Dive into the world of DIY AI! Ever wondered if it's possible to create a chatbot rivaling OpenAI's ChatGPT without breaking the bank? Join me in this exciting journey as I tackle the challenge with ChatGPFree, leveraging the power of HTMX and Server-Sent Events. Stop over-engineering your AI apps. In this video, I show you how to build a blazingly fast, fully local LLM streaming interface using HTMX and Server-Sent Events (SSE)—no complex WebSockets or React required. We dive into why SSE is the perfect 'middleman' for AI text generation, how to run models like Mistral 7B on consumer hardware, and how to simplify your stack for maximum performance.
