Alpaca Electron is built from the ground-up to be the easiest way to chat with the alpaca AI models. No command line or compiling needed!

• Fully local to your computer
• Compact and efficient since it uses alpaca.cpp as it's backend
• Runs on the CPU, meaning no need for an expensive graphics card
• No external dependencies required, everything is included in the installer

Step 1. Download the model file and place it somewhere on your computer where it's easy to find.

Step 2. Download the latest .exe from the releases section.

Step 3. Open the program and wait for it to install.

Step 4. Once done installing, it'll ask for a valid path to a model. Now, go to where you placed the model, hold shift, right click on the file, and then click on "Copy as Path". Then, paste this into that dialog box.

Step 5. The program will automatically restart. Now you can begin chatting!

• If you get an error like, "Invalid file path" when pasting the path to the model file, you probably have some sort of misspelling in there. Try getting the path again.
• If you get an error like, "Invalid model file", your model is probably corrupted. Try downloading the model again
• If you get any other error, create an issue in the "Issues" tab at the top of this page. Describe in detail what happens, and include screenshots.

Credits go to antimatter15 for creating alpaca.cpp and Sosaka for creating the 4 bit quantized Alpaca 7B Native model file. Credits also go to chavinlo for creating the original Alpaca 7B Native model, and to ggerganov for creating llama.cpp, the backbones behind alpaca.cpp. Finally, credits go to Meta and Stanford for creating the LLaMA and Alpaca models, respectively.
