12. reor - self organizing AI note-taking app.

reor

 

One of the most exciting projects that I've seen so far, especially because it runs models locally.

Reor is an AI-powered desktop note-taking app. It automatically links related notes, answers questions on your notes, and provides semantic search.

Everything is stored locally and you can edit your notes with an Obsidian-like markdown editor. The project hypothesizes that AI tools for thought should run models locally by default.

Reor stands on the shoulders of the giants Ollama, Transformers.js & LanceDB to enable both LLMs and embedding models to run locally. Connecting to OpenAI or OpenAI-compatible APIs like Oobabooga is also supported.

I know you're wondering How can it possibly be self-organizing?

a. Every note you write is chunked and embedded into an internal vector database.
b. Related notes are connected automatically via vector similarity.
c. LLM-powered Q&A does RAG on the corpus of notes.
d. Everything can be searched semantically.

You can watch the demo here!

demo

One way to think about Reor is as a RAG app with two generators: the LLM and the human. In Q&A mode, the LLM is fed retrieved context from the corpus to help answer a query.

Similarly, in editor mode, we can toggle the sidebar to reveal related notes retrieved from the corpus. This is quite a powerful way of augmenting your thoughts by cross-referencing ideas in a current note against related ideas from your digital collection.

You can read the docs and download from the website. Mac, Linux & Windows are all supported.

They have also provided starter guides to help you get started.

21. Unsloth - Finetune Llama 3, Mistral, Phi & Gemma LLMs 2-5x faster with 80% less memory.

unsloth

 

Unsloth makes finetuning large language models like Llama-3, Mistral, Phi-3, and Gemma 2x faster, use 70% less memory, and with no degradation in accuracy!

✅ What is finetuning?

If we want a language model to learn a new skill, a new language, some new programming language, or simply want the language model to learn how to follow and answer instructions like how ChatGPT functions, we do finetuning!

Finetuning is the process of updating the actual brains of the language model through some process called back-propagation. But, finetuning can get very slow and very resource intensive.

 

Unsloth can be installed locally or through another GPU service like Google Colab. Most use Unsloth through the interface Google Colab which provides a free GPU to train with.

Finetune for Free

Some of the things that stand out:

✅ Open source trains 5x faster, and the pro version claims to be 30x faster.

✅ No approximation methods are used resulting in a 0% loss in accuracy.

✅ No change of hardware, Works on Linux and Windows via WSL.
