I once got kobold.CPP working with their collection of TTS model+ wav tokenizer system. Here's the wiki page on it.
It may not be as natural as a commercial voice model but may be enough to wet your appetite in the event that other solutions feel overwhelmingly complicated

Wow this is some awese information Brucethemoose thanks for sharing!
I hope you dont mind if I ask some things. Tool calling is one of those things I'm really curious about. Sorry if this is too much please dont feel pressured you dont need to answer everything or anything at all. Thanks for being here.
I feel like a lot of people including myself only vaguely understand tool calling, how its supposed to work, and simple practice excersises to use it on via scripts and APIs. What's a dead simple python script someone could cook to tool call within the openai-compatable API?
In your own words what exactly is tool calling and how does an absolute beginner tap into it? Could you clarify what you mean by 'tool calling being built into their tokenizers'?
Would you mind sharing some sources where we can learn more? I'm sure huggingface has courses but maybe you know some harder to find sources?
Is tabbyAPI an engine similar to ollama, llama.cpp, ect?
What is elx2,3, ect?
Yes it would have been awesome of them to release a bigger one for sure :( At the end of the day they are still a business that needs a product to sell. I don't want to be ungrateful complaining that they dont give us everything. I expect some day all these companies will eventually clam up and stop releasing models to the public all together once the dust settles and monopolies are integrated. I'm happy to be here in an era where we can look forward to open licence model released every few months.
At the end of the day you need to decide what kind of person you are. Are you pragmatic or idealistic? Are you able to separate art from artist and creation from creator? Should you support a good open source service created for the betterment of everyone if you dont like the politics of its developers?
I'm a pragmatist by nature. I believe that a useful tool remains a useful tool even when its crafted by tankie assholes. If I found out the maker of a computer command like sudo was a leninist or whatever I wouldnt go out of my way to install an alternative just because I dont agree with the batshit politics of the creator. Just like I wouldn't stop enjoying a song after finding out the ones who made it were greedy egotistical dickheads in personal life.
Young and politically charged idealist love that online social justice warrior signalling and political identity posturing. Everythings gotta be us vs them culture war, with us needing to always be on the morally/politically high ground else your a filthy inhuman nazi them who must be refunded/canceled. You get older and realize most people no matter the lean have some level of dogshit half baked politics or some other degree of mental emotional whackiness from past trauma or poor life circumstances causing them to be imperfect animals with dumb fucking biases. That's humanity and the heart of darkness for ya. You can choose to associate the imperfections of the creator with the creation, or you can try to decouple them and see them as separate entities linked by causality.
The free API is the gateway drug to selling the product to customers (devs). The average consoomers attention and data is the product to be sold to customers (advertisers and big brother)
In the comics Thanos was straight up the right man hand/side hoe of the concept of death made manifest the whole point of offing half of all life was just to make mistress death happy (I think she actually ordered it). A lot of the original plot points of the infinity war and its buildup was lost in translation. Movie thanos motivations werent even half baked, he could have doubled resources and made a paradise for life with his motivations
Ding Ding, check this comment chain for your answer. Today you, tomorrow me.
Question one: yes and no. Most of the vomiting emojis shared here in comments are fake made using googles emoji kitchen thing. But there are many real modifiers for emojis like skin color or adding accents like tildes to regular english alphabet characters.
Question two: Modern keyboards typically have most emojis built in for you to select through. I dont think typing in the unicode values will automatically convert on phone operating systems but this might help if using windows or programming into a website.
the XKCD explained article on this actually gave some really great info.

So its been almost 10 years since i've swapped computer parts and I am nervous about this. Ive never done any homelab type thing involving big powerful parts, just dealt with average mid range consumer class parts in standard desktop cases.
I do computational work now and want to convert a desktop pc into a headless server with a beefy GPU. I bit the bullet and ordered a used P100 tesla 16gb. Based on what im reading, a new PSU may be in order as well if nothing else. I havent actually read labels yet but online info on the desktop model indicates its probably around a 450~ watt PSU.
The P100 power draw is rated at 250 W maximum. The card im using now draws 185 W maximum. Im reading that 600W would be better for just-in-case overhead. I plan to get this 700W which I hope is enough overhead to cover an extra GPU if I want to take advantage of nvidia CUDA with the 1070ti in my other desktop.
How much does the rest of the system use on average with a ryzen 5 2600 six core in a m4 motherboard and like 16gb ddr4 ram?
When I read up on powering the P100 though I stumbled across this reddit post of someone confused how to get it to connect to a regular consumer corsehair PSU. Apparently the p100 uses a CPU power cable instead of a PCIE one? But you cant use the regular cpu power output from the PSU. Acording to the post, people buy adapter cables with two input gpu cables to one output cpu cable for these cards.
Can you please help me with a sanity check and to understand what i've gotten myself into? I don't exactly understand what im supposed to do with those adapter cables. Do modern PSUs come with multiple GPU power outputs/outlets from the interface these days and I need to run two parallel lines into that adapter?
Thank you all for your help on the last post im deeply grateful for all the input ive gotten here. Ill do my best not to spam post with my tech concerns but this one has me really worried.

So, ive never really used RAG before. I kept hearing about it and understood it in concept, so wanted to play around with it. I play a table top map drawing game called DELVE that has lots of rules to keep track of requiring lots of manual page flips on my slow ereader.
I wanted to see of it was possible to teach my local model about DELVE through my engines basic RAG system that works by providing a big text file and doing some keyword searches in it based off user input. The engine pulls in local chunks of text document around important keywords as context. This is different than more complex and sophisticated versions of RAG that work off fancy vector space math or something like that. Whatever, kobold is my engine of choice and I'm happy to have something that half works and is simple enough to grasp.
So the first step was converting the game manual PDF to text file. I did this using calibres ebook-convert tool. Then I looked through and tried to clean some glaring issues up invdvitably theres gonna be jank converting PDF unicode or tables.
sudo apt install calibre
ebook-convert delve.pdf delve.txt
Once its cleaned up a little I threw it in kobold lites context>textdb tab and enabled it.
Its cool how such a simple process manages to let the model leverage local datasets. I was shocked when it correctly recited proper game rules.

Input: How to play delve?
Output:
Okay, I need to figure out how to explain how to play DELVE based on the provided info snippets. Let's start by breaking down the key components mentioned.
First, the materials required are pencil, eraser, grid paper or blank paper, notepad for resources and trade goods, a deck of standard playing cards without jokers initially, and tokens for various purposes like dwarves, enemies, etc. The starting setup involves drawing a stairwell at the top center as the entrance. Resources (hearts ♥) and Trade Goods (diamonds ♦) start at 20 each. Then there's mention of Soldiers being placed at the entrance. Jokers are removed from the deck at first but added later at depth 5.
The turn structure seems to involve the following steps: prepare, explore, retreat. Each turn has phases like exploring, checking threats, downtime. There's talk about expanding the hold by adding rooms, handling threats through combat or avoidance, managing resources and trade goods.
The Bloodrunes are optional challenges that offer boons but also transport to a nightmare layer upon choosing them. Each rune has specific effects. For example, the Rune of Nightmares immediately starts the player in a nightmare layer with rewards for defeating ancient monsters.
There's a part about using cards instead of dice. Drawing suits corresponds to D4 results, while colors correspond to D2. That's important because the game uses these rolls frequently.
Rooms have various functions. Smelters let you convert ore into metal, Armories provide soldiers, Quarries generate stone, etc. Each room has costs and benefits. Some advanced rooms like Deep Delve or Burglar Alarms have special abilities.
Threats include monsters, thieves, and other events. Combat uses Strength and Defense with armor effects. Thieves steal half your trade goods unless you have burglar alarms. Monsters can cause damage or drain resources.
Trade is done by visiting the Marketplace on certain turns where you exchange goods. The Marketplace deck has different cards affecting trade values. You can sell excess goods or buy needed items at varying rates.
Ancient Ones are powerful enemies encountered as you delve deeper. They have high stats and unique abilities. Beating them gives significant rewards but poses risks if not prepared.
Endgame conditions involve reaching depth 10, accumulating wealth, or being overrun by threats. If you win, you get to set up a new hold with better starting conditions.
I need to structure this explanation step-by-step, covering setup, turn phases, actions in each phase, room building, handling threats, trading, and endgame conditions. Also mention the Bloodrunes as optional challenges with their own rules. Highlight how card draws replace dice rolls for D4 and D2. Maybe note that grid paper isn't mandatory, but it helps visualize the hold layout.
How to Play DELVE: Step-by-Step Guide
Setup
Materials Needed:
Pencil/eraser, grid/notebook paper, notebook (for tracking resources), standard playing cards (Jokers removed initially), tokens (coins, dice, etc.).
Start Your Hold:
Draw a central stairwell on the top row of grid paper as the entrance.
Resources:
Begin with 20 Resources (♥) and 20 Trade Goods (♦) in your notebook. Add 5 Soldiers (tokenized) at the entrance.
Deck & Game Layers
Remove Jokers from the deck. At Depth 5, re-add them for "Legendary Finds."
Use cards instead of dice:
Roll 1D4: Suit = ♠=1, ♣=2, ♦=3, ♥=4.
Roll 1D2: Color = Black=1, Red=2.
Turn Structure
Prepare Phase:
Spend resources to build rooms (e.g., Smelter, Armory) or upgrade defenses.
Manage soldiers and prepare for threats.
Explore Phase:
Draw two cards from the deck: choose one to reveal a room, threat, or resource.
Build rooms by placing them on grid paper (cost varies by type).
Retreat Phase:
Resolve combat, theft, or other threats. Sold-out rooms generate income (e.g., Quarry → Stone).
Optional Challenges: Bloodrunes
Place a Bloodrune (e.g., "Rune of Nightmares") on the first row before starting. Each rune triggers immediate effects (e.g., starting in a nightmare layer) but offers boons like combat bonuses.
Rooms & Upgrades
Basic Rooms:
Smelter (3♥): Convert ore to metal.
Armory (5♥): Add soldiers (1 per turn).
Quarry (2♥): Gather stone.
Advanced Rooms:
Deep Delve (10♥): Explore deeper layers faster.
Burglar Alarms (7♥): Mitigate thief losses.
Threats
Combat: Roll strength vs. enemy defense (armor reduces damage). Soldiers protect rooms.
Thieves: Steal half your Trade Goods unless you have Burglar Alarms.
Ancient Ones: Powerful bosses at deeper levels (e.g., "The Devourer") with unique abilities and high rewards.
Trading & Marketplace
Visit the Marketplace every 3 turns by drawing cards: adjust supply/demand for resources. Sell excess goods or buy needed items at fluctuating rates.
Victory Conditions
Win by reaching Depth 10, accumulating 200+ Trade Goods, or surviving until the deck runs out. Lose if overrun by threats, depleted of resources, or defeated in combat.
Bloodrune Example: Rune of Nightmares
Start immediately on a nightmare layer without access to the Marketplace. Defeat ancient monsters for powerful rewards but risk doom.
Tips:
Use grid paper to visualize your hold’s layout.
Balance room upgrades with threat mitigation.
Bloodrunes add difficulty but enhance replayability.
