๐ฃ Adrian Hesketh - Generative AI for Gophers
In this session, Adrian will walk you through an open source Go application that indexes and displays markdown documents in a website, and allows you to ask questions about the documents via a Large Language Model that's able to retrieve related documents to provide context for better results, all running on your own hardware. It will touch on `rqlite` - a replicated sqlite database written in Go, `ollama` - a Go project that helps you run large language models locally, `sql_vec` - a vector search plugin for sqlite, and how to use the Ollama streaming APIs to update the UI as the chat response is streamed using `templ` and `htmx` without writing any JavaScript.
7:30 - 8:00pm: To the pub!
