Creating Chat Adventures from scratch with llamafile, Haystack and Character Codex

[anakin87]

I built something that I want to share 👇

What if 🤔... Homer Simpson met Spider-Man and they went on a quest for donuts? 🍩
Or if Fred Astaire and Corporal Hicks teamed up to fight xenomorphs? 👾

In the words of Karpathy, LLMs are dream machines... they seem specially made to simulate these wild scenarios!

Experimenting with this idea
Nous Research/teknium recently released Character Codex:
a massive dataset with information on 16k characters, both fictional and real. I couldn't wait to play it...

After a few attempts, I found that combining the information in this dataset with a good model (like
Llama-3-8B-Instruct) opens the doors to a myriad of chat adventures.

🛠️ Stack:

• Haystack for orchestration 🏗️
• llamafile 🦙🗂️ to run our model locally.

(includes a bonus 🕵️ Mystery Character Quiz)
