v2.15.0
🎉 LocalAI v2.15.0! 🚀
Hey awesome people! I'm happy to announce the release of LocalAI version 2.15.0! This update introduces several significant improvements and features, enhancing usability, functionality, and user experience across the board. Dive into the key highlights below, and don't forget to check out the full changelog for more detailed updates.
🌍 WebUI Upgrades: Turbocharged!
🚀 Vision API Integration
The Chat WebUI now seamlessly integrates with the Vision API, making it easier for users to test image processing models directly through the browser interface - this is a very simple and hackable interface in less then 400L of code with Alpine.JS and HTMX!
💬 System Prompts in Chat
System prompts can be set in the WebUI chat, which guide the user through interactions more intuitively, making our chat interface smarter and more responsive.
🌟 Revamped Welcome Page
New to LocalAI or haven't installed any models yet? No worries! The updated welcome page now guides users through the model installation process, ensuring you're set up and ready to go without any hassle. This is a great first step for newcomers - thanks for your precious feedback!
🔄 Background Operations Indicator
Don't get lost with our new background operations indicator on the WebUI, which shows when tasks are running in the background.
🔍 Filter Models by Tag and Category
As our model gallery balloons, you can now effortlessly sift through models by tag and category, making finding what you need a breeze.
🔧 Single Binary Release
LocalAI is expanding into offering single binary releases, simplifying the deployment process and making it easier to get LocalAI up and running on any system.
For the moment we have condensed the builds which disables AVX and SSE instructions set. We are also planning to include cuda builds as well.
🧠 Expanded Model Gallery
This release introduces several exciting new models to our gallery, such as 'Soliloquy', 'tess', 'moondream2', 'llama3-instruct-coder' and 'aurora', enhancing the diversity and capability of our AI offerings. Our selection of one-click-install models is growing! We pick carefully model from the most trending ones on huggingface, feel free to submit your requests in a github issue, hop to our Discord or contribute by hosting your gallery, or.. even by adding models directly to LocalAI!
