr Stack, etc. Have a couple of friends interested and I have some spare old NUCs I was going to give them, so I was going to download the software for them and then walk them through it.
But it’ll be difficult to align our schedules for the next month or so (school starting and different time zones) so then I thought maybe I could just run an LLM they could use on my main PC for when they have time.
Why not just use one of the existing services? Those cost extra money and none of us want to financially support those companies.
Is GPT4all still up to date though? I see the last release was in 2024
Release v3.10.0 dropped on Feb 24, 2025, so yeah it does have a little age. I’m not sure how often they would need to update the front end, as it seems the models are the driving force.
Mature software doesn’t need hourly updates. All the shit that leverages the library repos in horribly unsafe ways - ohai npm - that stuff needs constant updates.
