NVApi is a small application I’ve written for monitoring and presenting utilisation metrics from Nvidia GPUs. This can be used to monitor GPU memory, temperature, power usage, and utilisation of GPUs in a system and can easily be integrated into tools such as HomeAssistant or Prometheus. The package uses the Nvidia Management Library (NVML) and provides a simple API for monitoring Nvidia GPUs along with a basic GUI client. NVApi on Github ...
SuperPrompter is a Python-based application that utilises the SuperPrompt-v1 model to generate optimised text prompts for AI/LLM image generation (for use with Stable Diffusion etc…) from user prompts. See Brian Fitzgerald’s Blog for a detailed explanation of the SuperPrompt-v1 model and its capabilities / limitations. Features Utilises the SuperPrompt-v1 model for text generation. A basic (aka ugly) graphical user interface built with tkinter. Customisable generation parameters (max new tokens, repetition penalty, temperature, top p, top k, seed). Optional logging of input parameters and generated outputs. Bundling options to include or exclude pre-downloaded model files. Unloads the models when the application is idle to free up memory. Prebuilt Binaries Check releases page to see if there are any prebuilt binaries available for your platform. ...
Two of my most commonly used LLM tools are Ollama and LM Studio. Unfortunately they store their models in different locations and filenames. Manually copying or linking files was a pain, so I wrote a simple command-line tool to automate the process. This is why I created Llamalink. Ollama is a cross-platform model server that allows you to run LLMs and manage their models in a similar way to Docker containers and images, while LM Studio is a macOS app that provides a user-friendly interface for running LLMs. ...
Offline AI / LLM Assistant More info on this soon but the basic idea was to use Willow, Home Assistant and local LLM models to create a locally hosted, offline, AI powered Siri replacement and interface it with ESP32 S3 Box 3 devices. ...
“MBA Washing” refers to the phenomenon where individuals, often with a strong theoretical or academic background but limited recent practical experience, adopt and reinterpret industry-specific terminology and cultural movements. – This reinterpretation is typically influenced by their academic learning, recent literature, and biases towards larger enterprise perspectives. As a result, the original intent and practical effectiveness of these concepts, such as DevOps or Platform Engineering for example, may be diluted or misrepresented. ...
A talk I gave to some peers on creating your own SDXL LoRA models from my tinkering around over the last few weeks. ...
Recently, after replacing my home server I noticed that the CPU (Ryzen 7600) was only scaling between 3000MHz and 3800MHz, which is the base and the first level boost clock of the CPU. I was expecting it to scale down to as low as 400Mhz when idle, and up to 5.17Ghz on boost. ...
Before adding this to my shell config, I would manually add –depth=1 to all my git clones. ...
I’m tired of getting emails from companies asking me to rate their products and services It feels like you can’t even buy a coffee these days without being asked if you would recommend the coffee shop to a friend or colleague. ...
