Run a free, uncensored, offline ChatGPT-like on your laptop.

You can use any open-source LLM without any technical knowledge.

I'll show you how in 3 easy steps:
Start by downloading LM Studio to your computer.

Available on Windows / MacOS / Linux here: lmstudio(dot)ai
Then open LM Studio and go to the 🔎 icon to search for an LLM.

I recommend "TheBloke/OpenHermes -2.5 -Mistral -7B -GGUF", which is brilliant.

Then download the "Q6_K" version, a good compromise between compression and quality (this is the one I use).

Note: downloading may take a while depending on your Internet connection.
All that's left is to open a new conversation by clicking on "💬".

Select the model you've just downloaded in the top bar (as in the video) and write your prompt as on ChatGPT.
Note: speed depends on your laptop.

If you have a dedicated GPU or an ARM Mac (M1, M2, M3) this will be the fastest.

But I don't have either, and it's still perfectly usable.
Please let me know if you're interested in more content about the world of open-source AI!

Bard has changed the way we learn.

As it now understands YouTube videos, it’s the best learning tool.

I've been using it all the time for a few days so here's how to do it: 🧵 Image
Start by finding videos on the topic you want to learn.

Prompt (e.g.): “Show me YouTube videos for building an app without coding using AppSheet. Find at least 3 videos: one for beginner, another for intermediate level and one for advanced level.”
Personalized learning:

You can then create a personalized course easily.

Prompt (e.g.): “Knowing that I already master [topic] but not yet [other topic], summarizes the things I need to master in this first video. Uses bullet points and details the technical steps.”

I give it the link to a Python course as an example.

Microsoft Copilot can create your PowerPoint for free.

You can even design your slides with a single click.

I'll show you how with just one prompt: Image
1. Generate content with Copilot

Using the prompt below, Copilot will :

- Search for information on your topic
- Write the content of your slides
- Generate a ready-to-use PowerPoint macro

Get free access to Copilot here:
copilot .microsoft .com

Here's the prompt template to use:

"Act as an expert in VBA macro creation for PowerPoint. Think step by step. Research information about [TOPIC]. Then create a PowerPoint macro that creates [XX] slides with a title and short text for each. Your answer need only be the macro's VBA code with ALL the information inside."

In the video example:

- [TOPIC] = "the history of Silicon Valley"
- [XX] = "10" (for 10 slides)
2. Create the slideshow using the macro

Access PowerPoint's Developer tab.

If you don't have it, right-click on the ribbon → Customize the Ribbon → Check Developer.

Click on Macros, enter a name and click on Create.

In the window, copy and paste the VBA code given by Copilot.

Note:

Check that the macro does not contain pptApp.Quit or pptPres.Close.

If it does, delete these to avoid any problems.

Google Bard has just received an important update.

It can now create charts to visualize data.

And you can even modify and export them with a single click.

I'll show you how to create charts without writing formulas: Image
1. Create or import a table

You can copy and paste a table into your prompt.

But you can also ask Bard to generate one with data from the web.

Example prompt:

"Create a table showing the evolution of Apple and Samsung smartphone sales in the US over the last five years."

You've already done the hard part!
2. Generate the chart

You can now generate the chart in a single prompt.

Bard can generate several types of chart:
Column chart / Scatter plot / Bar chart / Line chart

Here's the prompt you can use:

"Could you now create a [chart type] to visualize this data?"

Bard will then generate Python code and create a chart from it.
