# gpt4all-chat

Cross platform Qt based GUI for GPT4All versions with GPT-J as the base
model. NOTE: The model seen in the screenshot is actually a preview of a
new training run for GPT4All based on GPT-J. The GPT4All project is busy
at work getting ready to release this model including installers for all
three major OS's. In the meantime, you can try this UI out with the original
GPT-J model by following build instructions below.

## Building and running

* Follow the visual instructions on the [build_and_run](build_and_run.md) page

## Getting the latest

If you've already checked out the source code and/or built the program make sure when you do a git fetch to get the latest changes and that you also do ```git submodule update --init --recursive``` to update the submodules.

## Manual download of models
* You can find a 'Model Explorer' on the official website where you can manually download models that we support: https://gpt4all.io/index.html

## Terminal Only Interface with no Qt dependency

Check out https://github.com/kuvaus/LlamaGPTJ-chat which is using the llmodel backend so it is compliant with our ecosystem and all models downloaded above should work with it.

## Contributing

* Pull requests welcome. See the feature wish list for ideas :)
