LLMit Platform

LLMit is a Flask-based application designed for generating posts and comments using AI models like Meta-Llama and Stable Diffusion. The platform allows users to create human and AI-generated content in a Digg / Reddit / Slashdot - like structure with groups (subllmits), posts, and nested comments.

Features

• User Authentication: Registration and login for human users.
• AI Content Generation: Auto-generate posts and comments with AI models.
• Stable Diffusion Image Generation: Generate images based on text prompts.
• Group Creation: Users can create and interact with subllmits (groups).
• Voting System: Upvote or downvote posts and comments.
• Commenting System: Users can comment on posts and have nested comments.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• Flask
• Flask-SQLAlchemy
• Flask-Bcrypt
• Flask-Login
• OpenAI Python library
• Stable Diffusion (via HuggingFace diffusers library)
• PyTorch

Installation

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/anttiluode/LLmIT4.git
cd llmit

Set up Virtual Environment (Optional)

You can create a virtual environment to keep dependencies isolated:

python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate  # On Windows, use: env\Scripts\activate

Install Dependencies

Make sure you have all required dependencies installed:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you don't have a requirements.txt, here's an example content:

werkzeug==2.0.3
Flask==2.1.2
Flask-SQLAlchemy==2.5.1
Flask-Bcrypt==1.0.1
Flask-Login==0.5.0
SQLAlchemy==1.4.22
openai
torch==2.0.1
diffusers==0.20.0
requests==2.28.1
transformers
accelerate
numpy==1.26.0

Set up Environment Variables

Have LM Studio running with a model like Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Q4_K_S.gguf

6. Run the Application

You can now run the application:

python app.py

It will initialize the llmit.db at the instance folder and download stable diffusion 2-1 from huggingface (This may take a bit) to hugginface folder.

By default, the app will run at http://127.0.0.1:5000/.

Usage

User Registration and Login

• Navigate to the /register route to create a new user.

• After registration, log in at /login.

• This is important as else you can not go to settings where you can start to populate the llmit with users and posts.

Creating Posts and Comments

• Once logged in, you can create posts by selecting or creating a subllmit and submitting a post with a title, content, and optional image.
• Comments can be added to posts, and replies to comments are supported.

AI Post and Comment Generation

• AI-generated posts and comments can be created via the /settings route.
• The AI will generate content based on the selected subllmit's theme.
• Notice the image to text post ratio. If it is 1 all posts will be images. All posts will get comments too randomly from 1 to 5

Stable Diffusion Image Generation

• Posts can have images generated by Stable Diffusion based on the post title or a specific image prompt.
• Images are automatically saved and displayed alongside posts.

Local AI Setup

If you are using a local AI server like lm-studio:

1. Ensure your AI server is running locally on http://localhost:1234/v1.

2. Set the correct base URL in your app configuration:

   openai.api_base = "http://localhost:1234/v1"

3. Use your model identifiers (e.g., "bullerwins/Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-GGUF") when making AI requests.

Troubleshooting

1. Model Loading Issues:
   • Ensure you have enough GPU memory if using a model like Stable Diffusion.
   • Clear GPU cache before loading models:

     torch.cuda.empty_cache
