# ArtyLLaMA: Empowering AI Creativity in the Open Source Community 🦙🎨

ArtyLLaMA is an experimental chat interface for Open Source Large Language Models, leveraging the power of Ollama, OpenAI, and Anthropic. It features dynamic content generation and display through an "Artifacts-like" system, making AI-assisted creativity more accessible and interactive.

## Project Description

ArtyLLaMA is not a model itself, but a framework that allows users to interact with various language models. It provides a user-friendly interface for generating creative content, code, and visualizations using state-of-the-art language models.

### Key Features:

- 🦙 **Multi-Provider Integration**: Seamless support for Ollama, OpenAI, and Anthropic models
- 🎨 **Dynamic Artifact Generation**: Create and display content artifacts during chat interactions
- 🖥️ **Real-time HTML Preview**: Instantly visualize HTML artifacts with interactive canvas
- 🔄 **Multi-Model Support**: Choose from multiple language models across providers
- 📱 **Responsive Design**: Mobile-friendly interface built with Tailwind CSS
- 🌙 **Dark Mode**: Easy on the eyes with a default dark theme
- 🚀 **Local Inference**: Run models locally for privacy and customization
- 🖋️ **Code Syntax Highlighting**: Enhanced readability for various programming languages
- 🎭 **SVG Rendering Support**: Display AI-created vector graphics
- 🌐 **3D Visualization**: Utilize Three.js for 3D visualizations and simulations
- 🔐 **User Authentication**: JWT-based system for user registration and login
- 📚 **Personalized Chat History**: Store and retrieve messages based on user ID
- 🔍 **Semantic Search**: Cross-model semantic search capabilities in chat history
- 🔀 **Dynamic Embedding Collections**: Support for multiple embedding models with automatic collection creation

## Intended Use

ArtyLLaMA is designed for developers, researchers, and creative professionals who want to:
- Explore the capabilities of various language models
- Generate and iterate on creative content, including code, designs, and written text
- Prototype AI-assisted applications and workflows
- Experiment with local and cloud-based AI inference

## Limitations

- Local setup requires installation of Ollama for certain features
- Performance depends on the user's hardware capabilities or chosen cloud provider
- Does not include built-in content moderation (users should implement their own safeguards)

## Ethical Considerations

Users of ArtyLLaMA should be aware of:
- Potential biases present in the underlying language models
- The need for responsible use and content generation
- Privacy implications of using AI-generated content and storing chat history

## Technical Specifications

- **Frontend**: React-based with Tailwind CSS
- **Backend**: Node.js with Express.js
- **Required Libraries**: React, Express.js, Tailwind CSS, Three.js, and others (see package.json)
- **Supported Model Formats**: Those supported by Ollama, OpenAI, and Anthropic
- **Hardware Requirements**: Varies based on the chosen model and deployment method
