Dumbar, A Not so Smart Smartbar App

The article introduces Dumbar, a new application designed to simplify access to language learning models (LLMs). The app, which relies on Ollama for its functionality, allows users to easily switch between different models for various tasks such as generating drink recipes or writing code. The author suggests that Dumbar could be particularly useful for tasks that require frequent context switching.

However, there are two catches to using Dumbar. Firstly, users need to install and run Ollama, and secondly, the app currently only supports Apple Silicon macs. The author assures readers that as soon as Ollama expands its support to other environments, Dumbar will follow suit. The application is open source and its repository can be found on GitHub.

Key takeaways:

Dumbar is a new application designed to simplify access to LLMs (Language Model Libraries).
The app relies on Ollama to do the heavy lifting and allows users to switch between different models easily.
There are two prerequisites to use Dumbar: you need to install and run Ollama, and you need an Apple Silicon mac.
