An easy way to try local AI with braindead-local-intelligence

Most guides require installing a lot of things and choosing models among thousands of files, so I made a small project doing it for me. => https://git.coopix.eu/public/braindead-local-intelligence braindead-local-intelligence project page The name is a bad pun, "braindead" because you just start it to try without much thinking about it, and "local intelligence" because it runs some "intelligence" on your own computer :) In this blog post, I present the project and how to get started with it. # What it does The project runs a few containers with podman: a LLM server compatible with the OpenAI API, an image generation server, SearXNG for the web search and Open WebUI as a web interface.
