Ai

Today, generative AIs meet many uses, and it would be a shame not to take advantage of them. However, in the age of the GDPR, it’s legitimate to question the exposure of customer or partner data when relying solely on AI providers whose data processing remains opaque.

Having myself participated in the construction of one of these new virtual assistant services, I offer here a simple guide to starting up a machine and evaluating the performance of your AI application, or to offering your employees access to sovereign AI, with the aim of easily comparing the different models available.

It’s possible to use generative AI without sharing your data with companies or states that raid our data.

The world of free software is full of applications for evaluating and using generative AI. After extensive testing, I present here the cloud-init file for deploying your own LocalAI instance in under 5 minutes.

Why LocalAI?

LocalAI is a free software application designed to offer a local, self-hosted alternative to AI service providers. The application features an API compatible with that of OpenAI. The idea is to be able to replace calls to OpenAI from any existing application in the blink of an eye: simply change the domain to which the API points.
