Join me for a full day workshop at @gopherconuk on Practical AI and how you can integrate AI/LLMs in your #golang applications.
It draws on my experience of working at the forefront of AI development for the past few years.
Looking forward to share all of this with you!

I created the Model Playground in Kronk, kronkai.com/, because nothing I could find so far allowed me to optimize llama.cpp for _my_ hardware.
Tokens / s mean nothing when your context window can take up to 3x times more minutes to fill than it needs to.
It uses proper request/replies with multiple turns ensure accurate numbers are generated.
Yes, you'll spend a lot of time doing the initial run. Maybe I'll optimize that in future versions.

Just had one of those WTF! moments.
I clicked both Chrome and @JetBrains_Fleet.
Fleet opened faster than Chrome but for some reason I was staring at it waiting to open.
Then I had the WTF moment! It's opened for a while now Florin, go do some work.
