v1.3 Exe + Rag Drop
Download GobboNetSetup.exe below. 660 KB, Windows 10/11, no admin rights required.
New
Retrieval (RAG). GobboNet now runs a local embedding model alongside your chat model, so it can pull relevant pieces of your own documents into the conversation. Indexing happens on your machine like everything else — nothing gets uploaded to make it searchable.
One-click installer. No more pulling loose files out of the repo. One small installer, per-user install, Start Menu and desktop shortcuts, and an uninstaller that asks before it goes near your downloaded models.
launch.exe and launchLAN.exe. Double-clickable launchers instead of raw .bat files. launchLAN.exe handles the optional phone/tablet setup and tells you what it's about to do before Windows asks for admin.
Fixed
- llama.cpp detection could report a false positive on an empty
llama-cppfolder and skip the download entirely. The server then died on startup with an empty log, which looked like a VRAM problem but wasn't.
Quality of life
- Linux flag
- PW recovery flag on install
- Improved truncation prompting for compression
- Installer + uninstaller
Installing
- Run
GobboNetSetup.exe - Windows shows "Windows protected your PC" → More info → Run anyway. The installer isn't signed with a paid certificate.
- Open GobboNet, pick a model, let it download
- Optional: run LAN Setup from the Start Menu to reach it from your phone
