Does this mean it will be possible to use llama.cpp? |

There's an option to add a generic openai compatible instance
It mostly works but you have to add the In this example Orca_Mini generated a message and the chat title
It got confused at the end, I'm not sure if that's the model or llama.cpp but I just did a normal message request using the OpenAI libraries, I don't think it has to do with Alpaca |

Looks really awesome! Keep up the great work, I'm really looking forward to it. The app looks so much more organized now! |

I made the release a couple of hours ago, it's taking longer than expected for it to be reflected in Flathub but it will be released eventually in an hour or two |

Still does not seem to have arrived on Flathub... hm. Something that's even more weird is that not even my change (last week!) from #547 has been reflected on the Flathub entry. Are you sure it's all still linked up correctly? This is taking way longer than normal... |

The change you made wouldn't have been updated until I made a release anyways, like I said, it will be reflected in Flathub in a couple of hours, maybe their bot is overwhelmed or maybe it needs manual review since the metadata changed |

Oh, okay. Didn't know that. Then let's just be patient! :) |

Update on this: I just found out why it wasn't updating, you see, I changed the short description from "chat with local AI models" to "chat with local and online AI models", changing that metadata needed manual review but it has been approved by a contributor of Flathub 10 minutes ago, so I think it's all good now :D |

Hi everyone, I've prepared one of the biggest Alpaca updates!
Confirmed Release Date:
February 22, 2025Welcome Screen
I've replaced the welcome dialog with a new welcome screen with more stuff, it will show up for everyone once you update.
Instance Manager
The big one, Alpaca has been ported to OpenAI's library, this means Alpaca can now work with a lot more AI providers, not just Ollama.
New Titles in Model Manager
It said 'model' like 4 times in the titlebar of the model manager, I think it's better this way.
Preferences is Almost Empty
Most things have been moved to the instances preferences so now the main preferences dialog is almost empty.
New Model Selector
It now shows a search bar if there are more than 10 added models.
The Part Where the Developer Gets All Mushy
I just wanted to say thank you again for all the support, this month I raised $50 in donations, which isn't anywhere close to a salary but it does make me really happy, Alpaca is still a hobby project for me and I'm grateful that people see value in it.
Of course I will continue coding, there are probably some bugs and stuff that needs patching.
Alpaca has almost reached 100k downloads on Flathub alone, this is actually a big moment for me personally even though probably half of those downloads were people who just tried it out for a couple of minutes and then deleted it.
Alpaca has taken hundreds of hours of my life and I plan on giving it a couple thousand more.
Thanks as always for the support and patience!
